Notes
on recording/playback
• To ensure stable operations
of the memory
card, we recommend
that you use
this camera to format any memory
card being used with this camera for the
first time. Note that formatting
will erase all data recorded
on the memory
card. This data cannot be restored.
Be sure to back-up any important
data to a
PC or other storage
location.
• Before you start recording,
make a trial recording
to make sure that the
camera
is working
correctly.
• The camera
is neither
dust-proof,
nor splash-proof,
nor water-proof.
Read
"Precautions"
(page 25) before operating
the camera.
• Avoid exposing
the camera
to water. If water enters inside the camera, a
malfunction
may occur. In some cases, the camera
cannot be repaired.
• Do not aim the camera
at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the
malfunction
of the camera.
• Do not use the camera
near a location
that generates
strong radio waves or
emits radiation.
Otherwise,
the camera
may not properly
record or play back
images.
• Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations
may cause malfunctions.
• If moisture
condensation
occurs, remove
it before using the camera.
• Do not shake or strike the camera.
It may cause a malfunction
and you may
not be able to record images.
Furthermore,
the recording
media may become
unusable
or image data may be damaged.
• Clean the flash surface
before use. The heat of flash emission
may cause dirt
on the flash surface to become
discolored
or to stick to the flash surface,
resulting
in insufficient
light emission.
Notes
on the LCD screen
and lens
• The LCD screen is manufactured
using extremely
high-precision
technology
so over 99.99%
of the pixels are operational
for effcctive
use. However,
some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, rod, blue or green) may appear on
the LCD screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing
process,
and do not affect the recording.
• When the battery level becomes
low, the lens might stop moving. Insert a
charged
battery pack and turn on the camera
again.
On camera's
temperature
Your camera
and battery
may get warm due to continuous
use, but it is not a
malfunction.
