WEEENotice
The directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which entered
into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major change in the
treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life.
The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and in
addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes
so as to reduce disposal.
The WEEE logo (shown at the left) on the product or its box indicates that
this product must not be disposed of or dumped with your other household
waste. You are liable to dispose of all your electronic or electrical waste
equipment by relocating over to the specified collection point for recycling
of such hazardous waste. Isolated collection and proper recovery of your
electronic and electrical waste equipment at the time of disposal will allow us to help
conserving natural resources. Moreover, proper recycling of the electronic and
electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of human health and environment. For
more information about electronic and electrical waste equipment disposal, recovery,
and collection points, please contact your local city centre, household waste disposal
service, shop from where you purchased the equipment, or manufacturer of the

Cleaning the camera lensand mirror
For an optimal quality image, it is recommended toensure that thecamera lens
and object light mirror are kept clean. A dirty lens will result in a fuzzy image
and may cause the auto focus camera to incorrectly focus. A clean object light
mirror is important for preventing dark or light spots and to ensure an equally
lighted image. To clean the camera lens and mirror, use the included cleaning
cloth or another soft lens cleaning cloth.
Note: Do not use water ora cleaning agent to clean the lensand mirror.
