Safety warning and notice
Before operating the camera, please make sure that you read and fully understand the
content in this section. If you ignore and violate all safety warning notices indicated in
this section, the camera warranty may be void. Meanwhile, not only the camera but
also you and all other people and things around you may be severely damaged, injured,
or even placed in danger of death.
For your safety
• Keep the camera and its accessories out of the reach of babies, toddlers, and children.
In particular, small parts such as memory cards and batteries could be easily
dismantled and swallowed by them.
• Use only the original accessories to avoid possible risks to health and property, and
thus meet all related legal regulations.
• Do not dismantle the camera under any circumstances.
• When using the flash, do not go too close to human eyes (particularly for babies,
toddlers, and children) or animal eyes. Otherwise, when the flash fires, the light may
cause damage to human eyes or irritate animals.
• Use only the specified batteries. Otherwise you risk serious damage to health and
property. The battery could explode, for instance. All batteries can cause property
damage, injury or burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded
chains touch exposed terminals. The material may complete an electrical circuit and
become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when
placing it inside your pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Do not
dispose of batteries in fire as they may explode.
• To prevent electric shock, do not attempt to disassemble or repair your camera by
yourself.
• Some camera models accept non-rechargeable batteries. When using these batteries,
do not charge them. Otherwise, dangers such as explosion and fire may occur.
Warranty
• Warranty is void if damage or system failure occurred due to outside factors such as
collision, fire, flood, dirt, sewage, earthquake, and other force majeure events as well
as incorrect usage of electricity or use of non-original accessories.
• It is the sole responsibility of the user if problems (such as data loss and system
failure) occurred due to non-factory installed software, parts, and/or non-original
accessories.
• Do not change the camera. Any changes to the camera invalidate the warranty.
Taking care of your camera
• Always keep the camera in the accompanying leather case or pouch for better
protection against splashes, dust, and collision.
• The only way of replacing the battery and the memory card is to open the Battery /
Memory card cover.
• Dispose of unwanted batteries and cameras as permitted by the laws in your
countries.
• Water may cause a fire or electric shock. Therefore, store your camera in a dry place.
• If your camera becomes wet, wipe it with a dry cloth as soon as possible.
• Salt or seawater may cause severe camera damage.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the camera. A rude behavior of using the camera may
damage the internal electronic circuit board, deform the lens shape, or make the lens
unretractable.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
camera.
• Finger grease may be left on the camera lens and will result in unclear images or
videos. To avoid this problem, be sure to clean the camera lens before taking pictures
or recording videos. You should also clean the camera lens on a regular basis.
• If the lens is dirty, use a lens brush or soft cloth to clean the lens.
• Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
• If a foreign substance or water gets in your camera, please turn the power off
immediately and disconnect the battery and the power adapter. Next, remove the
foreign substance or water and send it to the maintenance center.
• Whenever there is data in the internal memory or the external memory card, you
should make a backup copy to a computer or disc. So, you can have a backup
solution if data loss occurs.
• If the lens cannot retract into the camera, please replace the battery first (usually this
is because of a drained battery). Then the lens should retract automatically. If the
lens still cannot retract, please contact your dealer.
• Under no circumstances should you push the lens back manually as this may
damage the camera.
• All original accessories are designed only for use with this camera model you
purchased. Do not use these accessories to other camera models or cameras of other
brands to avoid unpredictable danger or damage.
• Before initial use of a memory card, always format the card first using the camera.
• Remember to slide the write-protect tab (if available) to the unlock position.
Otherwise, all data (if any) on the memory card is protected and the card cannot be
edited or formatted.
Operating environment
• Do not use or store your camera in the environments listed below:
• Direct sunlight
• Dusty places
• Next to an air conditioner, electric heater or other heat sources
• In a closed car that is in direct sunlight
• Unstable locations
• Do not use your camera outdoors when it is raining or snowing.
• Do not use your camera in or near water.
• The camera operating temperature is between 0 and 40 degrees Celsius. It is normal
for the operating time to be shortened when the temperature is low.
• The capacity of your camera battery will reduce each time it is charged/emptied.
Storage at too high or low temperatures will also result in a gradual capacity loss. As
a result, the operating time of your camera may be considerably reduced, even after a
full recharge of the battery.
• It is normal for the camera to become warm during operation, because the camera
casing can conduct heat.
Do not hold the camera by excessive
force. Plus, be sure to protect the
camera from strong impacts.
To avoid accidental falling, please attach
the hand strap to the camera and always
hold the camera by keeping the hand
strap around your wrist.
If the batteries suddenly depleted and
caused the lens fail to retract, please
carefully protect the lens to avoid
collision and insert batteries with full
power ASAP.
Keep your camera away from sharp
objects and avoid collision.
When the camera is not in use, always
turn the power off and make sure the
lens has retracted successfully before
storing the camera in its case. If you do
not intend to use the camera for a long
time, please remove the batteries
from the camera and store the batteries
carefully.
When the camera is not in use, please
place it in a steady place. Plus, always
keep your camera away from pressure
or any other similar environment
(for example, in a pant pocket) to
avoid possible damage.
