Caution

Clean the camera thoroughly after use at the beach or in dusty areas. Salt spray may corrode metal components, and may result in damage to, and short-circuit of, electronic components, with the possibility of smoke or fire. The presence of sand in the mechanism of the camera will cause problems in operation.

The lens may fog-up if the camera is moved immediately from a cold area into a warm room. The condensation on the lens will disappear after a few minutes, however if this process is repeat- ed water droplets will form in the lens and camera body, and may result in damage to, and short-circuit of, electronic compo- nents, with the possibility of smoke or fire. Avoid moving the camera suddenly between areas of differing temperature.

Do not place the camera in direct sunlight. The focusing effect of the lens on nearby objects may result in damage or fire. Always fit the lens cap, and store out of direct sunlight.

The camera contains precision electronic equipment. Damage to the electronic circuits may result in smoke or fire and consequent damage to the mechanism, and care should be taken to avoid dropping the camera or subjecting it to physical shocks.

Check operation of the camera, or take test photographs before using it for important occasions such as overseas trips or weddings. Always carry spare batteries.

Warning

If the batteries becomes overheated the camera may emit smoke or a burning smell. In this case, remove the batteries immediate- ly to prevent fire or burns (take care to avoid burns when remov- ing the batteries).

Do not use the camera in locations where it will be in direct con- tact with water or in locations with a high moisture content, and do not use the camera with wet hands. Use under such condi- tions may result in electric shock, short-circuit of electronic com- ponents, overheating, smoke, fire, or corrosion. (Note that it is particularly important to be careful when using the camera in rain, snow, or at the beach.)

Do not use the camera in the vicinity of inflammable gases. Use in such situations may result in fire.

Do not disassemble or modify the camera. The camera employs high voltage, and modification may result in electric shock.

The camera contains high-voltage circuits. If it has been dropped, care must be taken not to touch the internal mecha- nism as this may result in electric shock.

During flash photography, ensure that the flash is not close to the human eye (particularly the eyes of infants). Use of the flash near the eyes may result in vision disorders.

Do not look directly at the sun or a strong light source through the camera. Such use may result in vision disorders.
