Precautions
•
Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or other intense light sources which could damage your
eyesight.
•
Do not try to open the case of the camera or attempt to modify this camera in any way. High-voltage
internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed. Maintenance and repairs should
be carried out only by authorized service providers.
•
Do not fire the flash too close to the eyes of animals or people, especially for young children. Eye
damage may result. In particular, remain at least one meter away from infants when using flash.
•
Keep the camera away from water and other liquids. Do not use the camera with wet hands. Never use
the camera in the rain or snow. Moisture creates the danger of electric shock.
•
Keep the camera and its accessories out of the reach of children and animals to prevent accidents or
damage to the camera.
•
If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the camera, turn the power off immediately. Take
the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair. Never attempt to repair the camera on
your own.
•
Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not expressly recommended for
this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other
hazards.
Disclaimer
We assume no responsibility over and above the provisions of the Product Liability Law for damages
suffered by the user or third parties as a result of inappropriate handling of the product or its accessories, or
by their operational failure and by their use. We reserve the right to make changes to this product and its

Never try to open the camera or to take it apart. This will invalidate all guarantee claims.
Using your batteries
For best performance and prolonged battery life, we recommend the use of AA lithium or rechargeable
NiMH batteries.
Extending battery life
The following functions use up a great deal of battery power and should therefore only be used
occasionally:
•
Excessive use of flash
•
Editing images on the camera display
The battery life can be affected by soiling. Please clean the contacts with a clean and dry cloth before
putting the batteries in the camera. Battery performance drops at temperatures below 5 °C (41 °F). If you
use the camera at low temperatures you should have replacement batteries to hand and ensure they do
not get too cold. Please note: you should not dispose of cold and seemingly flat batteries because these
batteries may work again at room temperature.
