Welcome

Thank you for choosing the Camera to pursue your DSC.

Whether you are creating memories of your friends and family or exploring the great outdoors to get the utmost satisfaction from your DSC, please take a moment to read through this manual. Its contents will send you on an educational journey into your camera's multiple capabilities.

1. Camera Precaution

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.
