Safety precautions

Handle and store your camera carefully and sensibly

•Do not allow your camera to get wet—liquids can cause serious damage. Do not handle your camera with wet hands. Water damage to your camera can void your manufacturer’s warranty.

•Do not expose the camera to direct sunlight or high temperatures for an extended period of time. Prolonged exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures can cause permanent damage to your camera’s internal components.

•Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, humid, or poorly-ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and internal components.

•Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an extended period of time. Installed batteries may leak or corrode over time and cause serious damage to your camera.

•Protect your camera from sand and dirt when using it on beaches or in other similar areas.

•Protect your camera from impact, rough handling, and excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.

•Exercise caution when connecting cables or adapters and installing batteries and memory cards. Forcing the connectors, improperly connecting cables, or improperly installing batteries and memory cards can damage ports, connectors, and accessories.

•Do not insert foreign objects into any of your camera’s compartments, slots, or access points. Damage due to improper use may not be covered by your warranty.

•Do not swing your camera by the strap. This may cause injury to yourself or others.

•Do not paint your camera, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation.

•Paint or metal on the outside of the camera may cause allergies, itchy skin, eczema, or swelling for people with sensitive skin. If you have experience any of these symptoms, stop using the camera immediately and consult a doctor.

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage

•Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0º C/32º F or above 40º C/104º F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your batteries and can cause memory cards to malfunction.

•Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage. Also, this may cause a fire or electric shock.

•Prevent memory cards from making contact with liquids, dirt, or foreign substances. If dirty, wipe the memory card clean with a soft cloth before inserting in your camera.

•Do not allow liquids, dirts, or foreign substances to come in contact with the memory card slot. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction.
