CARE AND STORAGE HANDLING Ⅲ This camera is built with precision electric parts. To avoid malfunctioons or mechanical problems, do not use or store the camera in the following places: • Places exposed to direct sunlight (a beach in summer, for example). • Places exposed to excessive heat, humidity, or extreme variations of temperature and humidity. • Places exposed to sand or dust. • Near a fire. • Near any volatile materials. • Near a heater, cooler, or humidifier. • Places exposed to excessive moisture. • Places exposed to vibrations. • Inside a car. • Near magnetic field. Ⅲ Do not shake or shock the camera. Ⅲ Do not leave the camera with its lens pointing towards direct sunlight. This will damage the lens. Ⅲ Do not leave the camera unused for a long period of time. This may cause battery leakage. In addition this can lead to problems including the growth of mold in the camera. Before using the camera, press the shutter release button to check operation. Ⅲ Do not turn the camera when it is mounted on a tripod. Ⅲ Do not touch any of the camera's internal parts. Ⅲ Do not use the flash for extended periods as this can cause the flash to become excessively hot. Do not touch the flash when it @ is hot. BATTERY HANDLING Ⅲ This camera uses four AA alkaline batteries. AA NiCd batteries or AA nickel hydrocloride batteries or AA lithium batteries can also be used, but the battery check function will not function correctly. Ⅲ Do not use 3 V manganese batteries. Besides shortening battery life, manganese batteries may overheat and damage the camera. Ⅲ Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use of batteries can cause fluid leak, heat generation, or other damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to load them correctly. Ⅲ The batteries may be temporarily disabled when exposed to cold temperatures. Try to keep the camera and batteries warm when using the camera in a cold environment. Batteries that are weak in cold temperatures will be restored under normal temperatures. Ⅲ Sweat, oil, and so on, can prevent a battery's terminals from making electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals before loading battery. Ⅲ Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad. Ⅲ When you use NiCd batteries and nickel hydrocloride batteries, make sure they have all been fully charged in the same battery charger. Ⅲ Use NiCd batteries and nickel hydrocloride batteries only after having carefully read the instructions accompanying them.
