• Before using the camera, please ensure that you have read and understood the safety
precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.
• The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe
and correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to
yourself, other persons and equipment.

supply accessories.
Warnings
• Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or at other intense light sources that could injure your
eyesight.
• Do not trigger the optional flash in close proximity to human or animal eyes. Exposure to the intense
light produced by the flash may injure eyesight. In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away
from infants when using the flash.
• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the camera or
batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition, placement of the strap around the child’s
neck could result in suffocation.
• Be particularly careful to keep the button batteries (CR2016 lithium) used in the camera out of the reach
of children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a battery.
• Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene or thinners or other flammable substances on the
equipment. The use of these substances may lead to fire or electrical shock.
