the sun on a clear day.
This could damage your eyesight.
• Use only the recommended battery/batteries.
• Do not place the battery/batteries near or in direct flame.

collected on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet, and the surrounding area.
- Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
- Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated capacity of the electrical outlet or
wiring accessories. Do not use if the power cord or plug are damaged, or not fully plugged into the
outlet.
- Do not allow dirt or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact the terminals or plug.
The battery/batteries may explode or leak, resulting in electrical shock or fire. This could cause injury
and damage the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the battery electrolyte contacts
eyes, mouth, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water.
• Turn the camera off in places where camera use is prohibited.
The electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the operation of electronic
instruments and other devices. Exercise adequate caution when using the camera in places where
use of electronic devices is restricted, such as inside airplanes and medical facilities.
• Do not play any included CD-ROMs in a CD player that does not support data CD-ROMs.
It is possible to suffer hearing loss from listening with headphones to the loud sounds of a CD-ROM
played on an audio CD player (music player). Additionally, this could damage the speakers.
Caution Denotes the possibility of injury.
• When holding the camera by the strap, be careful not to bang it, subject it to strong impacts
or shocks, or let it get caught on other objects.

This could lead to injury or damage the camera.
• Be careful not to subject the screen to strong impacts.
If the screen cracks, injury may result from the broken fragments.
• When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or clothing.
This could result in burns or damage to the flash.
• Avoid using, placing or storing the product in the following places:
- Places subject to strong sunlight
- Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)
- Humid or dusty areas
These could cause leakage, overheating or an explosion of the battery/batteries, resulting in electrical
shock, fire, burns or other injuries.
High temperatures may deform the product.
• The slideshow transition effects may cause discomfort when viewed for prolonged periods.
• When using optional lenses, lens filters, or filter adapters (if applicable), be sure to attach
these accessories firmly.
If the lens becomes loose and falls off, it may crack, and the shards of glass may lead to cuts.

way when the flash is lowered, to avoid pinching it.
This could result in injury.

sand to enter the camera.
• On cameras that raise and lower the flash automatically, do not push the flash down or pry
it open.
This may cause the product to malfunction.
• In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the flash.
This is due to the high intensity of the flash burning dust and foreign materials stuck to the front of the
unit. Please use a cotton swab to remove dirt, dust or other foreign matter from the flash to prevent
heat build-up and damage to the unit.
• Remove and store the battery/batteries when you are not using the camera.
If the battery/batteries is/are left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.

- Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet after charging is complete, or when you are not
using it.
- Do not place anything, such as cloth, on top of the battery charger while it is charging.
Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to overheat and distort, resulting in
fire.
• Do not place the battery near pets.
Pets biting the battery could cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire or damage.
• If your camera uses multiple batteries, note the following precautions.
- Do not charge batteries of different types at the same time, or use older batteries together with
newer batteries.
- Do not insert the batteries with the + and – terminals reversed.
This may cause the product to malfunction.
