Cautions for Use
∫Optimal use of the camera
Take care not to drop or knock the unit 
or put a lot of pressure on it.
Take care not to knock or drop the bag/
case that you inserted the camera in as 
the shock may cause damage to the 
camera, lens or LCD monitor.
Do not use a paper bag as it can easily rip 
causing the camera to fall and be 
damaged.
We strongly recommend you purchase a 
good camera bag/case from your local 
dealer to protect your camera.

Removing dirt on the image sensor
Black spots may appear on the recorded 
picture if dirt or dust gets on the image 
sensor. The image sensor is very delicate 
and easily scratched. If it becomes 
necessary to clean the image sensor, 
always use the following steps.
 Use a sufficiently charged battery (P18) or 
the AC adaptor (P128) when cleaning. If 
you use the battery and the remaining 
battery power becomes low during 
cleaning, the shutter will close and the 
shutter curtains and...

∫Battery
The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion 
battery.
Its ability to generate power comes from 
the chemical reaction that takes place 
inside it. This reaction is susceptible to 
the surrounding temperature and 
humidity. If the temperature is too high 
or too low, the operating time of the 
battery will become shorter.
After use, be sure to remove the battery.
Bring charged spare batteries when 
going out.
 Be aware that the operating time of the 
battery becomes shorter in low...

 When storing the battery for a long period 
of time, we recommend charging it once a 
year. Remove the battery from the camera 
and store it again after it has completely 
discharged.
 We recommend storing the camera with a 
desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a 
closet or a cabinet.
 Check all the parts before taking 
pictures when you have not used the 
camera for a long period of time.

6: The recorded picture is blurred. The 
optical image stabilizer is not 
effective.
The shutter speed will become slower 
and the optical image stabilizer function 
may not work properly when taking 
pictures especially in dark places. In 
this case, we recommend holding the 
camera firmly with both hands when 
taking pictures (P35, 54). We 
recommend using a tripod and the 
self-timer (P74) when taking pictures 
with a slow shutter speed.
7: The recorded picture looks rough.
