Safety Precautions

•Before using the camera, please ensure that you have read and understood the safety precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.

•The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and equipment.

•In the next few pages, the term “equipment” refers primarily to the camera and its power supply accessories.

WARNINGS

•Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources that could injure your eyesight.

•Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash may injure eyesight. In particular, remain at least 39 inches (one meter) away from infants when using the flash.

•Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the camera or batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition, placement of the wrist strap around the child’s neck could result in asphyxiation.

•Be particularly careful to keep the button batteries (CR2016 lithium) used in the camera out of the reach of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a battery.
