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.
• 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 or USB-AC adapter 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.
• Do not touch the metallic parts of the camera for a long
period of time at low temperatures.
• This may damage your skin. At low temperatures, handle the
camera while wearing gloves.
