CAUTION

kCautions when carrying the camera

i Do not walk around with the camera suspended from

your neck. It may hit other objects and get damaged. When walking around, hold the camera in your hand or place it in a pocket.

i Be careful not to drop the camera or subject it to strong shocks.

i Make sure direct sunlight does not hit the camera lens, as that may damage the internal parts. When not using the camera, be sure to always turn it off and close the lens cover.

kIf the camera is not going to be used for a long

period of time

i For safety's sake, remove the battery pack from the camera. This will prevent any possible excess heat or leakage of battery fluid that may result in injuries or damage to nearby objects. (Note that when the battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings will be cleared.)
