About the Camera
Warning
• Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are
present inside the camera, with the risk of electric shock.
• If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging
the camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is a risk of electric
shock.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other strong light sources when
taking pictures or leave the camera sitting in direct sunlight with a lens
cap off. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction or cause a fire.
• Do not look at the sun or other strong light sources through a lens. Doing
so may lead to a loss of eyesight or cause vision to be impaired.
• If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor,
stop using the camera immediately, remove the battery or the AC
adapter, and contact your nearest service center. Continued use can
cause a fire or electric shock.

Caution
• Do not place your finger over the flash when discharging the flash. You
may burn yourself.
• Do not cover the flash with clothing when discharging the flash.
Discoloration may occur.
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is a risk of low
temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.

• Should the monitor be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be
careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes
or mouth.
• Depending on your individual factors or physical condition, the use of the
camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any
abnormality, stop using the camera and get medical attention
immediately.

About the Battery Charger and AC Adapter
Warning
• Always use the battery charger and AC adapter exclusively developed
for this camera, with the specified power and voltage. Using a battery
charger or AC adapter not exclusive to this camera, or using the
exclusive battery charger or AC adapter with an unspecified power or
voltage can cause a fire, electric shock, or camera breakdown. The
specified voltage is 100 - 240V AC.
• Do not disassemble or modify the product. This can cause a fire or
electric shock.
• If the generation of smoke or strange odor from the product or other
abnormality occurs, immediately discontinue using and consult your
nearest service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric shock.
• If water should happen to get inside the product, consult your nearest
service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric shock.
• If you see a lightning flash or hear thunder during use of the battery
charger or AC adapter, unplug the power plug and discontinue using.
Continued use can cause damage to the product, fire or electric shock.
• Wipe off the power plug if it should become covered with dust.
Accumulated dust may cause a fire.
• To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL certified power supply
cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper,
one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified
NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female

damaged, consult your nearest service center.

• Do not touch or short-circuit the terminal area of the AC plug cord while
the cord is plugged in.
• Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric
shock.
• Do not drop the product, or subject it to violent impact. This can cause
the product to breakdown.

Care to be Taken During Handling
Before Using Your Camera
• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still
working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as
at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be
guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to a
computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or
recording media (memory cards), etc.

About the Battery and Charger
• To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully
charged state or in high temperatures.
• If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time,
the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
• Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
• The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for
the battery charger D-BC109. Do not use it with other devices.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera
• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use
a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles,
automobiles, or ships.
• The temperature range for camera use is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return to
normal at normal temperatures.
• The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due
to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.

• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag,
and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings are
equalized.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry
off any rain or water drops immediately.
• Do not attach or remove a lens when there are any rain or water drops
on the camera. If water enters the camera or the lens, a malfunction may
occur.
• Do not press on the monitor with excessive force. This could cause it to
break or malfunction.
• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using
a tripod.

Cleaning Your Camera
• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol,
and benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on a lens. Never use a
spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
• Please contact your nearest service center for professional cleaning of
the CMOS sensor. (This will involve a fee.)
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to
maintain high performance.

Storing Your Camera
• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high
temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera.
Remove the camera from its case and store it in a dry and well-ventilated
place.
• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static
electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where
it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.

59

About SD Memory Cards
• The SD Memory Card is
equipped with a write-protect
switch. Setting the switch to
LOCK prevents new data from
being recorded on the card, the
stored data from being deleted,
and the card from being
Write-protect
formatted by the camera or
switch
computer.
• The SD Memory Card may be
hot when removing the card immediately after using the camera.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card or turn off the power while the card
is being accessed. This may cause the data to be lost or the card to be
damaged.
• Do not bend the SD Memory Card or subject it to violent impact. Keep it
away from water and store away from high temperatures.
• Do not remove the SD Memory Card while formatting. The card may be
damaged and become unusable.
• Data on the SD Memory Card may be deleted in the following
circumstances. We do not accept any liability for data that is deleted if
1. the SD Memory Card is mishandled by the user.
2. the SD Memory Card is exposed to static electricity or electrical
interference.
3. the SD Memory Card has not been used for a long time.
4. the SD Memory Card or the battery is removed while the card is being
accessed.
• If the SD Memory Card is not used for a long time, the data on the card
may become unreadable. Be sure to regularly make a backup of
important data on a computer.
• Format new SD Memory Cards. Also format SD Memory Cards
previously used with other cameras.
• Please note that deleting data stored on an SD Memory Card, or
formatting an SD Memory Card does not completely erase the original
data. Deleted data can sometimes be recovered using commercially
available software. If you are going to discard, give away or sell your SD
Memory Card, you should ensure that the data on the card is completely
deleted or the card itself is destroyed if it contains any personal or
sensitive information.
• The data on your SD Memory Card should be managed at your own risk.

