Firing the fl ash too close to the subject’s eyes could cause a momentary
loss of vision.
• Keep young children and infants away from the camera.
• Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and
infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause
serious injury:
• Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation.
