ensure that the lens is in the stored position, with lens cap on.
•There are times when rattling sounds or vibrations will come from
the camera, but these are due to the motion of the aperture, the
zoom and the motor and do not indicate a defect.
This camera is not dust/splash/water proof.
Avoid using the camera in places with a lot of dust, water, sand,
etc.
•Liquid, sand and other foreign material may get into the space around
the lens, buttons, etc. Be particularly careful since it may not just cause
