to the subject’s eyes could cause a momentary
loss of vision.
Keep young children and infants 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.
Accidentally

or those of another child.
Accidentally being injured by the moving parts
of the camera.
Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the
camera.
Do not use or store the camera in dusty or
humid places.

the camera, contact an authorized distributor or
service center. Do not try to remove the card by
force.
CAUTION
Stop using the camera immediately if you
notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke
around it.
Never remove the batteries with bare hands,
which may cause a
fi

Do not leave the camera in places where it may
be subject to extremely high temperatures.
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in
some circumstances, cause the camera to catch
fi

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
