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

Eye damage may result. In particular, keep at least one meter away from infants when

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
attempt to repair the camera on your own.
