zDo not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic objects, such as key holders. It could lead to overheating, burns and other injuries.

zBefore you discard a battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators to prevent direct contact with other objects. Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions.

zUse only recommended batteries and accessories. Use of batteries not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings.

zUse the specified battery charger to charge Battery Pack NB-2LH. Use of other chargers may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire or electrical shock.

zDisconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter from both the camera and the power outlet after recharging and when they are not in use to avoid fire and other hazards. Continuous use over a long period may cause a unit to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.

zThe camera terminal of the battery charger and separately sold compact power adapter are designed for exclusive use with your camera. Do not use it with other products or batteries. There is a risk of fire and other hazards.

zKeep the camera terminal of the battery charger clean, and do not place any metallic objects on it. There is a risk of fire and other hazards.

zExercise due caution when screwing on the separately sold wide converter, tele- converter and conversion lens adapter. If they come loose, they may fall from the lens adapter, posing risk of injury from shattered glass.

Caution about magnetic fields

Keep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as credit cards) away from the speaker of the camera (p. 12). Such items may lose data or stop working.

Cautions

zAvoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car. Exposure to intense sunlight and heat may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the battery charger to charge the batteries.

zDo not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
