• Exercise due caution when screwing on the separately sold wide converter
lens, tele-converter lens, close-up lens and conversion lens adapter. If they
loosen, fall off and shatter, the glass shards may cause an injury. Never aim the lenses
at the sun or strong light sources. There is a risk of damage to eyesight.
Cautions
• Avoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places subject to strong
sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car.
Exposure to intense sunlight and heat may cause the batteries to leak, overheat or
explode, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause
deformation of the casing. Ensure that there is good ventilation when using the
compact power adapter to charge the battery pack or power the camera.
• Do not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas. Storage in such areas could
lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
• Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks that
could lead to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.
• Be careful not to cover the flash with your fingers when shooting. In addition,
do not touch the surface of the flash after taking several pictures in rapid succession.
Either action could result in burns.
• Do not operate the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to its lens. The
resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.
• If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become
warm. Please take care when operating the camera for an extended period as your
hands may experience a burning sensation.
Preventing Malfunctions
■ Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment
generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong magnetic fields may
cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
■ Avoid Condensation Related Problems
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause
condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can
avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it
adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
■ If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued use may
damage the equipment. Remove the CF card, and battery or a household power
source, from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before
resuming use.
