Precautions
• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or other intense light sources which could

may result. Please remain at least one meter away from infants when using flash.

•
accidents or damage to the camera.
If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the camera, turn the power off
immediately. Take the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair. Never
