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.
