Cautions
z Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic objects, such as key
holders. It could lead to overheating, burns and other injuries.
z
Before you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to
prevent direct contact with other objects. Contact with the metallic components of
other materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions.
z
Use only recommended batteries and accessories. Use of batteries not expressly
recommended for this equipment may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury
and damage to the surroundings.
z
Use the specified battery charger to charge Battery Pack NB-2LH. Use of other
chargers may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire or electrical shock.
z
Disconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter from both the camera
and the power outlet after recharging and when they are not in use to avoid fire
and other hazards. Continuous use over a long period may cause a unit to overheat
and distort, resulting in fire.
z
The camera terminal of the battery charger and separately sold compact power
adapter are designed for exclusive use with your camera. Do not use it with other
products or batteries. There is a risk of fire and other hazards.
z
Keep the camera terminal of the battery charger clean, and do not place any
metallic objects on it. There is a risk of fire and other hazards.
z
Exercise due caution when screwing on the separately sold wide converter, tele-
converter and conversion lens adapter. If they come loose, they may fall from the
lens adapter, posing risk of injury from shattered glass.
Caution about magnetic fields
Keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as credit cards) away from the
speaker of the camera (p. 12). Such items may lose data or stop working.
z
Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight
or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Exposure to
intense sunlight and heat may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting
in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the
casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the battery charger to charge
the batteries.
z
Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas could
lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
