Handling the Camera
WARNING
( Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases.
( Do not use the flash 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.
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.
