Care to be Taken During Handling  
Before Starting Use  
When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly,  
particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or when traveling).  
Contents of the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your  
data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording  
media (SD Memory Card), etc.  
The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.  
About the Battery and Power Adapter  
Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance. Avoid storing it  
especially in high temperatures.  
If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will  
over-discharge and shorten the battery’s service life.  
Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.  
The power adapter supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with this camera. Do not  
use it with any other equipment.

Cautions when Carrying and Using the Camera  
Do not use or store the camera in a hot environment or under direct sunlight.  
Hot and humid places should be avoided. Particular care should be taken regarding  
vehicles, which can become very hot inside.  
The temperature range in which the camera can be used is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).  
The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal at  
normal temperatures.  
The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low temperatures. This is  
due to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a malfunction.  
If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on the  
inside and outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag and  
take the camera out when the difference in temperature has subsided.  
Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salts. These could  
cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops.  
Please do not press forcefully on the display. This could cause it to break or malfunction.  
When using a tripod with the camera, be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod  
socket on the camera.

camera, as the card may be hot.  
Keep the battery/card cover closed and do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn the  
camera off while the data is being played back or saved to the card, or the camera is  
connected to a computer with the USB cable, as this may cause the data to be lost or the  
card to be damaged.

Shutter Adjustment  
The ISO function allows you to set the  
sensitivity of the camera's light sensor  
based on the brightness of the scene. To  
improve the camera's sensor performance in  
darker environments, a higher ISO value is  
required. A lower ISO value is needed when  
shooting in brighter conditions.  
For shutter speed, the camera may  
automatically set the aperture value  
corresponding to the manually set shutter  
speed so as to obtain a most suitable  
exposure value. The movement of object  
may be shown by adjusting the shutter  
speed. High shutter speed can make you  
clearly capture the movement of fast moving  
object while low shutter speed can allow you  
to take a picture for fact moving object with  
a strong sense of movement. (Adjustable in

Pictures taken at higher ISO settings will  
generally have more noise than those taken  
at lower ISO settings. (Adjustable in

Supported HDMI Connections  
HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface),

enters Playback Mode.

Warranty Policy  
All our cameras purchased through authorized bona fide photographic distribution channels  
are guaranteed against defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve months  
from the date of your purchase. Service will be rendered, and defective parts will be replaced  
without cost to you within that period, provided the camera does not show evidence of impact,  
sand or liquid damage, mishandling, tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation  
contrary to operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair shop. The  
manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall not be liable for any repair or alterations  
except those made with its written consent and shall not be liable for damages from delay or  
loss of use or from other indirect or consequential damages of any kind, whether caused by  
defective material or workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the liability of  
the manufacturer or its representatives under all guarantees or warranties, whether expressed  
or implied, is strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore provided. No refunds

Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period  
Any camera which proves defective during the 12-month warranty period should be returned  
to the dealer from whom you purchased the camera or to the manufacturer. If there are no  
representatives of the manufacturer in your country, send the camera to the manufacturer,  
with postage prepaid. In this case, it will take a considerable length of time before the camera  
can be returned to you owing to the complicated customs procedures required. If the camera  
is covered by warranty, repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the  
camera will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If the camera is not covered by  
warranty, regular charges of the manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping  
charges are to be borne by the owner. If your camera was purchased outside of the country  
where you wish to have it serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and servicing  
fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s representatives in that country. Notwithstanding  
this, your camera returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of charge according to  
this procedure and warranty policy. In any case, however, shipping charges and customs  
clearance fees to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase when required,  
please keep the receipt or bills covering the purchase of your camera for at least a year.  
Before sending your camera for servicing, please make sure that you are sending it to the  
manufacturer’s authorized representatives or their approved repair shops, unless you are  
sending it directly to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service charge, and  
only after you accept the quoted service charge, instruct the service station to proceed with  
the servicing.  
This warranty policy does not affect the customer’s statutory rights.  
The local warranty policies available from our distributors in some countries can supersede this  
warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend that you review the warranty card supplied with your  
product at the time of purchase, or contact our distributor in your country for more information  
and to receive a copy of the warranty policy.

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment and Used  
Batteries  
1. In the European Union  
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or accompanying documents mean  
that used electrical and electronic equipment and batteries should not be mixed with  
general household waste.  
Used electrical/electronic equipment and batteries must be treated separately and in  
accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling of  
these products.  
By disposing of these products correctly you will help ensure that the waste  
undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential  
negative effects on the environment and human health which could otherwise arise  
due to inappropriate waste handling.  
If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol shown above, in accordance with the  
Battery Directive, this indicates that a heavy metal (Hg = Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead)  
is present in the battery at a concentration above an applicable threshold specified in the  
Battery Directive.  
For more information about collection and recycling of used products, please contact your  
local authorities, your waste disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased the  
products.  
2. In other countries outside the EU  
These symbols are only valid in the European Union. If you wish to discard used products,  
please contact your local authorities or dealer and ask for the correct method of disposal.  
For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned free of charge to the  
dealer, even when you don’t purchase a new product. Further collection facilities are listed on  
the home page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.
