• Remove and store the battery pack/batteries when you are
not using the camera.
If the battery pack or batteries are left inside the camera, damage
caused by leakage may occur.
• Before you discard the battery pack/batteries, cover the
terminals with tape or other insulators.
Contacting other metal materials may lead to fire or explosions.
• If your camera is used with a battery charger, keep the
charger unplugged when not in use. When charging the
battery pack, do not leave it covered with a cloth or put
other objects on it.
Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it
to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.
• Do not leave the battery pack near pets.
Pets biting the battery pack could cause leakage, overheating or
explosion, resulting in fire or damage.
• If your camera uses multiple batteries, do not use batteries
that have different levels of charge together, do not use old
and new batteries together, and do not insert the batteries
with the + and – terminals reversed.
This may cause the product to malfunction.
• Do not sit down with the camera in your pocket.
Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the screen.
• When putting the camera in your bag, ensure that hard
objects do not come into contact with the screen. Also close
the screen (so that it faces the camera body), if your camera
has a screen that closes.
