SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the followingsafety instructions to prevent personal injury or damage to the ZX1 camera.
Safety and handling
Do not point the camera directly toward bright light, e. g. the sun. This may lead to serious
eye injuries.
Do not fire the flash near the eyes, close to the skin, or other objects. This may lead to
serious eye injuries or burns.
Do not push hard on the lens or the back display. This may lead to cuts and skin irritation.
Immediately stop using the camera if it smells odd or starts giving off smoke. Continued use
may lead to physical injury.
Use and store the camera only in temperatures ranging between 0 °C and 40 °C and a
humidity of less than 85 %.
WARNING –Danger of injury.
Keep the camera out of the reach of children. Children could choke on small parts; risk of
strangulation from the camera strap or a cable.
Do not fire the flash near the eyes of other people. This may lead to eye injuries.
Do not fire the flash close to the skin or other objects. This may lead to burns.
Do not directly look through the electronic viewfinder in bright light, e. g. the sun. This may
lead to eye injuries.
If you come into contact with leaking battery electrolyte
(e. g. eyes, mouth, skin, and clothing), immediately rinse with water. This may lead to
chemical burns and eye injuries.
Do not push hard on the lens. This may lead to cuts and damage the camera.
Do not push hard on the back display. This may lead to skin irritation due to leaking liquid
crystal or damage the camera.
