Cautions when using memory cards
‡Avoid exposing memory cards to very cold or very hot temperatures (below  
0 °C/32 °F or above 40 °C/104 °F). Extreme temperatures can cause memory cards 
to malfunction.
‡Insert a memory card in the correct direction. Inserting a memory card in the 
wrong direction may damage your camera and memory card.
‡Do not use memory cards that have been formatted by other cameras or by a 
computer. Reformat the memory card with your camera.
‡Turn off the camera before you insert or remove the memory card.
‡Do not remove the memory card or turn off your camera while the lamp is 
blinking, as this may damage your data.
‡When the lifespan of a memory card has expired, you cannot store any more 
photos on the card. Use a new memory card.
‡Do not bend, drop, or subject memory cards to heavy impact or pressure.
‡Avoid using or storing memory cards near strong magnetic fields.
‡Avoid using or keeping memory cards in areas with high temperature, high 
humidity, or corrosive substances.
‡Prevent memory cards from making contact with liquids, dirt, or foreign 
substances. If dirty, wipe the memory card clean with a soft cloth before you 
insert the memory card into your camera.
‡Do not allow liquids, dirt, or foreign substances to come in contact with memory 
cards or the memory card slot. Doing so may cause memory cards or the camera 
to malfunction.
‡When you carry a memory card, use a case to protect the card from electrostatic 
discharges.
‡Transfer important data to other media, such as a hard disk, CD, or DVD.
‡When you use the camera for an extended period, the memory card may become 
warm. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any loss of data.

Low battery message
When the battery has fully discharged, the battery icon will turn red and the  
"Low Battery " message will appear.
Notes about using the battery
‡Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0 °C/32 °F 
or above 40 °C/104 °F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of 
your batteries.
‡When you use the camera for an extended period, the area around the battery 
chamber may become warm. This does not affect the normal use of the camera.
‡Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the power outlet, 
as this may cause a fire or electric shock.
‡In temperatures below 0 °C/32 °F, battery capacity and battery life may decrease.
‡Battery capacity may decrease in low temperatures, but will return to normal in 
milder temperatures.
‡Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an extended period. 
Installed batteries may leak or corrode over time and cause serious damage 
to your camera. Storing the camera for extended periods with the battery 
installed causes the battery to discharge. You may not be able to recharge a fully 
discharged battery.
‡When you do not use the camera for an extended period (3 months or more), 
check the battery and recharge it regularly. If you let the battery discharge 
continually, its capacity and life may decrease, which can lead to a malfunction, 
fire, or explosion.
Cautions about using the battery
Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage.
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can create a 
connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or 
permanent battery damage and may cause a fire or electric shock.
Notes about charging the battery
‡If the status lamp blinks in red, ensure that the battery is inserted correctly.
‡If the camera is on while charging, the battery may not fully charge. Turn off the 
camera before charging the battery.
‡Do not use your camera when you are charging the battery. This may cause a fire 
or electric shock.
‡Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the power outlet, 
as this may cause a fire or electric shock.
‡When the battery is fully discharged, allow it to charge for a while before turning 
the camera on. Let the battery charge for at least 10 minutes before turning on 
the camera.
‡If you connect the camera to an external power source when the battery is 
depleted, using high energy-consuming functions will cause the camera to turn 
off. To use the camera normally, recharge the battery. 
						

							Camera maintenance
Appendixes  153
‡If you reconnect the power cable when the battery is fully charged, the status 
lamp turns on for approximately 30 minutes.
‡Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly. Charge the 
battery until the red status lamp turns off.
‡If the status lamp blinks in red, reconnect the cable, or remove the battery and 
insert it again.
‡If you charge the battery when the cable is overheated or the temperature is too 
high, the status lamp may blink in red. Charging will start when the battery cools 
down.
‡Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is finished, 
disconnect the cable from your camera.
‡Do not bend or place heavy objects on the AC cable. Doing so may damage the 
cable.
Notes about charging with a computer connected
‡Use only the provided USB cable.
‡The battery may not charge when:

-you use a USB hub

-other USB devices are connected to your computer

-you connect the cable to the port on the front side of your computer

-the USB port of your computer does not support the power output standard  
(5 V, 500 mA)
  Handle and dispose of batteries and chargers with care
‡Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations when you dispose 
of used batteries.
‡Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices, such as microwave 
ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when they are overheated.
