Safety Information 
1. Do not disassemble the camera. Touching the products 
internal parts could result in injury. In the event of a 
malfunction or if the camera is accidentally broken 
open, take the product to an authorized service center 
for inspection. 
2. Avoid contact with liquid crystal. Should the LCD Screen 
break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to 
broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from 
touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth. 
3. Do not use in the presence of flammable gas. Using 
electronic equipment near flammable gas could result 
in explosion or fire. 
4. Observe proper precautions when handling batteries. 
The camera uses only AA Alkaline, NiMH, or Lithium 
batteries. Batteries may leak or explode if handled 
improperly. Remove the batteries (and the memory 
card) from the camera if you are going to store the 
camera for extended periods. Ensure the camera is 
turned off before inserting or removing batteries. Insert 
batteries correctly. Do not expose batteries to flame or 
excessive heat. Do not immerse batteries in or expose 
to water. Discontinue use immediately if you notice any 
changes in the battery such as discoloration, 
deformation, or leakage.  
5. Observe caution when operating the flash. Do not use 
the flash close to anyones eyes. This can cause 
temporary damage to eyesight. Particular care should 
be observed when photographing infants - keep the 
flash at a distance of at least 1 meter from infants eyes.
