A. Cautions
Equipment
• Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong
impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the
equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.
• Do not store or use the equipment in humid or dusty areas.
• During shooting, do not allow metal objects (such as pins or
keys) or dirt to contact the charger terminals or plug.
Such conditions could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
• Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places
subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the
dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car.
• Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated
capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Or, do
not use the equipment if the cable or plug is damaged, or if the
plug is not fully inserted into the power outlet.
• Do not use in locations with poor ventilation.
The above-mentioned can cause leakage, overheating or explosion,
resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also
cause deformation of the casing.
• When not using the camera for extended periods of time,
remove the batteries from the camera or battery charger and
store the equipment in a safe place.
If the batteries are left inside the camera, damage caused by
leakage may occur.
• Do not connect compact power adapters or battery chargers to
devices such as electrical transformers for foreign travel
because it may lead to malfunctions, excessive heat
generation, fire, electric shock or injury.
