Precautions 
•  Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or other intense light sources which could 
damage your eyesight. 
•  Do not try to open the case of the digital video camera or attempt to modify this camera in 
any way. High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed.

result. Please remain at least one meter away from infants when using flash.

Never use the camera in the rain or snow. Moisture creates internal danger and may cause 
electric shock. 
•  Keep the camera and its accessories out of the reach of children and animals to prevent 
accidents or damage to the camera. 
•  If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the camera, turn the power off 
immediately. Take the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair. Never 
attempt to repair the camera on your own. 
•  Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not expressly 
recommended for this equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, 
electrical shock or other hazards.
