Children should not be allowed to have access to the camera. They could injure themselves with inappropriate use of the camera or by becoming entangled in the carrying strap. If a child swallows a camera battery, get the child medical attention.
Subjecting the camera to water or any other liquid, or allowing condensation to form, may start a fire or give the user an electrical shock.
•If liquid gets inside the camera, turn the camera power off by removing the battery or unplugging the power cord (with dry hands).
•Allowing the camera to slowly adjust to temperature changes (as in transferring the unit from outdoors to indoors) will help to prevent condensation. Let any condensation evaporate before using the camera.
Exposing the camera to too much heat may warp the camera casing or damage the batteries.
Battery damage may result in fire, burns or electrical shock.
Another source of possible burns is heat from the flash or camera itself.
•Touching the flash after it has been used extensively can cause burns.
•The camera body itself may burn your hands if the camera has been operated for a lengthy period of time.
Do not drop batteries or let them be banged around. This could damage the casings, causing the batteries to leak.
•If the internal parts or components of the battery come into contact with your eyes or your mouth, flush the affected site with water and get medical help.
