PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING THE BATTERIES

• To prevent leakage, fire, or damage, please read the instruc-
tions carefully and observe the following points.
• Do not heat or throw the batteries into the fire.
• Do not disassemble, modify or solder.
• Do not install with inverted polarity ((+), (-) signs).
• Do not let metal objects touch the contacts. Do not store or
carry loosely with necklaces or hairpins.
• Do not use old batteries together with new ones, and do not
use different types of batteries at the same time.
• Do not store them in humid places as they may corrode.
• Do not use if there is leaking, swelling, rise in temperature,
or any other abnormal condition.
• When using them for the first time, if there are signs of cor-
rosion or if they are warm, please take them back to where
they were bought.
• When disposing of old batteries, be sure to do so in accor-
dance with all regulations applicable in your area.
• Never use a battery if its seal (insulating coating) is partially
or entirely peeled off or its exterior is torn. The battery could
leak, generating heat or causing an explosion.
If there is a leak
• If the liquid gets into your eyes, do not rub them. Rinse with
clean water, then seek medical attention immediately.
• If the liquid gets in contact with the skin or clothing, rinse
with clean water.
• If the liquid has leaked inside the battery compartment,
please clean it carefully with a wet rag before inserting new
batteries.
When the batteries are dead, take them out of the camera
• If old batteries are left inside the cameras, they may leak. If
stored for a long period of time or if you intend not to use
the camera for a long period of time, please remove the bat-
teries.
Do not use in an airtight device
• This may cause leaking and damage the batteries and/or
camera.
Do not recharge alkaline batteries
• These batteries are not rechargeable. If you try to recharge
them, it may cause leaks and damage.
Do not use or store in a hot place (e.g. inside closed car
on a hot and sunny day)
• This may shorten the service life they provide. Store in a dry
cool place protected from direct sunlight.
Keep out of children's reach
• Make sure children do not take the batteries out when using
the camera. If a child is going to use the camera, be sure to
teach the child proper usage according to this manual.
NOTES ON DISPLAY AND BACKLIGHT
The fluorescent lamps used in the Control Panel and LCD
monitor have a limited service life. If they begin to darken or
flicker, contact your nearest service center.
In cold conditions, the display backlight may be slow to come
on or may change color suddenly. To avoid this, keep the
camera warm when using in cold temperatures. Backlight
performance will return to normal under normal temperature
conditions.
When the color LCD monitor shows different pictures, some
pixels may not change color and remain on or off. This phe-
nomenon may be due to a lag in some circuits, but is consid-
ered to be within the normal operating tolerances of the LCD
monitor. In addition, the brightness of the color LCD monitor
may vary from picture.
