Handling the Camera WARNING

Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases.

Do not use the flash and LED on people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range.

You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects. Firing the flash too close to the subject’s eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision.

Keep young children and infants away from the camera.

Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause serious injury:

Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation.

Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts.

Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of another child.

Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera.

Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera.

Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.

Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.

Use SD/SDHC memory cards only. Never use other types of cards.

If you accidently insert another type of card into the camera, contact an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to remove the card by force.

CAUTION

Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it.

Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a fire or burn your hands.

Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.

Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high temperatures.

Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch fire. Do not use the AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire.
