Before using the camera11r After using the camera recorder, either remove the battery or disconnect the AC cablefrom the power outlet.r Battery characteristicsThe battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It produces electrical energy via an internal chemicalreaction. This chemical reaction is easily influenced by the surrounding temperature and humidity, so theeffective usage time of the battery is reduced when the surrounding temperature is hot or cold. When usedin extremely low temperature environments, the effective usage time is approximately five minutes.When the battery is in an extremely hot environment, its protective function will operate and the camerarecorder cannot be used temporarily.r After using the camera recorder, be sure to remove the battery.Be sure to remove the battery from the camera recorder. (If the battery is left in the camera recorder, it willcontinue to consume a small amount of electric current even when the power is turned off)If the battery is left inside the camera recorder for a long time, it will over discharge and may becomeunusable even if it is recharged.Do not remove the battery when the power is turned on.Turn off the power and remove the battery after the operation lamp goes completely out.r Take proper care of the battery terminal.Do not allow dust or foreign objects on the battery terminal.Also, if you drop the battery by mistake, make sure that the battery body and the terminal are not warped.Inserting a deformed battery into the camera recorder or attaching it to the battery charger may causedamages on the camera recorder or battery charger.r Cautions when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to othersFormatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the camera or a computer will merelychange the file management information: it will not completely erase the data on the cards. When throwingthese cards away or transferring them to others, either physically destroy them or use a data deletionprogram for computers (commercially available) to completely erase the data. Users are responsible formanaging the data stored in their memory cards.r LCD monitor and viewfinderf If the same image or letters are allowed to be displayed on the LCD monitor for a long time, the imagemay be burned into the screen. It will return to normal after leaving the camera recorder turned off forseveral hours.f Condensation sometimes forms on the LCD panel of the LCD monitor in locations subject to extremetemperature differences. If this happens, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.f If the camera recorder is very cold, the LCD monitor will be slightly darker than normal immediatelyafter the power is turned on. The screen will return to its regular brightness when the temperature insideincreases.f Since the viewfinder of the camera uses organic EL, if the same image or letters are allowed to bedisplayed for a long time, the image may be burned into the screen. There is no problem with therecorded images.Switch the screen by turning off the screen or by using the eye sensor, etc.f The LCD monitor and viewfinder (organic EL) are highly-precisely managed so that at least 99.99% ofthe dots are effective pixels and 0.01% or less are invalid pixels and always lit. This is not a malfunctionand it has no effect whatsoever on the recorded images.r Do not point the eye piece of the lens and viewfinder at the sun.Doing so might damage the components inside.
