H. Cautions on Use

•This product is for domestic use. The warranty is only valid domestically.

•Should the product fail or malfunction while you are abroad, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally or bearing the expenditure incurred therefore.

•Be sure not to drop or apply any sudden force to the camera.

•Firing the flash consecutively may heat the firing unit. Do not fire it consecutively more than necessary.

•Do not fire the flash near eyes, or view the sun or other strong light directly through the viewfinder. It could cause visual impairment (particularly for infants).

•Do not fire the flash near the driver of a vehicle to avoid causing accidents.

•The batteries may become hot after extended use. Touching the batteries immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.

•If the LCD monitor or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become washed out and images may become hard to view.

•The LCD monitor and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain lit up continually in part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven because of the characteristics of LCDs. These are not failures.

•While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other objects.

•In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation may occur in the camera, resulting in troubles such as fogging of the glass surface or malfunctions of the camera. If this occurs, place the camera in a bag to slow the temperature change as much as possible. Take it out of the bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere has decreased to a fairly small amount.

•To avoid damaging the connectors, do not put any objects into the camera's microphone or speaker holes.
