Safety Precautions (continued)CAUTION
If you want to use the camera on an airplane, consult with
the airline and follow their instructions.
Use of this camera is sometimes restricted due to potential
radio interference.
Do not use the camera in humid, steamy, smoky or dusty
places.
This might cause fire or electric shock.
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 wellventilated 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 battery 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.
Insert the battery paying careful attention to the polarity
(+ or –) of the terminals.
Inserting the battery with its polarities inverted might cause
fire and injury, or damage the surrounding areas.
CAUTION
Do not look at the sun through the camera viewfinder.
This may cause injury of the eyes.
Do not use the flash close to anyone’s eyes.
This might cause temporary damage to the person’s eyesight.
Do not walk around with the camera swinging from the
shoulder strap.
If you walk around with the camera hanging from your hand
through the shoulder strap, the camera might bump into
people or other objects, damaging the camera or causing an
injury.
Before you store or dispose of used batteries insert them
in their battery covers or tape the plus (+) and (–)
terminals with insulating tape.
If stored or disposed of 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 subject the LCD monitor to impact.
If the status display is impacted, the glass on the screen may
be broken and internal fluid may leak.
If the internal fluid enters your eyes or sticks to your body or
clothes, immediately rinse with fresh water. If the internal fluid
enters your eyes, immediately consult a physician to receive
treatment.
Consult your dealer regarding the internal cleaning of the
camera once every two years.
If dust is allowed to accumulate inside the camera for a long
time, this might result in fire or defects. Consult your dealer
regarding the cleaning costs.
When connecting or disconnecting the power cord to and
from the power outlet or the camera, grasp and pull on the
connector plug. Pulling on the cord may cause internal
breakage of the wires, resulting in fire or electric shock.
