1. Camera Precaution

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 be resulted. 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. 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 to avoid scratches on the lens

surface or any 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.

• If there is leaking, discoloration, change of shape,

rise in temperature, damaged exterior, strange odor

or any other abnormal condition, immediately

discontinue use and remove the battery pack from

the camera, taking care to keep it well away from

fire.
