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.
Never operate the camera inside of an aircraft or anywhere else where operation of such devices is
restricted. Improper use creates the risk of serious accident.
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. 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 for young children. Eye
damage may result. In particular, remain at least one meter away from infants when using 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 fire and 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 and
unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet. 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.
Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens. Doing so can scratch the lens
surface and cause malfunction.
The camera may become slightly warm during use. This does not indicate malfunction.
If the exterior of the camera needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
