Ɣ Do not short circuit, heat or dispose of battery in fire.
Ɣ Do not insert the battery with the polarities reversed.
Q 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.
Q 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.
Q 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.
Q Take care not to touch the lens or lens cover to avoid taking an unclear image
and possibly causing camera malfunction.

Q Before inserting any cables or AC adapter, check the directions and do not
insert by force. It may cause breakage of cable or camera.
