Some general comments about photography
Taking test pictures
Before taking pictures of a unique event it is sensible to take some test pictures first.
This is to make sure that the camera is working properly.
No damages can be claimed for a picture which is not satisfactory.
No damages can be claimed for unsatisfactory pictures caused by faulty working of
your camera or software etc.
Exchanging picture data
No guarantees are given that pictures made with this camera can be reproduced on
other apparatus, or that pictures made with other apparatus can be reproduced on
this camera.
Sunlight
Do not point the camera at the sun for long periods as this can damage the sensor.
Knocking / shaking
Do not shake the camera or knock it against something. This may cause a fault,
unsuccessful photographs, memory incompatibility or the loss of photographs from
the memory.
LCD display
Small black or bright spots can sometimes be seen on a LCD display. This is a
normal occurrence and has no influence on the quality of the image recorded by the
camera. When there are no more than 10 of these spots it is not necessary to
exchange the camera.
Exposing the LCD display to sunlight for a long time can cause defects.
Lens
Keep the glass of the lens clean. Use a cotton wool stick to clean the lens. If
necessary, use special cleaning fluid for camera lenses. Do not use any other
cleaning materials.
