Handling the Camera
~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
and
infants
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.
• Do
not
insert
anything
into
the
microSD
Attachment
other
than
the
microSD
card.
This attachment is exclusive for use
of
microSD
cards only. Other types
of
cards cannot be
installed.
• Do
not
insert
anything
other
than an xD-Picture
Card
or
the
microSD
Attachment
into
the
camera
If you insert a card by mistake, such as a microSD
card, do not use force. Contact authorized
distributors/service centers. Damages such as
scratches on the attachment or card could result
in
the camera overheating and/or malfunctioning.
~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.
• 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 or AC adapter 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.
• Do
not
touch
the
metallic
parts
of
the
camera
for
a
long
period
of
time
at
low
temperatures.
• This may damage your skin. At low
temperatures, handle the camera while wearing
gloves.
