CAUTION
Stop using the camera immediately if you
notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke
around it.
Never remove the batteries with bare hands,
which may cause a
fi
re or burn your hands.
Do not leave the camera in places where it may
be subject to extremely high temperatures.
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in
some circumstances, cause the camera to catch
fi
re. Do not use the charger or AC adapter if it is
covered (such as a blanket). This could cause
overheating, resulting in
fi
re.
Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a
low-temperature burn.
When the camera contains metal parts,
overheating can result in a low-temperature
burn. Pay attention to the following:
When used for a long period, the camera will
get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this
state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
In places subject to extremely cold
temperatures, the temperature of the camera’s
body may be lower than the environmental
temperature. If possible, wear gloves when
handling the camera in cold temperatures.
Be careful with the strap.
Be careful with the strap when you carry the
camera. It could easily catch on stray objects
and cause serious damage.
