SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Camera notes:  
Battery notes:  
Incorrect use of the batteries may cause them to  
leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the  
precautions given below.  
Do not store or use the camera in the following types of  
locations:  
• In the rain, very humid and dusty places.  
• Do not expose the batteries to water, and take  
particular care to keep the terminals dry.  
• In a place where the camera can be exposed directly  
to the sunlight or subject to high temperature, e.g.  
Inside a closed car in summer.  
• Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.  
• Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the  
batteries.  
• In a place where the camera is subject to a high  
magnetic field, e.g. near motors, transformers or  
magnets.  
• Use GE charger in the package to charge the lithium  
battery only (for E and J series).  
Do not place the camera on a wet surface or places  
where dripping water or sand may come in contact with  
the camera, which may cause irrepairable faults.  
Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small children.  
In cold locations, battery performance deteriorates and  
the time for which they can be used shortens markedly.  
If the camera will not be used for a long period of time, we  
suggest you remove the battery and the memory card.  
Memory card notes:  
If you carry the camera suddenly from a cold location  
to a warm place, moisture may condense inside the  
camera. We suggest you wait for a while before turing  
on the camera.  
When using a new memory card, or a memory card has  
been initialized by a PC, be sure to format the card with  
your digital camera before using it.  
To edit image data, copy the image data to the PC's hard  
disk and then format memory card if upgrade the firmware.  
No compensation for loss of recordings. Loss of record-  
ings cannot be compensated for if a malfunction of your  
camera or recording media, etc, makes the playback of  
recordings not possible.  
Do not change or delete the directory names, or file  
names in the memory card from your PC, as this may  
make it impossible to use the card in your camera.

About the LCD screen  
When you turn the camera on, various icons are shown  
on the LCD screen to indicate the current camera set-  
tings and status. To learn more about the displayed  
icons, see “LCD Screen display” on page 34.  
If the LCD monitor is damaged, take particular  
care with the liquid crystal in the monitor. If any  
of the following situations arise, take the urgent  
action indicated.  
•
•
•
If liquid crystal comes in contact with your skin, wipe  
the area with a cloth and then wash thoroughly with  
soap and running water.  
LCD Screen notes:  
Extremely high-precision technology had been used to  
manufacture the LCD screen so that most of the pixels  
are operational for use. However, there may be some  
minute points (black, white, red, blue or green) that  
constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are  
normal in the manufacturing process and the recording  
is not affected in any way.  
If liquid crystal gets into your eye, flush the affected  
eye with clean water for at least 15 minutes and  
then seek medical assistance.  
If liquid crystal is swallowed, flush your mouth  
thoroughly with water. Drink large quantities of  
water and induce vomiting. Then seek medical  
assistance.
