A K-mount lens can be attached to this camera with the use
of the optional Adapter Q for K Mount Lens. When a K-mount
lens is used, the focal length must be set manually for some
functions such as Shake Reduction, since the focal length
cannot be obtained automatically.
• When the Adapter Q for K Mount Lens is used, the camera
operates in J mode when the capture mode is set to other
than L mode.
• Refer to the Adapter Q for K mount lens manual for details.

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 using.
Continued use can cause damage to the product, fire or electrical shock.
Wipe off the power plug if it should become covered with dust.

Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera
•
•
•
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.
Cleaning Your Camera
•
•
•
•
Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol,
and benzine.
Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on the lens. Never use
a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
Please contact your nearest service center for professional cleaning
of the CMOS sensor. (This will involve a fee.)
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.
Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years
to maintain high performance.
The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively
for the battery charger D-BC68P. Do not use it with other devices.
Storing Your Camera
•
Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high
temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated
place.
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.
•
•
Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static
electricity or electrical interference.
Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where
it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
•
•
The temperature range for camera use is 0°C to 40°C (32°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.
