Handling the Camera
WARNING
•
Do not use the camera near fl ammable or
explosive gases.
•
Do not use the fl ash and LED on 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 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.
•
Do not insert anything into the microSD
attachment other than the microSD card.
Other types of cards cannot be inserted into
microSD Attachment.
•
Do not insert anything other than an xD-Picture
Card or the microSD Attachment into the
camera.
If you insert a card by mistake, such as a microSD
card, do not use force. Contact authorized
distributors/service centers. Damages such as
scratches on the microSD Attachment or card
could result in the camera overheating and/or
malfunctioning.
CAUTION
•
Stop using the camera immediately if you
notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke
around it.
•
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.
•
Do not leave the camera in places where it may
be subject to extremely high temperatures.
•
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in
some circumstances, cause the camera to catch
fi re. Do not use the charger if it is covered (such
as a blanket). This could cause overheating,
resulting in fi re.
•
Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a
low-temperature burn.
•
When the camera contains metal parts,
overheating can result in a low-temperature
burn. Pay attention to the following:
•
When used for a long period, the camera will
get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this
state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
•
In places subject to extremely cold
temperatures, the temperature of the camera's
body may be lower than the environmental
temperature. If possible, wear gloves when
handling the camera in cold temperatures.
•
Be careful with the strap.
•
Be careful with the strap when you carry the
camera. It could easily catch on stray objects
and cause serious damage.
