Caution

• Never try to disassemble or short the battery. Also, do not dispose of the

battery in a fire, as it may explode.

• Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a

risk of burns.

• Do not discharge the flash while it is touching your clothing as there is a

risk of discoloring.

• Some portions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as

there is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long
periods of time.

• Should the LCD be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be

careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or in your eyes or
in your mouth.

• Only use specified battery with this camera. Use of other batteries can

cause a fire or explosion.

• Keep wires, hairpins, and other metal objects away from the + and –

contacts of the battery.

• Do not disassemble the battery. Disassembling the battery can cause

explosion or leakage.

• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with your eyes, do not

rub them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention
immediately.

• If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with skin or clothes,

wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.

• Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or

begins to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.

• Only use the battery charger D-BC63 supplied with the camera. Do not use

the product at a voltage other than the specified voltage. Use with a power
source or voltage other than that designed can cause a fire or electrical
shock. The specified voltage is 100 - 240V AC.

• Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than rechargeable
