Handling Precautions

<Precautions for Operating the Camera>

●If camera or batteries become hot, emit smoke or a burning smell, or display other abnormal symptoms, remove them from the camera immediately to prevent fire. When handling the batteries, take precautions to avoid being burned.

●Never attempt to disassemble or modify the camera, since you may receive a severe electric shock.

● Do not operate the electronic flash at close proximity to a person's eyes (especially

those of an infant), since eye damage may result.

WARNING ● Do not look through the camera directly at the sun or other strong light source, since your eyesight may be damaged.

●Do not attempt to take pictures while driving or walking, particularly when looking through the viewfinder or at the LCD monitor, since you may cause an accident.

●When taking pictures, remain aware of your surroundings and what is happening around you.

●Clean the camera well after using it at the beach or other locations subject to large concentrations of sand or dust. Salt air may promote corrosion of metal components and damage or short circuits in electronic parts, causing the camera to emit smoke or catch fire. Sand inside the camera may result in internal damage and operating malfunctions.

●If the camera is brought quickly from a cold place to a warm room, condensation may

	form on the lens and internal parts. Such condensation may result in damage or short
CAUTION	circuits in electronic parts, causing the camera to emit smoke or catch fire. Whenever
	possible, avoid subjecting the camera to sudden changes in temperature, and if
	condensation occurs, turn off the camera power quickly and leave it off until all
	condensation is gone.

●This camera is a precision electronic instrument, and should be protected from impacts and falls that might cause damage to internal parts or the shorting of circuitry.

●When taking the camera overseas or using it to record important events, check its operating condition and take test pictures beforehand to confirm proper operation.

●This camera is not designed to be waterproof, and cannot be used in the rain or under water. If the camera should inadvertently be exposed to water, it should be taken quickly to a Kyocera/Yashica Service Center for inspection.

●Fingerprints or smudges on the camera’s lens or light sensors may adversely affect the precision of the camera. If soiling occurs, use a piece of clean chamois or commercially available lens tissue to gently wipe away the smudge. Do not apply excessive pressure or touch the lens with any rough material. An air blower or lens brush may be used to remove loose dust or dirt from the lens.

●Clean the camera body by wiping with soft cloth. Never use benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents or cleansers, since such substances will damage the body materials.

●Do not remove the Memory Cards while the card access LED is flashing.
