Handling the Camera

WARNING
( Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases.
• To avoid causing a fire or explosion, never use the camera near
flammable or explosive gases.
( Do not use the flash on people (infants, small children, etc.) at
close range.
• Use caution when taking flash pictures at close range. When you fire the
flash, you must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects,
especially when taking pictures of infants and small children. Firing the flash
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 firing the flash 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.
• To avoid damaging your eyes, never aim the camera directly into the
sun, or any other extremely bright light source.
( Do not touch a charging battery or the battery charger until
charging is finished and the battery has cooled.
• The battery and battery charger become hot while charging. A specified
AC adapter also becomes hot during long use. At these times, they may
cause minor burns.
( Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.
• Using or storing the camera in dusty or humid places may result in a fire
or electric shock.
