suspend shooting and charge the battery or ready a spare battery.
• If the message [Shutter release disabled. Recharge battery.] is
displayed, charge or exchange the battery.
D The Standby Timer
The camera uses a standby timer to help reduce the drain on the
battery. If no operations are performed for about 30 seconds, the
standby timer will expire and the monitor, viewfinder, and control
panel will turn off. A few seconds prior to turning off, the monitor and
viewfinder will dim. They can be reactivated by pressing the shutter-
release button halfway. The length of time before the standby timer
expires automatically can be selected using Custom Setting c3 [Power
off delay] > [Standby timer].

En_01

• When you turn the camera on, the shooting display will show the
number of photographs that can be taken at current settings.
• Values over 1000 are rounded down to the nearest hundred. For
example, values between 1500 and 1599 are shown as 1.5 k.
Tip: The Write Protect Switch
• SD memory cards are equipped with a write-protect switch. Sliding
the switch to the “lock” position write-protects the card, protecting
the data it contains.
• A “– – –” indicator and a [Card] warning appear in the shooting
display when a write-protected card is inserted.
• If you attempt to release the shutter while a write-protected card is
inserted, a warning will be displayed and no picture will be recorded.
Unlock the memory card before attempting to take or delete
pictures.
Tip: Slot Icons
The location of the current picture is shown
by an icon at the bottom left corner of the
playback display.

camera on (or activate the standby timer) and confirm that the
battery is charged.
Tip: Optional EH‑7P Charging AC Adapters: Charging
The battery can also be charged using an optional EH-7P charging AC
adapter. After confirming that the camera is off, connect the adapter
to the camera via USB and plug it in. The battery will charge while the
camera is off. Keep the plug straight during insertion and removal.
Tip: Powering the Camera
If [ON] is selected for [USB power delivery] in the setup menu when
the camera is connected to an EH-8P or EH-7P, power will be supplied
to the camera when the camera is on.

Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
Cautions: Using the Camera
•
Do Not Drop
Do not drop the camera or lens or subject them to blows. The product
may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.
•
Keep Dry
Keep the camera dry. Rusting of the internal mechanism caused by
water inside the camera can not only be expensive to repair but can in
fact cause irreparable damage.
•
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Taking the camera from a warm to a cold environment or vice versa
may cause damaging condensation inside and outside the camera.
Place the camera in a sealed bag or plastic case before taking it across a
temperature boundary. The camera can be taken from the bag or case
once it has had time to adjust to the new temperature.
•
Keep Away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as
radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, corrupt data stored
on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal circuitry.
•
Keep Credit Cards and Other Such Magnetic Storage Devices
Away from the Camera and Lens
Data stored on the device could be corrupted.
•
Do Not Leave the Lens Pointed at the Sun
Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun or other bright light source.
Intense light may damage the image sensor or cause fading or “burn in”.
Photographs taken with the camera may exhibit a white blur effect.

En_01
51Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
•
Lasers and Other Bright Light Sources
Do not direct lasers or other extremely bright light sources toward the
lens, as this could damage the camera’s image sensor.
•
Cleaning
When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to gently remove dust
and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera
at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly
dampened in fresh water and then dry the camera thoroughly. In rare
instances, static electricity may cause the LCD displays to light up or go
dark; this does not indicate a malfunction. The display will soon return
to normal.
•
Cleaning the Lens and Viewfinder
These glass elements are easily damaged: remove dust and lint with
a blower. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent
the discharge of liquid that could damage glass elements. To remove
fingerprints and other stains from the lens, apply a small amount of lens
cleaner to a soft cloth and wipe the lens carefully.
•
Do Not Touch the Image Sensor
Under no circumstances should you exert
pressure on the image sensor, poke it with
cleaning tools, or subject it to powerful air
currents from a blower. These actions could
scratch or otherwise damage the sensor.
•
The Lens Contacts
Keep the lens contacts clean. Avoid touching them with your fingers.

En_01
52 Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
•
Store in a Well‑Ventilated Area
To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated
area. Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls,
next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, or
where it will be exposed to extremely high temperatures, for example
near a heater or in an enclosed vehicle on a hot day. Failure to observe
these precautions could result in product malfunction.
•
Long‑Term Storage
To prevent damage caused for example by leaking battery fluid,
remove the battery if the product will not be used for an extended
period. Store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do
not, however, store the leather camera case in a plastic bag, as this may
cause the material to deteriorate. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
Note that desiccant gradually loses its capacity to absorb moisture and
should be replaced at regular intervals. To prevent mold or mildew, take
the camera out of storage at least once a month, insert the battery, and
release the shutter a few times.
•
Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the
Power Source
Removing or disconnecting the power source while the camera is
on could damage the product. Particular care should be taken not
to remove or disconnect the power source while pictures are being
recorded or deleted.

En_01
53Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
•
Monitor/Viewfinder
• The monitor and viewfinder are constructed with extremely high
precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than
0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may
contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always
off (black), this is not a malfunction. Pictures recorded with the
device are unaffected. Your understanding is requested.
• Pictures in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
• Do not apply pressure to the monitor. It could malfunction or suffer
damage. Dust or lint can be removed with a blower. Stains can be
removed by wiping the monitor lightly with a soft cloth or chamois
leather. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid
injury from broken glass. Be careful that liquid crystal from the
monitor does not touch the skin or enter the eyes or mouth.
• Should you experience any of the following symptoms while
framing shots in the viewfinder, discontinue use until your condition
improves:
- nausea, eye pain, eye fatigue,
- dizziness, headache, stiffness in your neck or shoulders,
- queasiness or loss of hand-eye coordination, or
- motion sickness.
• The display may rapidly flicker on and off during burst photography.
Watching the flickering display could cause you to feel unwell.
Discontinue use until your condition improves.

