shock.
7
Battery
z Do not place the battery near a heat source or expose it to
direct flame or heat.
z The battery should not be immersed in water or sea water.zDo not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the
battery.
zAvoid dropping or subjecting the battery to severe impacts
that could damage the casing.
zUse only recommended battery and accessories.
Use of battery not expressly recommended for this equipment may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing contact these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance.
zDisconnect the battery charger and compact power adapter
from boththe camera and the power outlet after recharging or when they are not in use to avoid fire and other hazards.
zDo not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets,
bedding or cushions, on top of the battery charger while it is charging.
Leaving the units plugged in for a long period of time may cause them to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.
zUse onlythe specified battery charger tocharge the battery.zThe battery charger and compact power adapter are

or other insulators to prevent direct contact with other
8
objects.
Contact with the metallic components of other materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions.
Others
z Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to human or
animal eyes. Exposure to the intense light produced by the
flash may damage eyesight.
In particular, remain at least one meter (39 inches) away from
infants when using the flash.
zKeep objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as
credit cards) away from the speaker of the camera.
Such items may lose data or stop working.
Cautions
Equipment
zBe careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong
impacts or shocks that could lead to injury or damage the equipment when wearing or holding it by the strap.
zDo not store the equipment in humid or dusty areas.zDo not allow metal objects (such as pins orkeys) or dirt to
contact the charger terminals or plug.
Such conditions could lead to fire, electrical shock or other damage.
zAvoid using, placing or storing the equipment in places
subject to strong sunlight or high temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk (boot) of a car.
zDo not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the
rated capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if the power cord or plug are damaged, or if not fully plugged into the outlet.
zDo not use in locations with poor ventilation.
The above-mentioned can cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire, burns or other injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.
zWhen not using the camera for extended periods of time,
remove the battery from the camera or battery charger and
store the equipment in a safe place.
The battery can run down.
9
Equipment
z Do not connect compact power adapters or battery
chargers to devices such as electrical transformers for
foreign travel because it may lead to malfunctions,
excessive heat generation, fire, electric shock or injury.
Flash
zDo not operate the flash with dirt, dust orother items stuck
to the surface of the flash.
zBe careful not to cover the flash with your fingersor
clothing when shooting.
The flash may be damaged and emit smoke or noise. The resulting heat build-up could damage the flash.

pictures in rapid succession.
Doing so could result in burns.
10
Preventing Malfunctions
Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
z Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors
or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields.
Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems
zWhen moving the equipment rapidly from a cold place to a
hot place, you can avoid condensation by placing the equipmentin an airtight, resealable plastic bag andletting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
Moving the equipment rapidly from a cold place to a hot place may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
zStop using the camera immediately.
Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the memory card and battery or compact power adapter from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
