Using a DVD Burner to Copy Files
from the Camera
Supported discs: 12cm DVD-R, DVD-RW

• Regarding DVD-R discs, only unused DVDR discs can be used. Regarding DVD-RW
discs, used DVD-RW discs can also be
used, but they need to be formatted before
recording. Formatting a disc deletes all
content recorded on the disc up until that
time.
• Dual-layer discs cannot be used.
Regarding finalisation after copying
The disc is automatically finalised so that
it can be played on other devices. After
finalising, the disc is a play-only disc, so no
more files can be added.
NOTE

When using the optional DVD Burner, read its
instructions.

Cautions
Battery Packs
The supplied battery
Terminals
pack is a lithium-ion
battery. Before using
the supplied battery
pack or an optional
battery pack, be sure
to read the following
cautions:
To avoid hazards
... do not burn.
... do not short-circuit the terminals. Keep it away
from metallic objects when not in use. When
transporting, make sure the provided battery
cap is attached to the battery. If the battery
cap is misplaced, carry the battery in a plastic
bag.
... do not modify or disassemble.
... do not expose the battery to temperatures
exceeding 60°C, as this may cause the battery
to overheat, explode or catch fire.
... use only specified chargers.
To prevent damage and prolong service life
... do not subject to unnecessary shock.
... charge within the temperature range of
10°C to 35°C. This is a chemical reaction
type battery — cooler temperatures impede
chemical reaction, while warmer temperatures
can prevent complete charging.
... store in a cool, dry place. Extended exposure
to high temperatures will increase natural
discharge and shorten service life.
... fully charge and then fully discharge the
battery every 6 months when storing the
battery pack over a long period time.
... remove from charger or powered unit when
not in use, as some machines use current
even when switched off.
