Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.

This could lead to injury or damage the camera.

When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or clothing. This could result in burns or damage to the flash.

Avoid using, placing or storing the product in the following places:

-Places subject to strong sunlight

-Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)

These could cause leakage, overheating or an explosion of the batteries, resulting in electrical shock, fire, burns or other injuries.

Caution Denotes the possibility of damage to the equipment.

Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (such as the sun on a clear day). Doing so may damage the image sensor.

When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful not to allow dust or sand to enter the camera.

This may cause the product to malfunction.

In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the flash.

This is due to the high intensity of the flash burning dust and foreign materials stuck to the front of the unit. Please use a cotton swab to remove dirt, dust or other foreign matter from the flash to prevent heat build-up and damage to the unit.

Remove and store the batteries when you are not using the camera.

If the batteries are left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.

Before you discard the batteries, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators.

Contacting other metal materials may lead to fire or explosions.

Do not charge batteries of different types at the same time, or use older batteries together with newer batteries.

Do not insert the batteries with the + and – terminals reversed.

This may cause the product to malfunction.
