CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in a minor or moderate injury.
■ Leaking, overheating, or damaged battery could result in fire or injury.

•Use battery with the correct specification for the camera.
•Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of battery in fire.
•Do not insert the battery with the polarities reversed. 

■ Remove the battery when not planning to use the camera for a long period of

time. Otherwise the battery may leak corrosive electrolyte and permanently
damage the camera’s components.

■ Do not fire the flash while it is in contact with hands or objects. Do not touch the

flash after using it continuously. It may cause burns.

■ Do not move the camera while it is switched on, if you are using the AC Charger.

After use, always switch off the camera before unplugging the cable from the
wall socket. Then make sure that any connector cords or cables to other devices
are disconnected before moving the camera. Failure to do so may damage the
cords or cables and cause a fire or electric shock.

■ Take care not to touch the lens or lens cover to avoid taking an unclear image

and possibly causing camera malfunction.

■ Avoid obstructing the lens or the flash when you capture an image.
■ Before inserting any cables or AC adapter, check the directions and do not insert

by force. It may cause breakage of cable or camera. 

■ Credit cards may be demagnetized if left near case. Avoid leaving magnetic strip

cards near the case.
