•The camera terminal of the supplied compact power cord is 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.

•Exercise due caution when screwing on the separately sold wide converter lens, tele- converter lens, close-up lens and conversion lens adapter. If they loosen, fall off and shatter, the glass shards may cause an injury. Never aim the lenses at the sun or strong light sources. There is a risk of damage to eyesight.

CAUTIONS

•Avoid 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 compact power adapter to charge the battery pack or power the camera.

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

•Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.

•Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers when shooting. In addition, do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Either action could result in burns.

•If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm. Please take care when operating the camera for extended periods as your hands may experience a burning sensation.

Preventing Malfunctions

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields

Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

Avoid Condensation Related Problems

Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.

If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera

Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the CF card and battery or Compact Power Adapter CA-560 (if connected) from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
