CAUTION
Insert the batteries paying
careful attention to the
polarity (+ or –) of the
terminals.
Inserting the batteries with
polarities inverted might
cause fire and injury, or
damage the surrounding
areas.
Do not fire the flash near
the eyes.
This might cause temporary
damage to the eyesight.
Do not walk around with
the camera swinging from
the strap.
The camera might come into
contact to other people and
cause injury or damage to the
camera or other objects.
Before you store or dispose
the used batteries, tape the
(+) and (–) terminals with
insulating tape.
If stored or disposed without
doing this, the batteries may
make contact with metal
objects, resulting in fire or
injury due to leaking of
battery fluid, overheating or
bursting of the battery.
Do not leave the camera in
places where the
temperature may rise
significantly, such as inside
a car.
This might adversely affect
the case or the parts inside,
resulting in fire.
Do not place or wrap the
camera in cloth or blankets.
This might cause heat to build
up and deform the case,
resulting in fire. Use the
camera in a well-ventilated
place.
Before you move the
camera, disconnect cords
and cables.
Failure to do this might
damage cords and cables,
resulting in fire or electric
shock.
Do not drop or subject the
camera to strong impact.
This might cause fire, electric
shock or malfunctions.
Before you carry out
maintenance on the
camera, remove the
batteries and AC adapter.
Leaving these attached might
cause electric shock.
Remove the batteries and
AC adapter if you plan not
to use the camera for a
long time.
This might cause fire.
