• As this camera is not waterproof, do not use the camera where it may come 

in contact with rain, water or any other liquid.

• Ensure that the camera is not subjected to substantial vibrations, shock, or 

pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera when it is subjected to the 
vibrations of a motorbike, car, ship, etc.

• The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C 

(32°F to 104°F).

• The LCD monitor will become black at a high temperature but will return to 

normal when normal temperatures are returned to.

• The response speed of the LCD monitor becomes slow at low temperatures. 

This is due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a fault.

• Periodic checks are recommended every 1 to 2 years in order to maintain 

high performance.

• 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 the camera out when the 
difference in temperature has subsided.

• Be careful not to allow dirt, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases or salt to 

enter the camera as this may damage the camera. Wipe away any 
raindrops or water droplets and allow the camera to dry.

• Refer to “Precautions When Using an SD Memory Card” (p.24) regarding 

the SD Memory Card.

• Please note that formatting an SD Memory Card or built-in memory will 

delete all data; however it may still be possible to recover that data using 
off-the-shelf data recovery software. Please manage your camera memory 
at your own risk.

• Please do not press forcefully on the LCD monitor. This could cause 

breakage 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 LCD monitor.

• When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the 

screw in the tripod socket on the camera.
