• Do not take photographs while moving. In particular, do not move |
while looking through the viewfinder. Use in such situations may |
result in a fault in the camera. |
• Do not pay excessive attention to the subject at the expense of |
your surroundings during photography. |
• Do not leave the camera within reach of infants or children. Take |
<Storing the camera>
•Leaving the camera in a warm place (e.g. at the beach during the summer, in direct sunlight inside a vehicle) for a long period of time will result in deterioration of the film and batteries, having a negative effect on the camera.
•If the camera is to be left unused for a long period of time, remove the batteries to guard against damage from fluid leakage.
Warning
particular attention when using the camera near infants or chil- |
dren, and do not leave it unattended. Infants and children do not |
understand the safety warnings and cautions, and this may result |
in the following. |
• The camera dropping or falling, with consequent injury. |
• The camera strap being wrapped around the neck, resulting in |
suffocation. |
Caution
•Avoid storing the camera in humid and dusty locations, wardrobes containing insecticide, or laboratories containing chemicals. Storage under these conditions may result in damage to, and
<Cautions for handling batteries>
<Notes on the Shutter Curtain>
The shutter curtain is made of very thin material. Never push it with a finger, or touch or wipe it. When changing film, take care to ensure that the film tip does not touch the shutter curtain. When using an air blower, ensure that only a gentle jet of air is used. If the jet is too strong it may damage or deform the curtain. Never use a pressurized blower.
<Microcomputer Protective Circuit>
This camera incorporates a safety circuit to protect its microcomputer again strong external static electricity. Operation of the circuit may prevent operation of the camera in rare cases. In this case, set the main switch to OFF, remove and reload the batteries, and continue using the camera.
<Photography using infrared film>
•Battery performance generally deteriorates as temperature is reduced. In cold areas, the camera should be placed under thermal protective covering, or inside the clothing, before and after use. Batteries which have deteriorated due to
•Contamination of the + and - terminals of the batteries with sweat and oils may prevent good contact. Always wipe the terminals thoroughly with a dry cloth before using the bat- teries.
•Always take new, spare batteries on long trips etc.
•The camera will not operate if the battery contacts do not match those in the battery com- partment.
Caution | • Do not touch the battery terminals with conductive metal objects |
(e.g. tweezers). This will reduce the life of the batteries, and may | |
| result in a |

The characteristics of this camera prevent the use of infrared film for photography.
Warning
•Adhere strictly to the following requirements. Failure to do so may result in damage to the batteries, fire, injury or contamina-
tion of the immediate surroundings.
Use only the specified batteries in the camera.
Do not throw batteries in the fire,
Do not mix new and used batteries, batteries from different manufacturers, or different types of batteries, in the camera.
CR2 batteries (3V lithium batteries) must not be charged under any circumstances.
•When disposing of batteries, insulate the terminals by covering with tape etc. to prevent contact with other metal objects which may result in splitting of the batteries, or fire.
•Store batteries out of reach of children. Contact a doctor immedi- ately if a battery is swallowed. Swallowing may result in a leak in the battery, causing damage to the stomach and intestines.
