General comments regarding photography 

Test photograph 

Before you start photographing a unique event, it is a good idea to first take a number 
of test photographs. This will help to ensure that the camera works as required. 

No compensation for unsuccessful photographs

 

No compensation may be claimed for unsuccessful photographs as a result of a faulty 
camera, faulty software, etc.

can be displayed on other devices or that photographs and video clips produced with 
other devices can be displayed using this camera.

Shaking/knocks 

Shaking/knocks Do not shake the camera or knock it against anything. This may 
cause a fault, unsuccessful photographs, memory incompatibility or the loss of 
photographs from the memory. 

LCD display

the device. Do not use the device near water.
