• 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 or clothing when shooting. The flash may be
damaged and emit smoke or noise, 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.

specified rating, not over the specified rating. The plug of the battery charger varies according to
