When transporting the camera from a cold place to a warm place or in the event of a sudden temperature change, put the camera into a plastic bag. This allows the camera's

temperature to change slowly. Once the camera has

adjusted to the new temperature, you can remove it from the

bag and use it.

Keep your hair, hands, strap, etc. away from the autofocus window, lens, AE sensor and flash.

Avoid leaving the camera unused for long periods of time. This can cause mold to grow on the camera as well as other

problems. Try to press the shutter release button and check the operation of camera before use.

Some airport X-ray machines can damage the film in your camera. Try to avoid passing your camera through these machines. Give to the security officer for manual inspection.

This camera is controlled by a microcomputer. Problems with the microcomputer can affect or stop camera operation. If

this happens, remove the batteries, then reload them and try

the camera again. Strong electrical fields can also interfere

with the operation of this camera so try to avoid places or objects that generate such fields.

This camera is not suitable for professional use or for use

under severe conditions.
