Flash

the surface of the flash.

when shooting.
The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. The resulting
heat build-up could damage the flash.

Handling Precautions
The Camera
z To prevent malfunction and damage from electromagnetic
waves, never place the camera near motors or equipment
which generate strong magnetic fields.
Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or
corrupt image data.
z To prevent condensation when moving the camera from a cold
location to a hot location, seal the camera inside a vinyl bag and
remove the camera after acclimatizing it to the ambient
temperature.
In the event that condensation in the camera occurs, remove the
memory card and battery and leave the camera idle at normal
temperature until the moisture naturally evaporates.
The Battery
z Keep the battery terminals clean at all times.
Dirty terminals may cause poor contact between the battery and
camera. Polish the terminals with a soft cotton swab before
charging or using the battery.
