10
Safety Precautions
• Turn the camera off in places where camera use is prohibited.
The electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the
operation of electronic instruments and other devices. Exercise adequate
caution when using the camera in places where use of electronic devices is
restricted, such as inside airplanes and medical facilities.
• Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not
support data CD-ROMs.
It is possible to suffer hearing loss from listening with headphones to the
loud sounds of a CD-ROM played on an audio CD player (music player).
Additionally, this could damage the speakers.
Caution
• When holding the camera by the strap, be careful not to bang it,
subject it to strong impacts or shocks, or let it get caught on other
objects.
• Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.
This could lead to injury or damage the camera.

• When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful
not to allow dust or sand to enter the camera.
This may cause the product to malfunction.
• In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the
flash.
This is due to the high intensity of the flash burning dust and foreign
materials stuck to the front of the unit. Please use a cotton swab to remove
dirt, dust or other foreign matter from the flash to prevent heat build-up and
damage to the unit.
• Remove and store the batteries when you are not using the camera.
If the batteries are left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may
occur.
• Before you discard the batteries, cover the terminals with tape or
other insulators.
Contacting other metal materials may lead to fire or explosions.
• Do not charge batteries of different types at the same time, or use
older batteries together with newer batteries.
• Do not insert the batteries with the + and – terminals reversed.
This may cause the product to malfunction.
• When putting the camera in your bag, ensure that hard objects do
not come into contact with the screen.
• Do not attach any hard objects to the camera.
