Notes on handling the product
• Do not leave the lens exposed to a strong light source such as sunlight. Because of the
lens’s condensing function, doing so may cause smoke, fire, or a malfunction inside the
camera body or the lens. If you have to leave the camera exposed to a light source such
as sunlight, attach the lens cap to the lens.
• If sunlight or other strong light enters the camera through the lens, it may focus inside
the camera and cause smoke or fire. Attach the lens cap when storing the camera. When
shooting with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently far away from the angle of view.
Even if it is slightly away from the angle of view, smoke or fire may still occur.
• Do not look at sunlight or a strong light source through the lens when it is detached. This
may result in unrecoverable damage to the eyes or cause a malfunction.
• This camera (including accessories) has magnet(s) which may interfere with pacemakers,
programmable shunt valves for hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical devices.
Do not place this camera close to persons who use such medical devices. Consult your
doctor before using this camera if you use any such medical device.
• Increase the volume gradually. Sudden loud noises can damage your ears. Be especially
careful when listening to headphones.
• Do not leave the camera, the supplied accessories, or memory cards within the reach of
infants. They may be accidentally swallowed. If this occurs, consult a doctor immediately.
• If the monitor is damaged, stop using the camera immediately. The damaged parts may
harm your hands, face, etc.
