Cautions

Do not fire the flash close to anyone’s eyes.

This might cause damage to the person’s eyesight.

Do not subject the LCD monitor to impact.

This might damage the glass on the screen or cause the internal fluid to 
leak. If the internal fluid enters your eyes or comes into contact with your 
body or clothes, rinse with fresh water. If the internal fluid has entered your 
eyes, consult a physician to receive treatment.

A camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it, strike it or use 
excessive force when handling the camera.

This might cause damage to the camera.

Do not remove the battery immediately after long period of continuous 
use.

The battery becomes hot during use. Touching a hot battery might cause 
burns.

Do not wrap the camera or place it in cloth or blankets.

This might cause heat to build up and deform the case, resulting in fire. 
Use the camera in a well-ventilated place.

Do not leave the camera in places where the temperature may rise 
significantly, such as inside a car.

This might adversely affect the case or the parts inside, resulting in fire.

Before you move the camera, disconnect cords and cables.

Failure  to  do  this  might  damage  cords  and  cables,  resulting  in  fire  and 
electric shock.
