Notes on using your camera
Along with this section, also see 
“Precautions” in the Help Guide.
Notes on handling the product
• This camera is designed to be dust 
resistant and splash resistant, but 
it is not guaranteed to completely 
prevent the ingress of dust or water 
droplets.
• Do not leave the lens or the 
viewfinder exposed to a strong light 
source such as sunlight. Because 
of the lens’s condensing function, 
doing so may cause smoke, fire, or 
a malfunction inside the camera 
body or the lens. If you have to 
leave the camera exposed to a light 
source such as sunlight, attach the 
lens cap to the lens.
• When you shoot with backlighting, 
keep the sun sufficiently far away 
from the angle of view. Otherwise, 
the sunlight may enter the focus 
inside the camera and cause smoke 
or fire. Even if the sun is slightly 
away from the angle of view, it may 
still cause smoke or fire.
• Do not directly expose the lens to 
beams such as laser beams. That 
may damage the image sensor and 
cause the camera to malfunction.
• Do not look at sunlight or a strong 
light source through the lens when 
it is detached. This may result in 
unrecoverable damage to the eyes.
• Do not leave the camera, the 
supplied accessories, or memory 
cards within the reach of infants. 
They may be accidentally 
swallowed. If this occurs, consult a 
doctor immediately.
Notes on the monitor and 
electronic viewfinder
• The monitor and electronic 
viewfinder are manufactured 
using extremely high-precision 
technology, and over 99.99% of the 
pixels are operational for effective 
use. However, there may be some 
small black dots and/or bright 
dots (white, red, blue or green in 
color) that constantly appear on the 
monitor and electronic viewfinder. 
These dots are normal due to the 
manufacturing process and do not 
affect the images in any way.
• When shooting with the viewfinder, 
you may experience symptoms 
such as eyestrain, fatigue, 
travel sickness, or nausea. We 
recommend that you take a break 
at regular intervals when you are 
shooting with the viewfinder.
• If the monitor or electronic 
viewfinder is damaged, stop using 
the camera immediately. The 
damaged parts may harm your 
hands, face, etc.
Notes on continuous shooting
During continuous shooting, the 
monitor or viewfinder may flash 
between the shooting screen and a 
black screen. If you keep watching 
the screen in this situation, you may 
experience uncomfortable symptoms 
such as feeling of unwellness. If you 
experience uncomfortable symptoms, 
stop using the camera, and consult 
your doctor as necessary.
