About the Camera

Warning

• Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are present inside the camera, with the risk of electric shock.
• If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging the camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is a risk of electric shock.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other strong light sources when taking photos or leave the camera sitting in direct sunlight with a lens cap off. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction or cause a fire.
• Do not look through the viewfinder while pointing the lens at the sun. Doing so may lead to a loss of eyesight or cause vision to be impaired.
• If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor, stop use immediately, remove the battery, and contact your nearest service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric shock.

Caution

• Do not fire the flash while your hand is covering the emitter. Doing so may result in burns.
• Do not fire the flash while clothing, etc. is covering the emitter. Doing so may result in discoloration.
• Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is a risk of low temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.

About the Battery

Caution

• Only use the specified battery with this camera. Use of other batteries may cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not short the battery or dispose of the battery in fire. Also, do not disassemble or charge the battery. Doing so may result in explosion or fire.
• Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or begins to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.

Handling the Camera and Accessories

Warning

• Do not place the camera and its accessories within the reach of small children.
  • Take care to keep the battery and battery cover screw out of reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing. Seek medical attention immediately if the battery or screw is accidentally swallowed.
  • Wrapping the strap around a neck may cause suffocation.
  • If the product falls or is operated accidentally, it may cause serious personal injuries.

• Depending on your individual factors or physical condition, the use of the camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any abnormality, stop using the camera and get medical attention immediately.

Handling Precautions

Before Using Your Camera

• When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly, particularly prior to taking important photos (such as at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of taken photos cannot be guaranteed if photo development, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera.

Precautions on Carrying and Using Your Camera

• Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
• Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles, automobiles, or ships.
• Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag, and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings are equalized.
• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt. These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off any rain or water drops.
• The camera is not water resistant, so it cannot be used in places where it will get wet, such as in the rain.
• Do not leave the camera for long periods of time in direct sunlight with film left inside. Doing so may expose the film.
• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using a tripod.

Cleaning Your Camera

• Do not clean the camera with organic solvents such as thinner, alcohol, and benzine.
• Use a lens brush to remove dust accumulated on a lens. Never use a spray blower for cleaning as it may damage the lens.
• Periodic inspections are recommended every one to two years to maintain high performance.

Storing Your Camera

• Do not store the camera with preservatives or chemicals. Storage in high temperatures and high humidity can cause mold to grow on the camera. Store it in a dry and well-ventilated place.
• Avoid using or storing the camera where it may be exposed to static electricity or electrical interference.
• Avoid using or storing the camera in direct sunlight or in locations where it may be exposed to rapid changes in temperature or to condensation.
