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.

Other types of cards cannot be installed on this

microSD Attachment.

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.

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 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.
