Caution and Warning Symbols
These Operating Instructions feature the following caution and warning symbols to indicate
items of special importance. Be sure to read the contents of these warnings carefully, and
use the features correctly.
Handling Precautions
<Precautions for Operating the Camera>
• This camera is not designed to be waterproof, and cannot be used in the rain or under
water. If the camera should inadvertently be exposed to water, it should be taken quickly
to a Kyocera/Yashica Service Center for inspection.
• Take great care to keep the lens and light sensor clean since soiling such as fingerprints
can affect the accuracy of the camera’s metering and focusing functions. If these areas
become soiled and require cleaning, wipe them gently with a third-party lens cleaning
cloth. Any dust should be removed using a blower or lens brush.
a

a
WARNING
• If camera or batteries become hot, emit smoke or a burning smell, or display other
abnormal symptoms, remove them from the camera immediately to prevent fire.
When handling the batteries, take precautions to avoid being burned.
• Never attempt to disassemble or modify the camera, since you may receive a
severe electric shock.
• Do not operate the electronic flash at close proximity to a person’s eyes
(especially those of an infant), since eye damage may result.
• Do not attempt to take pictures while driving or walking since you may cause
an accident.
• When taking pictures, remain aware of your surroundings and what is
happening around you.
a
CAUTION
• Clean the camera well after using it at the beach or other locations subject to
large concentrations of sand or dust. Salt air may promote corrosion of metal
components and damage or short circuits in electronic parts, causing the
camera to emit smoke or catch fire. Sand inside the camera may result in
internal damage and operating malfunctions.
• If the camera is brought quickly from a cold place to a warm room,
condensation may form on the lens and internal parts. Such condensation
may result in damage or short circuits in electronic parts, causing the camera
to emit smoke or catch fire. Whenever possible, avoid subjecting the camera
to sudden changes in temperature, and if condensation occurs, turn off the
camera power quickly and leave it off until all condensation is gone.
• This camera is a precision electronic instrument, and should be protected
from impacts and falls that might cause damage to internal parts or the
shorting of circuitry.
• This camera is an electronic device which uses a high-performance IC. The
heat emitted from the IC may make the camera hot during use. It is not a
failure.
• When taking the camera overseas or using it to record important
events, check its operating condition and take test pictures beforehand
to confirm proper operation.
