• 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. Exposure to intense sunlight and heat
may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or explode, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High
temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using
the battery charger to charge the battery pack or power the camera.
• Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas could lead to fire, electrical
shock or other damage.
• 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.
• Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers when shooting, in addition, do not touch the surface
of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession. Either action could result in burns.
• Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to its lens. The resulting heat build-up
could damage the flash.
• If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm. Please take care
when operating the camera for extended periods as your hands may experience a burning sensation.
