Caution

• Do not short the batteries or dispose of the batteries in fire. Do not

disassemble the batteries. The batteries could explode or catch fire.

• Do not charge any batteries other than rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. The

batteries could explode or catch fire. Of the batteries that can be used in this
camera, only the Ni-MH batteries can be recharged.

• Remove the batteries from the camera immediately if they become hot or

begin to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.

• Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is the risk of low

temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.

• Do not place your finger or cover with clothing when discharging the flash.

Fingers or clothing may be burned.

• Only use specified batteries with this camera. Use of other batteries can

cause a fire or explosion.

• Replace the batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery brands, type or

an old battery with a new one. It may cause explosion or a fire.

• The batteries should be inserted correctly with regard to polarity (+ and –)

marked on the batteries and the camera.

rechargeable. Do not disassemble the batteries. Recharging and
disassembling can cause explosion or leakage.

• Take the Worldwide Service Network that is included in the package. This

• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still

working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a
wedding or during traveling). Pictures cannot be guaranteed if recording,
playback or transferring your data to a computer, etc. is not possible due to
a malfunction of your camera or recording media (SD Memory Card), etc.

• Do not clean the product with organic solvents such as thinner or alcohol

benzene.

• Do not subject to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the

camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
