•Turn the camera off in places where camera use is prohibited.
The electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the operation of
electronic instruments and other devices. Exercise adequate caution when using the
camera in places where use of electronic devices is restricted, such as inside airplanes
and medical facilities.
•Do not play the supplied CD-ROM(s) in any CD player that does not support data

a CD-ROM played on an audio CD player (music player). Additionally, this could damage
the speakers.
Caution Denotes the possibility of injury.
•When holding the camera by the strap, be careful not to bang it, subject it to
strong impacts or shocks, or let it get caught on other objects.
•Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.
This could lead to injury or damage the camera.
•Be careful not to subject the screen to strong impacts.
If the screen cracks, injury may result from the broken fragments.

This could result in burns or damage to the flash.
•Avoid using, placing or storing the product in the following places:
-Places subject to strong sunlight
-Places subject to temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F)

Safety Precautions
7
•In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the flash.
This is due to the high intensity of the flash burning dust and foreign materials stuck to the
front of the unit. Please use a cotton swab to remove dirt, dust or other foreign matter from
the flash to prevent heat build-up and damage to the unit.
•Remove and store the battery when you are not using the camera.
If the battery is left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.
•Before you discard the battery, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators.
Contacting other metal materials may lead to fire or explosions.
•Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet after charging is complete, or
when you are not using it.
•Do not place anything, such as cloth, on top of the battery charger while it is
charging.
Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to overheat and distort,
resulting in fire.
•Do not place the battery near pets.
Pets biting the battery could cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire or
damage.
•Do not sit down with the camera in your pocket.
Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the screen.
•When putting the camera in your bag, ensure that hard objects do not come into
contact with the screen.
