Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances,
cause the camera to catch fi re. Do not use the charger or USB-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.
