an increased risk of leakage. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous
membranes. If these areas come into contact with battery acid, rinse them
immediately with plenty of clean water and contact a doctor immediately.
Preventing damage to the eyes
Do not use the flash close to anyone’s eyes.
When using the camera function do not direct the flash towards the eyes of

been moved from a cold environment to a warm room. The device can
safely be connected for charging as soon as the unit has reached room
temperature.
Do not use or store the camcorder in direct sunlight or at high temperatures.
At low temperatures the capacity of the battery can drop
significantly due to the reduced speed of the chemical reactions.
When recording in cold weather keep a second battery pack in
reserve in a warm place (e.g. trouser pocket).At low temperatures
the capacity of the battery can drop significantly due to the
