SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
12
• Keep young children, infants, and animals 
such as pets away from 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:
•  Becoming entangled in the camera strap,  causing strangulation.
•  Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards  or other small parts.

Do not use the charger if it is covered (such 
as a blanket). This could cause overheating, 
resulting in  fi re.
•  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 
cameras body may be lower than the 
environmental temperature. If possible, 
wear gloves when handling the camera in 
cold temperatures.
•  Be careful with the strap.
Be careful with the strap when you carry 
the camera. It could easily catch on stray 
objects - and cause serious damage.
 Battery Handling Precautions

Monitor
The display on the rear of the camera is an LCD 
monitor.•  In the unlikely event that the monitor  breaks, do not put the liquid crystal in your 
mouth. Any of the material adhering to your 
hands, feet, or clothing should be rinsed off 
immediately.
•  A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom  of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
•  When a subject is viewed diagonally in the  camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on 
the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will 
be less noticeable in playback mode.
•  In places subject to low temperatures, the  monitor may take a long time to turn on or its 
color may change temporarily.
When using the camera in extremely cold 
places, it is a good idea to occasionally place 
it in a warm place. An monitor exhibiting poor 
performance due to low temperatures will 
recover in normal temperatures.
•  The monitor is made with high-precision  technology. However, black spots or bright 
spots of light may appear constantly on the 
monitor. 
Due to its characteristics or the angle at 
which you are viewing the monitor, the spot 
may not be uniform in color and brightness. 
This is not a malfunction.
Lens
•  Do not immerse in water or splash with water.
•  Do not drop or exert strong force on the lens.
•  Do not hold at the moving part of the lens.
