damage the sensor.
DO NOT expose your camera to excessive vibration or impact
(shock). Be careful not to drop your camera. Internal mechanisms
may be damaged by severe shock. Mechanical alignment of
optical elements may be affected by excessive vibration.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE: The use of devices using
radio or other communication waves may result in the malfunction
or interference with the unit and/or with audio and video signals.
Clean only using a dry cloth. When cleaning your camera,
remember that it is not waterproof and moisture can damage
electronic circuitry. DO NOT rinse or immerse any element of the
camera, lens or other accessory, keep them dry at all times. DO
NOT use soaps, detergents, ammonia, alkaline cleaners, and
abrasive cleaning compounds or solvents. These substances may
damage lens coatings and electronic circuitry.
Maintain sufficient ventilation—DO NOT block any ventilation
openings or obstruct cooling fan airflow.
CAUTION:
Proper camera ventilation requires a minimum
0.5" (1.25 cm) clearance between the camera ventilation
openings and external surfaces. Verify that objects that
can block the fan intake and exhaust ports do not impede
airflow. Failure to permit adequate airflow may result in
overheating of the camera, degraded operation and in
extreme situations, damage to the camera.

during prolonged recording sessions. When ejecting the
CFast media card, let it cool before touching it with bare
fingers.
