Handling
Pre~.au~iQns
~WARNING
• Do not use the camera near flammable
or
explosive
gases.
•
Do not use the flash and LED
on
people
(infants, small children,
etc.) at
close
range.
You
must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from
the faces
of
your subjects. Firing the flash
too close
to the subject's eyes could
cause
a momentary loss
of
vision.
• Keep young
children,
infants, and
animals
such as pets 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.
• Accidentally
swallowing the battery, cards
or
other
small
parts.
• Accidentally
firing the flash into their own
eyes
or
those
of
another child.
• Accidentally
being injured by the moving
parts
of
the camera.
•
Do not
look
at the sun or strong
lights
with the camera.
• Do not use or store the camera
in
dusty or
humid
places.
•
Do not cover the flash with a hand
while
firing.
~CAUTION
• Stop
using the camera immediately
if
you notice any unusual
odors, noise, or
smoke around
it.
Never remove the batteries with bare hands,
which may cause a fire or burn your hands.
•
Never
hold
or operate the camera with
wet hands.
•
Do not
leave
the camera
in
places
where
it may be subject to
extremely
high
temperatures.
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate
and,
in
some circumstances, cause the
camera to catch fire.
Do not use the charger if it
is
covered (such
as a blanket). This could cause overheating,
resulting
in
fire.
• Handle
the camera with care to avoid
getting a
low-temperature
burn.
When the camera contains metal parts,
overheating can result
in
a low-temperature
burn. Pay attention to the
following:
•
When used for a
long
period, the camera
will
get hot.
If
you hold on to the camera
in
this state, a
low
temperature burn may
be caused.
•
In
places subject to extremely cold
temperatures, the temperature
of
the
camera's body may be lower than the
environmental temperature. If
possible,
wear gloves when handling the camera
in
cold temperatures.
Be
careful
with the strap.
Be careful with the strap when you carry
the camera.
It could
easily catch on stray
objects - and cause serious damage.
