Please be sure to read this manual before use.

• Test shooting

Be sure to take some test shots before taking important pictures (such as business or weddings) to make sure that the camera is working properly.

• Results are not guaranteed

In the unlikely event that a problem arises in shooting or reproducing pictures due to the camera or memory card used, please understand that no compensation can be made.

• Be aware of Copyright

Any pictures that you take of existing images may be used for personal use only. Copyright law prohibits the use of pictures without the permission of the rightful owner. Also, please note that some occasions of the performing arts, demonstrations and exhibitions may restrict photography even for the purpose of personal enjoyment.

Caution for Extended Camera Use:

The camera body may become hot when used for a long period of time, but it doesn’t mean that the camera is broken. However, if the camera keeps touching the skin for a long time, this may cause a cryogenic burn. Please be careful with it.
