2.1 WARNINGS

Warning!
Do not place cables between camera and computer so that there is a risk for people to trip and fall. This can cause personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Warning!
If you use spare battery packs, make sure to use protective caps on the contacts. The contacts can short-circuit and catch re if not protected. This can cause personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Warning!
Do not expose batteries (battery pack and batteries installed) to excessive heat such as sunshine, re or similar. If exposed, the batteries can catch re. This can cause personal injury, damage to the equipment and the surrounding environment.
Warning!
Be careful when working with strobe and ash units. This will prevent personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
and humid condition from dry and cold condition. Wait until the equipment has acclimatized to the new temperature before you remove the equipment from bag. This will help prevent damage to the equipment.
Caution!
Avoid frequent and high temperature changes. This can cause damage to the equipment.
Caution!
Keep camera and equipment away from moisture. If your camera becomes wet, disconnect from electric power and let camera dry before further use. This will help prevent damage to the equipment.
Caution!
Store the equipment in a dry environment. This will help prevent damage to the equipment.
Caution!
Be careful when you attach/detach the components to/from the camera. This will help prevent damage to the data bus connections.

2.2 CAUTIONS

Caution!
Be careful when you use the camera. The camera is a precision instrument. This will help prevent damage to the camera.
Caution!
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Caution!
Do not use batteries other than specied. This can cause damage to the batteries.
Caution!
Use protective covers as much as possible. The protective covers will help prevent damage to the equipment.
Caution!
Use a protective case or camera bag when you transport the equipment. This will help prevent damage to the equipment.
Caution!
Protect the equipment from oil fumes, steam, humid conditions and dust. This will help prevent damage to the equipment.
Caution!
Seal all equipment in a plastic bag or similar if you enter damp
Caution!
Use the grip or strap when you lift and handle to camera. This will help prevent damage to the camera.
Caution!

Caution!
Do not touch the glass surface with your ngers. This can cause damage to the equipment.
Caution!
Do not touch the CMOS/Sensor with your ngers. This can cause damage to the equipment.
Caution!
When you remove the sensor unit, keep foreign objects away from the camera opening. The camera opening is very sensitive. This will help prevent damage to the equipment.
Caution!
When you remove the sensor unit, make sure to be careful with the CMOS sensor protective lter. The CMOS sensor protective lter is very sensitive. This will help prevent damage to the equipment.
