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.
