WARNING MESSAGES
• Modern electronic components react sensitively to electrostatic
discharge. As people can easily pick up charges of tens of thou-
sands of volts, by walking on synthetic carpets for example, a
discharge can occur when you touch your camera, particularly if
it is placed on a conductive surface. If only the camera housing
is affected, this discharge is harmless to the electronics. Howev-
er, inspite of built-in safety circuits, outer contacts such as those
in the accessory shoe should not be touched if at all possible for
safety reasons. We therefore recommend that you always use
the respective cover if you are not using a viewfinder or flash
unit.
• For any cleaning of the contacts, do not use an optical micro-fi-
ber cloth (synthetic); use a cotton or linen cloth instead! Before
touching the contacts, you can make sure you discharge any
electrostatic charge by deliberately touching a heating or water
pipe (conductive, grounded material). You can also avoid soiling
and oxidization of the contacts by storing your camera in a dry
place with the lens or bayonet cap attached.
• Use only the recommended accessories to prevent faults, short
circuits or electric shock.
• Do not attempt to remove parts of the body (covers); qualified
repairs can be carried out only at authorized service centers.
