Cautions on Use
Cautions on Use
•  This product was manufactured for use in the country in which it was 
purchased. The warranty is only valid in the country in which the camera was 
purchased.
•  Should the product fail or malfunction while you are abroad, the 
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally or 
bearing the expenditure incurred therefore.
•  Be sure not to drop or apply any sudden force to the camera.
•  While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other 
objects. Take special care to not hit the lens and picture display.
•  Firing the flash consecutively may heat the firing unit. Do not fire it 
consecutively more than necessary.
•  Do not touch the flash and keep foreign objects away from the firing unit. 
Doing so can cause burns and fires.
•  Do not fire the flash near eyes. It could cause visual impairment (particularly 
for infants).
•  Do not fire the flash near the driver of a vehicle to avoid causing accidents.
•  The battery may become hot after extended use. Touching the battery 
immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.
•  If the picture display or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become 
washed out and images may become hard to view.
•  The picture display and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain 
lit up continually in part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven 
because of the characteristics of LCDs. These are not failures.
•  Do not forcefully press the surface of the picture display.
•  In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation 
may occur in the camera, resulting in troubles such as fogging of the glass 
surface or malfunctions of the camera. If this occurs, place the camera in a 
bag to slow the temperature change as much as possible. Take it out of the 
bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere has decreased 
to a fairly small amount. If condensation occurs, remove the battery and 
memory card, and wait until the moisture has dried before using the camera.
•  To avoid damaging the connectors, do not put any objects into the camera’s 
microphone or speaker holes.
•  Do not get the camera wet. Do not operate the camera with wet hands. This 
can result in malfunction or an electrical shock.
•  Before taking any important pictures (such as at weddings, on trips abroad, 
etc.), test the camera to check operation and ensure proper functioning. We 
recommend that you keep this manual and spare battery on hand.
