Handling the Camera

WARNING

• Do not use the fl ash and LED on people
(infants, small children, etc.) at close range.

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 ring the 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 fl ash with a hand while fi ring.
• Use SD/SDHC memory cards only. Never use
other types of cards.
If you accidently insert another type of card into
the camera, contact an authorized distributor or
service center. Do not try to remove the card by
force.
CAUTION
• Stop using the camera immediately if you

• Never remove the batteries with bare hands,
which may cause a fi re or burn your hands.
• Never hold or operate the camera with wet
hands.
