WARNING
• Do not use the camera near

• Do not use the
fl

people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range.
•
You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects.
Firing the
fl
ash too close to the subject’s eyes could cause a
momentary loss of vision.
• Keep young children and infants away from the camera.
•
Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children
and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which
could cause serious injury:
•
Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation.
•
Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts.
•
Accidentally
fi

fl
ash into their own eyes or those of another
child.
•
Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera.
• Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera.
• Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.
• Do not cover the

If you accidently insert another type of card into the camera, contact
an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to remove the

any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it, unplug the power
plug from wall outlet immediately and stop using it. Then,
contact an authorized distributor or service center.
CAUTION
