the camera.
• Always use and store the camera out of
the reach of young children and infants to
prevent the following dangerous situations
which could cause serious injury:

strap, causing strangulation.
• Accidentally swallowing the battery,
cards or other small parts.
•
Accidentally firing the flash into their
own eyes or those of another child.
• Accidentally being injured by the
moving parts of the camera.
•
If you find that the USB-AC adapter or
charger is extremely hot or notice any
unusual odors, noise, or smoke around
it, unplug the power plug from wall outlet
immediately and stop using it. Then,
contact an authorized distributor or
service center.
• Stop using the camera immediately if
you notice any unusual odors, noise, or
smoke around it.
• Never remove the batteries with bare
hands, which may cause a fire or burn
your hands.
• Never hold or operate the camera with wet
hands.
This may cause overheating, exploding,
burning, electrical shocks, or malfunctions.
• 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 fire. Do not use the
charger or USB-AC adapter if it is covered
(such as a blanket). This could cause
overheating, resulting in fire.
• 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.

electromagnetic devices.
This may cause overheating, burning, or
exploding.
