they may cause deformation, discoloration, or paint peeling.
cautions when cleaning the lens
if the lens gets dirty, use a commercially available air blower or a cleaning cloth for photographic equipment to clean it.
it is also possible to clean the viewfinder (see page 166).
cautions concerning the battery pack terminals
periodically clean with a dry cloth the terminals of the battery pack, digital disk camera, and ac adapter/charger.
do not touch the terminals with your bare hands. doing so will allow contaminants from your hands to adhere to the terminals and oxidize, increasing the contact resistance. if the contact resistance increases, the usable life of the battery pack will diminish and recharging may become impossible.
cautions when not using the digital disk camera
attach the lens cap whenever you are not using the digital disk camera.
when not using the digital disk camera for a long period
remove the battery pack. however, when the battery pack is removed for a long time, the digital disk camera functions may begin to not work properly. periodically reinstall the battery pack and check the digital disk camera functions.
if the battery pack is left in the digital disk camera, a small amount of power is still used even if the digital disk camera is turned off. if the battery pack is left in the digital disk camera for a long period, it may become completely discharged and loose its ability to be recharged again.

using the digital disk camera with condensation inside it may damage the digital disk camera.
be careful of condensation under the following conditions
1?when moving the digital disk camera suddenly from a cold place to a warm place.
2?when the ambient temperature changes drastically, such as when a heater is turned on to quickly heat the room.
3?when the digital disk camera is placed in the path of cool air from an air conditioner.
4?when the digital disk camera is placed in a location of high humidity.
if condensation seems likely to form
place the digital disk camera in a plastic bag and seal it, and then wait until the digital disk camera has reached the ambient temperature.
cautions concerning undesired interference
the digital disk camera or ac adapter/charger may create undesired interference if used close to a television or radio. to reduce the amount of undesired interference emitted, cores are attached to the supplied av cable and the dc cord of the ac adapter/charger. do not remove these cores. also, when using the supplied microphone or ieee1394 cable, attach one of the supplied cores as shown below.

cautions concerning magnetism
do not place credit cards, bankcards, floppy disks, or other items that may be damaged by magnetic fields near the speaker. data may be lost or the magnetic strips on cards may be damaged.

cautions concerning the id photo disk
the id photo disk is provided for use with devices displaying the id photo logo mark for the storage and playback of image data. do not use with devices that do not display the id photo logo mark for doing so may cause damage to the device and the disk.
the id photo disk is a precision device. do not bend, drop, or subject it to strong forces or shocks.
do not open the shutter and touch the id photo disk inside.
immediately after use, the id photo disk may be very hot. before removing the id photo disk, turn off the digital disk camera and wait until the disk cools.
keep out of the reach of children. children may put the disk in their mouths or perform some other unforeseeable action.
