Precautions

General precautions

•Do not use or store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas,

as its components may be damaged.

•Do not store the product in a hot environment. High

temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage

batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.

•Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product

warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside;

this may damage the electronic circuits.

•Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs.

High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric

shock when exposed.

•Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may

damage the internal components.

•Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong

detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a

slightly damp soft cloth.

•Do not fire the flash while it is too close to the subject's eyes.

Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired

too close to the eyes. When using the flash, the camera should

be at least one meter from the eyes of the subject.

•Do not open the battery cover while an image is being

recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current

image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already

stored in file.

•If the product or any of its accessories are not working

properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center.

The personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange

for the product to be repaired.

•Test for proper operation before using the camera.

viii

•Before using the camera to record images, make sure you first

record a number of test images and check the results to ensure

that the camera is configured correctly and operating properly

(refer to 2 Getting started).

then rinse with a large amount of water.

•If the fluid makes contact with eyes, wash eyes with clean

water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical

attention.

•If the fluid is swallowed, first rinse mouth with water, then

drink a large amount of water and induce vomiting. Seek

immediate medical attention.
