zRemove the power cord on a regular periodic basis and wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet and the surrounding area. In dusty, humid or greasy environments, the dust that collects around the plug over long periods of time may become saturated with humidity and short-circuit, leading to fire.

zDo not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord. Any of these actions may cause an electrical short circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical shock.

zDo not handle the power cord if your hands are wet. Handling it with wet hands may lead to electrical shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the solid portion of the plug. Pulling on the flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires or electrical shocks.

zUse only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not expressly recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards.

zDo not place the Battery near a heat source or expose them to direct flame or heat. Neither should you immerse them in water. Such exposure may damage the Battery and lead to the leakage of corrosive liquids, fire, electrical shock, explosion or serious injury.

zDo not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the Battery. There is serious risk of injury due to an explosion. Immediately flush with water any area of the body, including the eyes and mouth, or clothing that comes into contact with the inner contents of a battery. If the eyes or mouth contact these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.

zAvoid dropping or subjecting the Battery to severe impacts that could damage the casings. It could lead to leakage and injury.

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 explosion. Discard the Battery in specialized waste facilities if available in you area.

zPlease use the designated battery pack and battery charger. Use of another charger may cause the battery to rupture or leak, posing a risk of fire, injury, and damage to the surroundings.

zDisconnect the battery charger or the compact power adapter from both the camera and power outlet after recharging and when the camera is not in use to avoid fires and other hazards.

zThe camera terminal of the separately sold compact power adapter is designed for exclusive use with your camera. Do not use it with other products or battery. 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 loosen, fall off and shatter, the glass shards may cause an injury.

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.
