●Interference may occur in recorded or played back images when the camera is used in areas subject to strong electromagnetic interference (e.g., near a television set or stereo speakers).

●Do not direct the camera lens directly toward the sun when shooting, since the CCD element may be damaged.

●Dropping the camera may cause damage to internal parts even though the camera may appear superficially undamaged. Always take the camera to a Kyocera/Yashica Service Center for inspection if it is dropped.

●Do not attempt to touch the insides of the memory card slot, since damage or malfunction may result.

Microcomputer Protection Circuit:

This camera incorporates a safety circuit to protect its microcomputer against strong external static electricity. Though rarely, it may fail to function because this safety circuit has come into action.

In this case, turn off the camera’s power, remove the batteries, reload them and use the camera again.

For best performance, we recommend the use of genuine Kyocera accessories. Kyocera is not responsible for any accidents or damage caused by the use of accessories made by other manufacturers or fashioned by the user.

Photographs taken of professional performances, exhibitions, displays, or copyrighted materials may be used only for your own personal enjoyment, and only with the consent of the copyright holders. Other use may constitute violation of applicable copyright laws. Be aware that some performances, exhibitions, or displays may impose restrictions on photographic or other recording even when the purpose of such recordings are personal enjoyment.

Test Photos and Warranties

Make it a practice to take test shots before beginning any important photography session, in order to confirm that images are being recorded properly. Kyocera will not be held responsible for failure of photographs to be recorded or transmitted to a computer as the result of any defects in recording media (Memory Cards).

<Storing the Camera>

●Store the camera in a well-ventilated location, avoiding damp or dusty areas, drawers

	or boxes containing mothballs, or in laboratories or other locations where chemicals
CAUTION	are handled. Exposure to such chemical fumes can result in damage to the camera's
	circuitry, resulting in short circuits and causing the camera to emit smoke or catch fire.

●Do not place the camera in places that may be exposed to high temperatures for extended periods of time (the beach in summer, a closed car under bright sun, etc.). Such high temperatures may cause adverse affects or damage to the camera, batteries, or memory cards.

●Remove the batteries before storing the camera for extended periods of time, to prevent battery leakage and resulting damage.

<LCD Monitor>

●Strongly rubbing or pressing against the LCD monitor screen can cause damage or other malfunctions. If dirt or dust adheres to the surface, use a blower brush to remove the dirt. In the event of severe soiling, wipe gently with a soft cloth or chamois.

	In addition, never use organic solvent such as benzin or thinner.
	● If the LCD monitor should become broken, take precautions to prevent personal injury
CAUTION	from glass fragments.
	● If the LCD monitor breaks and its liquid contacts your skin, quickly wipe away any
	remaining liquid and wash the skin with soap and water. If the liquid should enter the
	eyes, wash with clean running water for at least 15 minutes, then seek medical
	attention immediately.

●Due to the innate characteristics of LCD panels, a few pixels may appear permanently lighted or may not light at all. This is not a malfunction, and does not affect the recorded image in any way.

●The LCD monitor may appear difficult to see in some outdoor lighting situations.
