Precautions for Use
Camera

6
Appendices

• This product was manufactured for use in the country of purchase, the warranty is not
valid in other countries.
• Should the product fail or malfunction while out of the country, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally or bearing any expenditure
incurred thereby.
• Do not drop the camera or subject it to physical shocks.
• When carrying the camera, be careful that it does not strike other objects. Particular
care is required to protect the lens and picture display.
• The flash may overheat if fired many times in succession. Do not use the flash successively more than necessary.
• Do not use the flash in close contact with your body or other objects. Failure to observe this precaution could result in burns or fire.
• Using the flash unit in close proximity to your subject’s eyes could cause temporary
visual impairment. Particular care should be observed when photographing infants.
• Do not direct the flash at the operator of a motor vehicle. Failure to observe this precaution could cause accidents.
• Battery may become hot with extended use. Wait for the battery to cool before removing it from the camera.
• The picture display may be difficult to read in direct sunlight.
• You may notice that picture display varies in brightness or contains pixels that do not
light or that are always lit. This is common to all LCD monitors and does not indicate a
malfunction.
• Do not apply force to the picture display.
• Abrupt changes in temperature may cause condensation, resulting in visible condensation inside the lens or camera malfunction. This can be avoided by placing the camera in a plastic bag to slow the temperature change, and removing it only after the air
in the bag has reached the same temperature of its surroundings.
• To prevent damage to the product, do not insert objects into the holes in the microphone and speaker coverings.
• Keep the camera dry and avoid handling it with wet hands. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in product malfunction or electric shock.
• Take a test shot to ensure that the camera is functioning properly before using it on
important occasions such as travel or weddings. We recommend that you keep this
manual and spare batteries at hand.

Avoiding Condensation------------------------------------------------------------------------------------• Condensation is particularly likely to occur if you move to an area with a sharply different temperature, if humidity is high, in a cold room after the heater has come on, or where the camera is exposed
to cold air from an air conditioner or other device.

171

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old Equipment and Used Batteries
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/or accompanying
documents mean that used electrical and electronic equipment and
batteries should not be mixed with general household waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipment and batteries must be treated
separately and in accordance with legislation that requires proper
treatment, recovery and recycling of these products.
By disposing of these products correctly you will help ensure that
the waste undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health which could otherwise arise due to inappropriate waste handling.
If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol shown above, in accordance
with the Battery Directive, this indicates that a heavy metal (Hg = Mercury, Cd =
Cadmium, Pb = Lead) is present in the battery at a concentration above an applicable threshold specified in the Battery Directive.
For more information about collection and recycling of used products, please contact your local authorities, your waste disposal service or the point of sale where
you purchased the products.
2. In other countries outside the EU

For Switzerland: Used electrical/electronic equipment can be returned free of
charge to the dealer, even when you don’t purchase a new product. Further collection facilities are listed on the home page of www.swico.ch or www.sens.ch.

The CE Mark is a Directive conformity mark of the European
Union.
