Do not use the flash or LED light close to a person’s eyes

To prevent possible eye injury, do not use the flash or LED light near a person’s eyes.

CAUTION

Cautions when carrying the camera

Do not walk around with the camera suspended from your neck or dangling from your wrist. It may hit other objects and get damaged. When walking around with the camera, secure it with your hand, for example, to prevent it from swinging around.

Be careful not to drop the camera or subject it to strong shocks.

If the camera is not going to be used for a long period of time

For safety’s sake, remove the battery from the camera. This will prevent any possible excess heat or leakage of battery fluid that may result in injuries or damage to nearby objects.
