Product Information 

1. 

Product design and specifications are subject to change without 
notice. This includes primary product specifications, software, 
software drivers, and user’s manual. This User Manual is a general 
reference guide for the product. 

2. 

The product and accessories that come with your camera may be 
different from those described in this manual. This is due to the fact 
that different retailers often specify slightly different product 
inclusions and accessories to suit their market requirements, 
customer demographics, and geographical preferences. Products very 
often vary between retailers especially with accessories such as 
batteries, memory cards, cables, carrying cases/pouches, and 
language support. Occasionally a retailer will specify a unique 
product color, appearance, and internal memory capacity. Contact 
your dealer for precise product definition and included accessories.
