CARE AND STORAGE

HANDLING

■Do not use or store the camera in places exposed to direct sunlight (e.g. a beach in summer), excessive heat, humidity, extreme variations of temperature and humidity, sand or dust, excessive moisture, or vibrations (e.g. in a car).

■Do not use or store the camera near a heater, cooler, or humidifier, or near a fire, magnetic fields, or volatile materials.

■Do not shake the camera or subject it to shocks.

■Do not leave the camera with its lens pointing towards direct sunlight. This will damage the lens.

■Do not leave the camera unused for a long period of time. This may cause battery leakage and can lead to problems including the growth of mold in the camera. Before using, press the Shutter release button to check operation.

■Do not turn the camera when it is mounted on a tripod. Turn the tripod head instead.

■Do not touch any of the camera’s internal parts.

■Do not use the flash for extended periods as this can cause the flash to become excessively hot. Do not touch the flash when it is hot.

■Do not improperly open or modify the camera, as it may result in a shock or injury.