En_01
54 Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
•
Bright Lights and Back‑Lit Subjects
Noise in the form of lines may in rare cases appear in pictures that
include bright lights or back-lit subjects.
•
Camera Shooting and Playback Displays
When [HLG] is selected for tone mode, the shooting and playback
displays in the camera monitor and viewfinder may include “noise”
in the form of randomly-spaced bright pixels, fog, or lines or may fail
to accurately reproduce highlights and highly-saturated colors. In
addition, abrupt tone discontinuities may be visible in the camera
monitor or viewfinder when photos are displayed full-frame, although
the photos themselves are unaffected. For accurate tone reproduction,
use monitors, computers, operating systems, applications, and other
equipment compatible with HLG.
D Cautions: Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting pictures or formatting memory cards or other
data storage devices does not completely erase the original image
data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered from discarded storage
devices using commercially available software, potentially resulting in
the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such
data is the user’s responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to
another person, erase all data using commercial deletion software, or
format the device and then completely refill it with pictures containing
no private information (for example, pictures of empty sky). Care should
be taken to avoid injury when physically destroying data storage
devices.
Before discarding the camera or transferring ownership to another
person, you should also use the [Reset all settings] item in the camera
setup menu to delete network settings and other personal information.

En_01
55Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
Cautions: Using Batteries
•
Precautions for Use
• If improperly handled, batteries may rupture or leak, causing the
product to corrode. Observe the following precautions when
handling batteries:
- Turn the product off before replacing the battery.
- Batteries may be hot after extended use.
- Keep the battery terminals clean.
- Use only batteries approved for use in this equipment.
- Do not short or disassemble batteries or expose them to flame or
excessive heat.
- Replace the terminal cover when the battery is not inserted in the
camera or charger.
• If the battery is hot, for example immediately after use, wait for it
to cool before charging. Attempting to charge the battery while its
internal temperature is elevated will impair battery performance, and
the battery may not charge or charge only partially.
• If the battery will not be used for some time, remove it from
the camera and store it in a cool, dry location with an ambient
temperature of 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F). Avoid hot or extremely
cold locations.
• Batteries in long-term storage should be charged to about 50% at
least once a year. Do not charge the battery to 100% before returning
it to storage. A fully-exhausted battery will charge to around 50% in
about half the time needed to charge it to 100%.

En_01
56 Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
• Remove the battery from the camera or charger when not in use. The
camera and charger draw minute amounts of charge even when off
and could draw the battery down to the point that it will no longer
function.
• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or
above 40 °C (104 °F). Failure to observe this precaution could damage
the battery or impair its performance. Charge the battery indoors at
ambient temperatures of 5 °C–35 °C (41 °F–95 °F). The battery will not
charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
• Capacity may be reduced and charging times increase at battery
temperatures from 0 °C (32 °F) to 15 °C (59 °F) and from 45 °C (113 °F)
to 60 °C (140 °F).
• Batteries in general exhibit a drop in capacity at low ambient
temperatures. Even fresh batteries charged at temperatures under
about 5 °C (41 °F) may show a temporary increase from “0” to “1” in
the setup menu [Battery info] age display, but the display will return
to normal once the battery has been recharged at a temperature of
about 20 °C (68 °F) or higher.
• Battery capacity drops at low temperatures. The change in capacity
with temperature is reflected in the camera battery-level display.
As a result, the battery display may show a drop in capacity as the
temperature drops, even if the battery is fully charged.
• Batteries may be hot after use. Observe due caution when removing
batteries from the camera.

En_01
57Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
•
Charge Batteries Before Use
Charge the battery before use. The supplied battery is not fully charged
at shipment.
•
Ready Spare Batteries
Before taking photographs, ready a spare battery and keep it fully
charged. Depending on your location, it may be difficult to purchase
replacement batteries on short notice.
•
Have Fully‑Charged Spare Batteries Ready on Cold Days
Partially-charged batteries may not function on cold days. In cold
weather, charge one battery before use and keep another in a warm
place, ready to be exchanged as necessary. Once warmed, cold
batteries may recover some of their charge.
•
Battery Level
• Turning the camera on or off repeatedly when the battery is fully
discharged will shorten battery life. Batteries that have been fully
discharged must be charged before use.
• A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its
charge when used at room temperature indicates that it requires
replacement. Purchase a new rechargeable battery.
•
Do Not Attempt to Charge Fully‑Charged Batteries
Continuing to charge the battery after it is fully charged can impair
battery performance.
•
Recycling Used Batteries
Recycle rechargeable batteries in accord with local regulations, being
sure to first insulate the terminals with tape.

FCC/ISED RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health
problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is
no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely
safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency
energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high
levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of
low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have
not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that
some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research. This product has been tested and
found to comply with FCC/ISED radiation exposure limits set forth for

• Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless
transmissions to steal user IDs, passwords, and other personal
information.
• Unauthorized access: Unauthorized users may gain access to the
network and alter data or perform other malicious actions. Note that
due to the design of wireless networks, specialized attacks may allow
unauthorized access even when security is enabled.
• Unsecured networks: Connecting to open networks may result in
unauthorized access. Use secure networks only.
