About the Battery Charger and AC Adapter  
Warning  
For Using Your Camera Safely  
We have paid close attention to the safety of this camera. When using this  
camera, we request your special attention regarding items marked with the  
following symbols.  
Always use the battery charger and AC adapter exclusively developed  
for this camera, with the specified power and voltage. Using a battery  
charger or AC adapter not exclusive to this camera, or using the  
exclusive battery charger or AC adapter with an unspecified power or  
voltage can cause a fire, electric shock, or camera breakdown. The  
specified voltage is 100 - 240V AC.  
Do not disassemble or modify the product. This can cause a fire or  
electrical shock.  
If the generation of smoke or strange odor from the product or other  
abnormality occurs, immediately discontinue using and consult your  
nearest service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electrical  
shock.  
If water should happen to get inside the product, consult your nearest  
service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electrical shock.  
If you see a lightning flash or hear thunder during use of the battery  
charger or AC adapter, unplug the power plug and discontinue use.  
Continued use can cause damage to the product, fire or electrical shock.  
Wipe off the power plug if it should become covered with dust.  
Accumulated dust may cause a fire.  
To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL certified power supply  
cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper,  
one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified  
NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female  
connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration) or  
the equivalent.  
This symbol indicates that ignoring this item could  
cause serious personal injuries.  
Warning  
This symbol indicates that ignoring this item could  
cause minor or medium personal injuries, or loss  
Caution  
of property.  
About the Camera  
Warning  
Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are  
present inside the camera, with the risk of electric shock.  
If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging  
the camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is a risk of electric  
shock.  
Do not aim the camera at the sun or other strong light sources when  
taking pictures or leave the camera sitting in direct sunlight with the lens  
cap off. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction or cause a fire.  
Do not look at the sun or other strong light sources through the lens.  
Doing so may lead to a loss of eyesight or cause vision to be impaired.  
If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor,  
stop use immediately, remove the battery or the AC adapter, and contact  
your nearest service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electrical  
shock.  
6
Caution  
Do not place or drop heavy objects on or forcefully bend the AC plug  
cord. Doing so may damage the cord. Should the AC plug cord be  
damaged, consult your nearest service center.  
Do not touch or short-circuit the terminal area of the AC plug cord while  
the cord is plugged in.  
Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric  
shock.  
Do not drop the product, or subject it to violent impact. This can cause  
the product to breakdown.  
Do not use the battery charger D-BC90 to charge batteries other than  
the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI90. Attempting to charge other  
types of batteries may cause an explosion or heating, or may damage  
the battery charger.  
Caution  
Do not place your finger over the flash when discharging the flash. You  
may burn yourself.  
Do not cover the flash with clothing when discharging the flash.  
Discoloration may occur.  
Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is a risk of low  
temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.  
Should the monitor be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be  
careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes  
or mouth.  
Depending on your individual factors or physical condition, the use of the  
camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any  
abnormality, stop using the camera and get medical attention  
immediately.

About the Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery  
Warning  
Care to be Taken During Handling  
If any leakage from the battery should come in contact with your eyes,  
do not rub them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical  
attention immediately.  
Before Using Your Camera  
When traveling, take the Worldwide Service Network listing that is  
included in the package. This will be useful if you experience problems  
abroad.  
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 (memory cards), etc.  
Caution  
Only use the specified battery with this camera. Use of other batteries  
may cause an explosion or fire.  
Do not disassemble the battery. Disassembling the battery may cause  
an explosion or leakage.  
Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or  
begins to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.  
Keep wires, hairpins, and other metal objects away from the + and -  
contacts of the battery.  
Do not short the battery or dispose of the battery in fire. This can cause  
an explosion or fire.  
If any leakage from the battery should come in contact with skin or  
clothing, it may cause irritation to the skin.  
Wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.  
Precautions for D-LI90 Battery Usage:  
USE SPECIFIED CHARGER ONLY.  
- RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS.  
About the Battery and Charger  
To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully  
charged state or 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 life.  
Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is  
recommended.  
6
- DO NOT INCINERATE.  
- DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.  
- DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT.  
The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for  
the battery charger D-BC90. Do not use it with other devices.  
- DO NOT EXPOSE TO HIGH TEMP. (140°F / 60°C)  
- SEE MANUAL.  
Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera  
Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not  
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.  
Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use  
a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles,  
automobiles, or ships.  
Keep the Camera and its Accessories out of the  
Reach of Small Children  
Warning  
The temperature range for camera use is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).  
The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to  
normal at normal temperatures.  
The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due  
to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.  
Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and  
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag,  
and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings are  
equalized.  
Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt.  
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry  
off any rain or water drops.  
Do not press the monitor with excessive force. This could cause it to  
break or malfunction.  
Do not place the camera and its accessories within the reach of small  
children.  
1. If the product falls or is operated accidentally, it may cause serious  
personal injuries.  
2. Wrapping the strap around a neck may cause suffocation.  
3. To avoid the risk of a small accessory such as the battery or memory  
cards from being swallowed by mistake, keep them out of the reach  
of small children. Seek medical attention immediately if an accessory  
is accidentally swallowed.

Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using  
a tripod.  
2. the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical  
interference.  
3. the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.  
4. the SD Memory Card or the battery is removed while the card is being  
accessed.  
If the SD Memory Card is not used for a long time, the data on the card  
may become unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of  
important data on a computer.  
Cleaning Your Camera
