Water entering the inside of the camera
may cause malfunctions, which in some
cases may not be repairable.
Do not aim the camera at the sun or
other bright light. It may cause the
malfunction of your camera.
Clean the flash surface before use. The
heat of flash emission may cause dirt on
the flash surface to become discoloured
or to stick to the flash surface, resulting
in insufficient light emission.

the camera in the back pocket of your
trousers or skirt, as this may cause

hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note
