• Some portions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as there is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long periods of time.
• Should the display be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin, in your eyes, or in your mouth.
• Depending on your individual factors or physical condition, the use of the camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any abnormality, stop using the camera and get medical attention immediately.
About the Power Adapter and the AC Adapter
Warning
• Always use the power adapter or AC adapter exclusively developed for this camera, with the specified power and voltage. Using a power adapter or AC adapter not exclusive to this camera, or using the exclusive power adapter or AC adapter with an unspecified power or voltage can cause a fire, electric shock, or camera breakdown. The specified voltage is 100-240V AC.
• Do not disassemble or modify the product. This can cause a fire or electric shock.
• If the generation of smoke or strange odor from the product or other abnormality occurs, immediately discontinue its use and consult your nearest service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric shock.
• If water should happen to get inside the product, consult your nearest service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric shock.
• If you see a lightning flash or hear thunder during use of the power adapter or AC adapter, unplug the AC plug and discontinue use.
Continued use can cause damage to the product, fire, or electric shock.
• Wipe off the AC plug if it becomes covered with dust. Accumulated dust may cause a fire.
Caution

• Do not touch or short-circuit the terminal area of the USB cord or AC plug cord while the cord is plugged in.
• Do not handle the AC plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric shock.
• Do not subject the product to strong impacts or allow it to drop onto a hard surface. This can cause a malfunction.
• Do not use the power adapter to charge a battery other than a rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI92. This can cause overheating, explosion, or power adapter failure.
• To reduce the risk of hazards, use only a CSA/UL certified power supply cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper, one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or the equivalent.

Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera
• When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is included in the package. This will be useful if you experience problems abroad.
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures
(such as at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.
• The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.
About the Battery and Power Adapter
• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully charged state or in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.
• The AC plug adapter D-PL135 is designed for exclusive use with the
Power Adapter D-PA135. Do not use it with other devices.
Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera
• Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding vehicles, which can become very hot inside.
• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as this may cause damage, malfunction, or a loss in waterproof performance. Place the camera on a cushion for protection when the camera is subjected to the vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc. If the camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure, take your camera to your nearest service center and have it checked.

• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is -10°C to
40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• The display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal at normal temperatures.
• The response speed of the display becomes slow at low temperatures.
This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a malfunction.
• If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on the inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag and take it out when the difference in temperature has subsided.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt. These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops.
• Do not press the display with excessive force. This could cause it to break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to sit down with the camera in your back pocket as this may damage the exterior of the camera or the display.
• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket on the camera.
Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol or benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
Storing Your Camera
• Avoid storing the camera where pesticides and chemicals are handled.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a well-ventilated place to prevent the camera from becoming moldy during storage.
• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high performance.
Other Precautions
• The SD Memory Card is equipped with a write-protect switch. Setting the switch to LOCK prevents new data from being recorded on the card, the stored data from being deleted, and the card from being formatted by the
Write-protect switch camera or computer.
r appears on the display when the card is write-protected.
• Care should be taken when removing the SD Memory Card immediately after using the camera, as the card may be hot.
• Keep the battery cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the camera off while the data is being played back or saved to the card, or the camera is connected to a computer with the USB cable, as this may cause the data to be lost or the card to be damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it away from water and store away from high temperature.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card during formatting as this may damage the card and render it unusable.
• The data on the SD Memory Card may be lost in the following circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted
(1) when the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
(2) when the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
(3) when the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
(4) when the SD Memory Card is ejected or the batteries are removed while the card is being accessed.

• If it is not used for a long time, the data on the card may become unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of important data on a computer.
• Be sure to format SD Memory Cards that are unused or have been used on another camera.
• When using an SD Memory Card with a slow recording speed, recording may stop while recording a movie even if there is adequate space in the memory, or image capture or playback may take a long time.
• Please note that deleting data, or formatting the SD Memory Cards or the built-in memory does not completely erase the original data.
Deleted files can sometimes be recovered using commercially available software. It is user’s responsibility to ensure the privacy of such data.
