Handling the Camera
WARNING
Do not use the camera near ammable or explosive gases.
Do not use the ash and LED on people (infants, small
children, etc.) at close range.
You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your
subjects. Firing the ash too close to the subject’s eyes could
cause a momentary loss of vision.
Keep young children and infants away from the camera.
Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young
children and infants to prevent the following dangerous
situations which could cause serious injury:
Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing
strangulation.
Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small
parts.
Accidentally ring the ash into their own eyes or those of
another child.
Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the
camera.
Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera.
Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.
Do not cover the ash with a hand while ring.
Use SD/SDHC memory cards only. Never use other types
of cards.
If you accidently insert another type of card into the camera,
contact an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to
remove the card by force.
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 re or burn your hands.
Never hold or operate the camera with wet 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 re. Do not use
the charger or USB-AC adapter if it is covered (such as a
blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in 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.
