Avoid using, placing, or storing the product in the following places:

 -

Places subject to direct sunlight

 -

Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)

viewfinder or interchangeable lens) at intense light sources such as 

the sun on a clear day or an intense artificial light source.

This could damage your eyesight.

When using products with interchangeable lenses, do not leave the 

camera with a lens attached or a lens itself out in direct sunlight 

without the lens cap on.
