General Precautions

Be sure to observe the following important precautions whenever using the EX-Z3.

All references in this manual to “this camera” and “the camera” refer to the CASIO EX-Z3 Digital Camera.

•Never try to take pictures or use the built-in display while operating a motor vehicle or while walking. Doing so creates the danger of serious accident.

•Never try to open the case of the camera or attempt your own repairs. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed. Always leave maintenance and repair work up to a CASIO authorized service center.

•Never look at the sun or any other bright light through the camera’s viewfinder. Doing so can damage your eyesight.

•Keep the small parts and accessories of this camera out of the reach of small children. If swallowed accidentally, contact your physician immediately.

•Never fire the flash in the direction of a person operating a motor vehicle. Doing so can interfere with the driver’s vision and create the danger of accident.

•Never fire the flash while it is too close to the subject’s eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired too close to the eyes. This is especially true with young children. When using the flash, the camera should be at least one meter (3.3´) from the eyes of the subject.

•Keep the camera away from water and other liquids, and never let it get wet. Moisture creates the danger of fire and electric shock. Never use the camera outdoors in the rain or snow, at the seashore or beach, in the bathroom, etc.

•Should foreign matter or water ever get into the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, remove the camera’s battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. Using the camera under these conditions creates the danger of fire and electric shock.

•Should you ever notice smoke or a strange odor coming out of the camera, immediately turn it off. Next, taking care you do not burn your fingers, remove the camera’s battery and/or unplug the AC adaptor power cord from the power outlet, and contact your dealer or nearest CASIO authorized service center. Using the camera under these conditions creates the danger of fire and electric shock. After making sure there is no more smoke coming from the camera, take it to your nearest CASIO authorized service center for repair. Never attempt your own maintenance.
