B Cautions when carrying the digital camera

œDo not walk around holding the digital camera by the handstrap. It may hit other objects and get damaged. When walking around, hold the digital camera in your hand or place it in a pocket.

œ Be careful not to drop the digital camera or subject it to strong shocks.
