• Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to
extremely high temperatures.
• Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some
circumstances, cause the camera to catch fi re. Do not use the
charger or USB-AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This
could cause overheating, resulting in fi re.
•Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature burn.
• When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a
low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following:
• When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on
to the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
• In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature
of the camera’s body may be lower than the environmental
temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera
in cold temperatures.
• Be careful with the strap.
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily
catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.
• Do not touch the metallic parts of the camera for a long period
of time at low temperatures.
• This may damage your skin. At low temperatures, handle the
camera while wearing gloves.
• To protect the high-precision technology contained in this product,
never leave the camera in the places listed below, no matter if in
use or storage:
• Places where temperatures and/or humidity are high or go through
extreme changes. Direct sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near
other heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or humidifi ers.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near fl ammable items or explosives.
• In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain. When using
products with weatherproof designs, read their manuals as well.
