12. Others When using in a cold climate or at low temperatures • It may cause injury to the skin if you directly touch the metal parts of the unit in places where temperature is very low (environments under 0 oC (32 oF), such as ski resorts or places at high altitude) for a long period of time. Use gloves or similar when using it for long periods.
12. Others Removing dirt on the image sensor The image sensor is very precise and delicate, so be sure to observe the following when you do have to clean it yourself. • Blow off the dust on the surface of the image sensor with a commercially available blower brush. Be careful not to blow too strongly. • Do not put the blower brush further inside than the lens mount. • Do not let the blower brush touch the image sensor as the image sensor may get scratched.
12. Others Battery The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery. Its ability to generate power comes from the chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This reaction is susceptible to the surrounding temperature and humidity. If the temperature is too high or too low, the operating time of the battery will become shorter. Always remove the battery after use. • Place the removed battery in a plastic bag, and store or keep away from metallic objects (clips, etc.).
12. Others About the Charger/AC adaptor (supplied) • The [CHARGE] indicator may blink under the influence of static electricity or electromagnetic wave. This phenomenon has no effects on charging. • If you use the battery charger near a radio, the radio reception may be disturbed.
