<When using the camera>

i Due to the characteristics of the camera, the outer surface may become warm during use, but this does

not indicate a malfunction. (In particular, the area

indicated by gray in the figure may become hot.)

i If the camera starts to feel uncomfortably hot during

use, you might temporarily discontinue use until it

cools down, or try holding it in your other hand for a

while.

Please use a tripod or other support when using the camera for a long time.
