Cautions
• Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to
strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk
(boot) of a car.
Exposure to intense sunlight and heat may cause the
batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns or other
injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.
Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the battery charger to
charge the battery pack.
• Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such
areas could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
• Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or
shocks that could lead to injury or damage the equipment when
wearing or holding it by the strap.
• Be careful not to touch the interior of the battery compartment. This
could lead to injuries or damage the camera.
• Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers or clothing when
shooting.
The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. In
addition, do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures
in rapid succession. Either action could result in burns.
• Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to its lens.
The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.
• Ensure that the battery charger is plugged into a power outlet of the
specified rating, not over the specified rating.
The plug of the battery
charger varies according to region.
• Do not use the battery charger if the plug is not fully inserted into the
power outlet.
• Do not allow metal objects (such as pins or keys) or dirt to contact the
charger terminals or plug.
• If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may
become warm.
Please take care when operating the camera for extended
periods as your hands may experience a burning sensation.
