Precautions

•Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or other intense light sources which could damage your eyesight.

•Do not try to open the case of the camera or attempt to modify this camera in any way. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed. Maintenance and repairs should be carried out only by authorized service providers.

•Do not press the flash too close to the eyes of animals or young children. Eye damage may result. Please remain at least one meter away from infants when using flash.

•Keep the camera away from water and other liquids. Do not use the camera with wet hands. Never use the camera in the rain or snow. Moisture creates internal danger and may cause electric shock.

•Keep the camera and its accessories out of the reach of children and animals to prevent accidents or damage to the camera.

•If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the camera, turn the power off immediately. Take the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair. Never attempt to repair the camera on your own.

•Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards.
