Warning

• Do not trigger the flash in close proximity to people’s eyes.

Exposure to the intense light produced by the flash could damage eyesight. In particular, remain at least 1 meter (3.3 feet) away from infants when using the flash.

• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants.

A strap wound around a child’s neck may result in asphyxiation. If your product uses a power cord, mistakenly winding the cord around a child’s neck may result in asphyxiation.

• Use only recommended power sources.

• Do not disassemble, alter

This could result in electrical shock or fire. Immediately stop using the product and distance yourself from it.

• Use only the recommended battery pack/batteries.

• Do not place the battery pack/batteries near or in direct flame.

This may cause the battery pack/batteries to explode or leak, resulting in electrical shock, fire, or injuries. If leaking battery electrolyte comes into contact with eyes, mouth, skin, or clothing, immediately flush with water.

• If the product uses a battery charger, note the following precautions.

- Remove the plug periodically and, using a dry cloth, wipe away

any dust and dirt that has collected on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet, and the surrounding area.

- Do not insert or remove the plug with wet hands.

- Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated

capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if the plug is damaged or not fully inserted in the outlet.

- Do not allow dust or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact

• When using the flash, be careful not to cover it with your fingers or

clothing.

This could result in burns or damage to the flash.

• Avoid using, placing, or storing the product in the following places:

- Places subject to direct sunlight

- Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)

- Humid or dusty places

These could cause leakage, overheating, or an explosion of the battery pack/batteries, resulting in electrical shock, fire, burns, or other injuries. Overheating and damage may result in electrical shock, fire, burns, or other injuries.

• The slideshow transition effects may cause discomfort when viewed

for prolonged periods.

• When using optional lenses, lens filters, or filter adapters (if

applicable), be sure to attach these accessories firmly.

• Unplug any battery charger used with the product when not in use.

Do not cover with a cloth or other objects when in use.

Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.

• Do not leave any dedicated battery packs near pets.

Pets biting the battery pack could cause leakage, overheating, or explosion, resulting in product damage or fire.

• If your product uses multiple batteries, do not use batteries that

have different levels of charge together, and do not use old and new batteries together. Do not insert the batteries with the + and – terminals reversed.

This may cause the product to malfunction.

• Do not sit down with the camera in your pant pocket.
