•Before using the product, please ensure that you read the safety precautions described

below. Always ensure that the product is used correctly.

•The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to prevent injuries to

yourself and other persons, or damage to the equipment.

•Be sure to also check the guides included with any separately sold accessories you

use.

Safety Precautions

Warning Denotes the possibility of serious injury or death.

•Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to people’s eyes.

Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash could damage 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.

Strap: Putting the strap around a child’s neck could result in asphyxiation.

•Use only recommended power sources.

•Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the product.

•Avoid dropping or subjecting the product to severe impacts.

•To avoid the risk of injury, do not touch the interior of the product if it has been

dropped or otherwise damaged.

•Stop using the product immediately if it emits smoke, a strange smell, or

otherwise behaves abnormally.

•Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the

product.

•Do not let the product come into contact with water (e.g. sea water) or other

liquids.

•Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to enter the camera.

This could result in electrical shock or fire.

If liquids or foreign objects come into contact with the camera interior, immediately turn

the camera off and remove the batteries.

•Do not look through the viewfinder at bright light sources (such as the sun on a

clear day).

This could damage your eyesight.

•Use only the recommended batteries.

•Do not place the batteries near or in direct flame.

The batteries may explode or leak, resulting in electrical shock or fire. This could cause

injury and damage the surroundings. In the event that batteries leak and the battery

electrolyte contacts eyes, mouth, skin or clothing, immediately flush with water.

•Turn the camera off in places where camera use is prohibited.

The electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the operation of

electronic instruments and other devices. Exercise adequate caution when using the

camera in places where use of electronic devices is restricted, such as inside airplanes

and medical facilities.

Safety Precautions

•Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support data

CD-ROMs.

It is possible to suffer hearing loss from listening with headphones to the loud sounds of

a CD-ROM played on an audio CD player (music player). Additionally, this could damage

the speakers.

Caution Denotes the possibility of injury.

•When holding the camera by the strap, be careful not to bang it, subject it to

strong impacts or shocks, or let it get caught on other objects.

•Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.

This could lead to injury or damage the camera.

•Be careful not to subject the screen to strong impacts.

If the screen cracks, injury may result from the broken fragments.

•When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or clothing.

This could result in burns or damage to the flash.

•Avoid using, placing or storing the product in the following places:

-Places subject to strong sunlight

-Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)

-Humid or dusty areas

These could cause leakage, overheating or an explosion of the batteries, resulting in

electrical shock, fire, burns or other injuries.

Caution Denotes the possibility of damage to the equipment.

•Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (such as the sun on a clear day).

Doing so may damage the image sensor.

•When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful not to allow

dust or sand to enter the camera.

This may cause the product to malfunction.

•In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the flash.

This is due to the high intensity of the flash burning dust and foreign materials stuck to the

front of the unit. Please use a cotton swab to remove dirt, dust or other foreign matter from

the flash to prevent heat build-up and damage to the unit.

•Remove and store the batteries when you are not using the camera.

If the batteries are left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.

•Before you discard the batteries, cover the terminals with tape or other

insulators.

Contacting other metal materials may lead to fire or explosions.
