Safety instructions

•If the camera shows any sign of malfunction, do not try to re- pair it yourself. Your first step should be to change the battery. If this is unsuccessful, return the camera to your specialist dealer or to another photographic specialist.

•Please ensure that you are fully conversant with the operation and functions of your new camera before using it for special occasions (holidays, weddings etc.). Please read this instruc- tion manual and take some test pictures to ensure that your camera functions perfectly before you use it at special events.

•If your camera (or battery) emits a strange smell, heat, or smoke, remove the battery immediately, taking care not to burn yourself.

•The same applies if there are significant “rattling” sounds.

•If your camera is dropped or subjected to an impact in which the interior is exposed, do not touch the exposed parts. Some of these parts have a voltage of 200 V!

•Remove the battery immediately if the camera is dropped in water or if water gets into the interior of the camera.

•Never store your camera where the temperature is extremely high or extremely low.

•When it is not in use, you should always turn the camera off (using the ON/OFF switch, 7) in order to retract the lens. En- sure that the lens cover is closed.
