Appendix

All our cameras purchased through authorized bona fide

photographic distribution channels are guaranteed against

defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve

months from the date of your purchase. Service will be

rendered, and defective parts will be replaced without cost to

you within that period, provided the camera does not show

evidence of impact, sand or liquid damage, mishandling,

tampering, battery or chemical corrosion, operation contrary to

operating instructions, or modification by an unauthorized repair

shop. The manufacturer or its authorized representatives shall

not be liable for any repair or alterations except those made with

its written consent and shall not be liable for damages from

delay or loss of use or from other indirect or consequential

damages of any kind, whether caused by defective material or

workmanship or otherwise; and it is expressly agreed that the

liability of the manufacturer or its representatives under all

guarantees or warranties, whether expressed or implied, is

strictly limited to the replacement of parts as hereinbefore

provided. No refunds will be made on repairs by non-authorized

service facilities.

Procedure During 12-month Warranty Period

Any camera which proves defective during the 12-month

warranty period should be returned to the dealer from whom you

purchased the camera or to the manufacturer. If there are no

representatives of the manufacturer in your country, send the

camera to the manufacturer, with postage prepaid. In this case,

it will take a considerable length of time before the camera can

be returned to you owing to the complicated customs

procedures required. If the camera is covered by warranty,

repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the

camera will be returned to you upon completion of servicing. If

the camera is not covered by warranty, regular charges of the

manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping

charges are to be borne by the owner. If your camera was

purchased outside of the country where you wish to have it

serviced during the warranty period, regular handling and

servicing fees may be charged by the manufacturer’s

representatives in that country. Notwithstanding this, your

camera returned to the manufacturer will be serviced free of

charge according to this procedure and warranty policy. In any

case, however, shipping charges and customs clearance fees

to be borne by the sender. To prove the date of your purchase

when required, please keep the receipt or bills covering the

purchase of your camera for at least a year. Before sending

your camera for servicing, please make sure that you are

sending it to the manufacturer’s authorized representatives or

their approved repair shops, unless you are sending it directly

to the manufacturer. Always obtain a quotation for the service

charge, and only after you accept the quoted service charge,

instruct the service station to proceed with the servicing.

• This warranty policy does not affect the customer’s statutory

some countries can supersede this warranty policy.

Therefore, we recommend that you review the warranty card

supplied with your product at the time of purchase, or

and to receive a copy of the warranty policy.
