precautions described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.
Do not aim the camera directly into the sun or other intense light sources which could
damage your eyesight.

children. Eye damage may result. In particular, remain at least one meter away from
infants when using 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.

prevent accidents or damage to the camera.
If you notice smoke or a strange odor coming from the camera, turn the power off
immediately. Take the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair.
