FOR PROPER AND SAFE USE

WARNING

Immediately remove the batteries and discontinue use if the camera is dropped or subjected to an impact in which the interior, especially the flash unit, is exposed. The flash has a high voltage circuit which may cause an electric shock resulting in injury. The continued use of a damaged product or part may cause injuries.

Keep batteries or small parts that could be swallowed away from infants. Contact a doctor immediately if an object is swallowed.

Store this product out of reach of children. Be careful when around children, not to harm them with the product or parts.

Do not fire the flash directly into the eyes. It may damage eyesight.

Do not fire the flash at vehicle operators. It may cause a distraction or temporary blindness which may lead to an accident.

Do not look at the sun or strong light sources directly through the viewfinder or lens. It may damage your eyesight or cause blindness.

Do not use the product near inflammable gases or liquids such as gasoline, benzine, or paint thinner. Do not use inflammable products such as alcohol, benzine, or paint thinner to clean the product. The use of inflammable cleaners and solvents may cause an explosion or fire.

If the product emits a strange odor, heat, or smoke, discontinue use. Immediately remove the batteries taking care not to burn yourself. The continued use of a damaged product or part may cause injuries.

Take the product to a Minolta Service Facility when repairs are required.

CAUTION

Do not point the product directly at the sun. If sunlight is focused on an inflammable surface, a fire may result. Replace the lens cap when the product is not in use.

Do not use or store the product in a hot or humid environment such as the glove compartment or trunk of a car. It may damage the product and batteries which may result in burns or injuries caused by heat, fire, explosion, or leaking battery fluid.

If batteries are leaking, discontinue use of the product.

Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with people or objects. The flash unit discharges a large amount of energy which may cause burns.

Do not apply pressure to the data panel. A damaged panel may cause injury, and the liquid from the panel may cause inflammation. If liquid from the panel makes contact with skin wash the area with fresh water. If liquid from the panel comes in contact with the eyes, immediately rinse the eyes with plenty of water and contact a doctor.