60

About the Wireless LAN Function
• Do not use the camera in a place where electrical products, AV/OA
devices, and so on generate magnetic fields and electromagnetic
waves.
• If the camera is affected by magnetic fields and electromagnetic waves,
it may not be able to communicate.
• If the camera is used near a TV or a radio, poor reception or TV screen
glitch may occur.
• If there are multiple wireless LAN access points near the camera and the
same channel is used, search operation may not be executed correctly.
• The security of your data stored, sent or received is your own
responsibility.
In the frequency band used by the camera, along with industrial,
scientific, and medical devices such as microwave ovens, premises
radio stations (wireless stations requiring license) and specified low
power radio stations (wireless stations not requiring license) for
mobile object identification used in factory production lines, etc., and
amateur radio stations (wireless stations requiring license) are
operated.
1. Before using the camera, confirm that premises radio stations
and specified low power radio stations for mobile object
identification and amateur radio stations are not operated in the
vicinity.
2. In the event that the camera causes harmful radio wave
interference to premises radio stations for mobile object
identification, immediately change the frequency being used to
avoid interference.
3. If you have other troubles such that the camera causes harmful
radio wave interference to specified low power radio stations for
mobile object identification or to amateur radio stations, contact
your nearest service center.
This camera conforms to the technical standards under the Radio Law and
Telecommunications Business Law and the certification of conformance to
technical standards can be displayed on the monitor.
The certification marks of conformance to wireless technical standards
under the Radio Law and Telecommunications Business Law can be
displayed from [Certification Marks] of the D5 menu. Refer to “Using the
Menus” (p.14) for how to use the menus.

WARRANTY POLICY
All our cameras purchased through authorized bona fide
photographic distribution channels are guaranteed against
defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve
months from the date of your purchase. Service will be
rendered, and defective parts will be replaced without cost to
you within that period, provided the camera does not show
evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage, mishandling,
tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to
operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair
shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall
not be liable for any repair or alterations except those made with
its written consent and shall not be liable for damages from
delay or loss of use or from other indirect or consequential
damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or
workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the
liability of the manufacturer or its representatives under all
guarantees or warranties, whether expressed or implied, is
strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore
provided. No refunds will be made on repairs by non-authorized
service facilities.
Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period
Any camera which proves defective during the 12-month
warranty period should be returned to the dealer from whom you
purchased the camera or to the manufacturer. If there are no
representatives of the manufacturer in your country, send the
camera to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case,
it will take a considerable length of time before the camera can
be returned to you owing to the complicated customs
procedures required. If the camera is covered by warranty,
repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the

camera will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If
the camera is not covered by warranty, regular charges of the
manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping
charges are to be borne by the owner. If your camera was
purchased outside of the country where you wish to have it
serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and
servicing fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s
representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your
camera returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of
charge according to this procedure and warranty policy. In any
case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance fees
to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase
when required, please keep the receipt or bills covering the
purchase of your camera for at least a year. Before sending
your camera for servicing, please make sure that you are
sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized representatives or
their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly
to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service
charge, and only after you accept the quoted service charge,
instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing.
• This warranty policy does not affect the customer’s
statutory rights.
• The local warranty policies available from our
distributors in some countries can supersede this
warranty policy. Therefore, we recommend that you
review the warranty card supplied with your product at
the time of purchase, or contact our distributor in your
country for more information and to receive a copy of
the warranty policy.

For customers in Canada
Industry Canada (IC) Compliance Notice

Pour les utilisateurs au Canada
Industrie Canada (IC) Avis de Conformité

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES003 (B).

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme
NMB-003 (B) du Canada.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada
applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.
L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :
(1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et
(2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage
radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en
compromettre le fonctionnement.

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. The K-70 has been
tested and found to comply with IC radiation exposure limits set
forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the
IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

Les connaissances scientifiques dont nous disposons n’ont mis
en évidence aucun problème de santé associé à l’usage des
appareils sans fil à faible puissance. Nous ne sommes
cependant pas en mesure de prouver que ces appareils sans fil
à faible puissance sont entièrement sans danger. Les appareils
sans fil à faible puissance émettent une énergie fréquence
radioélectrique (RF) très faible dans le spectre des micro-ondes
lorsqu’ils sont utilisés. Alors qu’une dose élevée de RF peut
avoir des effets sur la santé (en chauffant les tissus),
l’exposition à de faibles RF qui ne produisent pas de chaleur n’a
pas de mauvais effets connus sur la santé. De nombreuses
études ont été menées sur les expositions aux RF faibles et
n’ont découvert aucun effet biologique. Certaines études ont
suggéré qu’il pouvait y avoir certains effets biologiques, mais
ces résultats n’ont pas été confirmés par des recherches
supplémentaires. Le K-70 a été testé et jugé conforme aux
limites d’exposition aux rayonnements IC énoncées pour un
environnement non contrôlé et respecte les règles d’exposition
aux fréquences radioélectriques (RF) CNR-102 de l’IC.

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old
Equipment and Used Batteries
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/
or accompanying documents mean that used
electrical and electronic equipment and batteries
should not be mixed with general household
waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipment and
batteries must be treated separately and in
accordance with legislation that requires proper
treatment, recovery and recycling of these
products.
By disposing of these products correctly you will
help ensure that the waste undergoes the
necessary treatment, recovery and recycling
and thus prevent potential negative effects on
the environment and human health which could
otherwise arise due to inappropriate waste
handling.
If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol shown
above, in accordance with the Battery Directive, this indicates
that a heavy metal (Hg = Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead)
is present in the battery at a concentration above an applicable
threshold specified in the Battery Directive.
For more information about collection and recycling of used
products, please contact your local authorities, your waste
disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased the
