General Precautions - 

 

Do not use ECam if it is emitting smoke, is unusually hot to the touch, is emitting 
any unusual odor or noise, or is in any other abnormal state.  If any of these 
things are happening, stop using ECam immediately.  Get an adult to help you. 
Have them turn the camera off, and disconnect the power (battery or AC power 
adapter).  
 
Never attempt to repair or modify ECam yourself.  Do not remove the camera 
casing. This may cause an electric shock. Your dealer or local authorized 
service facility should carry out internal inspection, maintenance and repairs. 
 
Do not place ECam in unstable locations such as on a wobbly table or sloping 
surface where the camera may fall or tip over and cause injury. 
 
Never use ECam to look through the viewfinder while you are operating a 
moving car, motorcycle, or bicycle.  This may cause a traffic accident.
