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 compact power adapter to power the camera.

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

zBe 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.

zBe careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing when shooting. The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. In addition, do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Either action could result in burns.

zDo not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to its lens. The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.

zEnsure that the battery charger or compact power adapter is plugged into a power outlet of the specified rating, not over the specified rating. The plug of the battery charger varies according to region.

zDo not use the battery charger or compact power adapter if the cable or plug is damaged, or if the plug is not fully inserted into the power outlet.

zDo not allow metal objects (such as pins or keys) or dirt to contact the charger terminals or plug.

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