Observe the safety advice and manuals of third party suppliers.

The Sinar Hy6 system is a hybrid instrument that can be operated with a digital camera back or a film magazine. When using this camera with component parts and accessories of third party suppliers, please observe the safety advice contained in the manuals supplied with these component parts. No liability will be accepted by the manufacturer for injuries or damages resulting from the non- observance of the safety information contained in the manuals of third party suppliers.

Observe the legal regulations for taking and using photographic images. Make sure to use the camera only in accordance with the laws effective in your country (e.g. copyright, intellectual property right). Images that are not taken for private use only must not be used without permission. In some cases, the capturing of images can also be restricted if these images are intended for private use.

Test the camera before first use.

Before you start to operate your camera for the first time, take some test photographs to check whether the camera works flawlessly, and whether the photographs are recorded on your film or digital storage medium and can be read from there by your computer. The manufacturer will not accept any liability for the loss of images or any other inconvenience.

We also recommend testing the camera functions always before taking photographs at special events (e.g. weddings) to prevent any inconvenience caused by a loss of images.
