SAFETY INFORMATION

Thank you for purchasing this camera. Before use, please read the safety information and precautions

contained in the following sections to ensure safe use of this product.

• Never operate the camera inside of an aircraft or anywhere else where operation of such devices are

restricted. Improper use creates the risk of serious accident.

• Do not aim the camera directly at the sun or other intense light sources which could damage your eyesight.

• Do not try to open the case of the camera or attempt to modify this camera in any way. High-voltage internal

components create the risk of electric shock when exposed. Maintenance and repairs should be carried out

only by authorized service providers.

• Flashing too closely at the eyes of animals or people, especially youngsters, may cause eyesight damage.

Ensure that the camera is at least one meter (approx. 3.3 feet) away from infants when using the flash.

• Keep the camera away from water and other liquids. Do not use the camera with wet hands. Never use the

camera in the rain or snow. Moisture creates the danger of fire and electric shock.

• Keep the camera and its accessories out of the reach of children and animals to prevent accidents or

damage to the camera.

• If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the camera, turn the power OFF immediately and unplug

the AC adapter from the power outlet. Take the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair.

Never attempt to repair the camera yourself.

• Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not stated or recommended for this

equipment may lead to overheating, distortion of the equipment, fire, electrical shock or other hazards.

• Never apply too much force when cleaning the surface of the lens. Doing so could scratch the surface of the

lens, thereby reducing the quality of pictures or even the possibility of malfunction.

• The camera may become slightly warm during usage. This does not indicate malfunction.

• If the exterior of the camera needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft-dust-free, dry cloth.

IMPORTANT!

• Image recording may not be performed if the shutter release button is pressed while the red operation LED is blinking.

•You may not be able to achieve the desired results using a flash if the subject is too close or too far away.

About Red-eye Reduction

Using the flash to record at night or in a room with dim lighting can cause recorded images to show red spots on the eyes of people. This is due to light emitted from the flash reflecting off of the retina of the eye. When red-eye reduction is selected as the flash mode, the camera performs two pre-flash operations: the first flash is for triggering the irises to close, then the second flash is for Auto Focus operation. And the final flash is for the actual recording of the image.

The flash flashes automatically as required by the imagetaking environment’s lighting level.

The flash is disabled, so it does not flash.

The flash is enabled, so it would flash regardless of lighting level.

The flash flashes automatically as required by the imagetaking environment’s lighting level, and the flash prestrobes before shooting to account for the red-eye phenomenon.
