Important safety instructions
Battery information
Caution
Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace

such as vases, shall be placed on it.
• Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire, or the like.

• Use only the provided batteries or the types of
batteries specified in this manual with your
camera. Using other types of batteries may
damage the camera and invalidate the warranty.

Inserting batteries upside down can cause
damage to the product and possibly cause an
explosion.
• When the camera is used for an extended period
of time, it is normal for the camera body to feel
warm.
• Download all pictures and remove the batteries
from the camera if you are going to store the
camera for a long period of time.
• If battery power runs down while the lens is
extended, the camera may not have enough
power to retract the lens. Replace the batteries,
and then press the power button twice until the
lens retracts.
