WARNINGS 

  

Do not use the camera if it is emitting smoke, becomes unusually hot to be touched, 

emitting any unusual odor or noise, or if it is in any other abnormal state. Operating the 

camera in any of these situations may cause a fire or an electrical shock. Stop using 

the camera immediately, turn the camera off, and then disconnect the power source 

(batteries or AC power adapter). (If you are using the AC power adapter, unplug the 

adapter from the AC power outlet after you have disconnected the camera.) After 

checking that smoke is no longer being emitted, contact your dealer or a local 

authorized service facility and request repairs. Never attempt to repair the camera 

yourself as this is dangerous.

camera off, and then disconnect the power source (batteries or AC power adapter). (If 

you are using the AC power adapter, unplug the adapter from the AC power outlet 

after you have disconnected the camera.) Then contact your dealer or a local 

authorized service facility. Do not continue to use the camera as this may cause a fire 

or an electrical shock. 

  

If the camera has been dropped or if the camera case has been damaged, turn the 

camera off, and then disconnect the power source (batteries or AC power adapter). (If 

you are using the AC power adapter, unplug the adapter from the AC power outlet
