Safety Information
Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and understand the safety
precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.
Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or other intense light sources which could
damage your eyesight.
Do not try to open the case of the camera or attempt to modify this camera in any
way. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed.

children. Eye damage may result. In particular, remain at least one meter away from
infants when using flash.

hands. Never use the camera in the rain or snow. Moisture creates the danger of fire
and electric shock.

prevent accidents or damage to the camera.
If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the camera, turn the power off
immediately and unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet. Take the camera to

on your own.
