Precautions 
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 point 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. 
Maintenance and repairs should be carried out only by authorized service providers. 
•  Do not fire the flash too close to the eyes of animals or people, especially young children. 
Eye damage may result. In particular, keep at least one meter away from infants when 
using the flash. 
•  Keep the camera away from water and other liquids. Do not use the camera with wet 
hands. Never use the camera in the rain or snow. Moisture creates the danger of electric 
shock. 
•  Keep the camera and its accessories out of the reach of children and animals to prevent 
• 
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. 
•  Use  only  the  recommended  power  accessories.  Use  of  power  sources  not  expressly 
recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, 
fire, electrical shock or other hazards.
