Welcome

¾ Thank you for choosing the Camera to pursue your digital adventures. Whether you are

creating memories of your friends and family or exploring the great outdoors to get the

utmost satisfaction from your digital camera, please take a moment to read through this

manual. Its contents will send you on an educational journey into your camera's multiple

capabilities.

Safety Information

Before using the camera, please ensure that you read and understand the safety precautions

described below. Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly.

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

such devices is restricted. Improper use creates the risk of serious accident.

• Do not aim the camera directly into 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.

• Do not fire the flash too close to the eyes of animals or people, especially for young

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.

• 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. Take the camera to the nearest authorized service center for repair.

Never attempt to repair the camera on your own.

• Use only the recommended power accessories. Use of power sources not expressly

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 can

scratch the lens surface and cause malfunction.

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

malfunction.

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