PRECAUTIONS

®

Do

not

aim

the

camera

lens

at

extremely

bright

objects

such

as

the

sun

or

other

strong

light

sources

even

when

not

in

use

or

switchéd

off

as

well

as

during

shooting

or

recording.

Incorrect

use

could

damage

the

pickup

tube.

Always

be

sure

to

keep

the

lens

capped

except

during

shooting.

®@

Do

not

shoot

luminous

bodies

such

as

metal

objects,

etc.

which

reflect

light,

as

this

can

result

in

not

only

bad

pictures

but

damage,

etc.

@

Select

a

light

which

generates

less

heat

and

prevent

its

beam

from

shining

directly

on

the

camera.

Otherwise

heat

from

the

light

may

deform

the

camera

body

or

components,

or

cause

malfunctioning.

Apply

power

and

operate

the

camera

1

or

2

hours

every

6

months.

The

pickup

tube

will

lose

efficiency

with

age

if

the

camera

is

not

used

for

too

long

time.

®

Do

not

disassemble

any

part

of

the

camera;

high

voltages

are

developed

in

some

parts

of

the

camera

and

it

is

dangerous

to

touch

them

because

of

the

possibility

of

electric

shock.

®

Do

not

allow

inflammable

objects,

metal

objects

or

water

to

get

inside

the

camera,

as

these

can

cause

damage

or

mat!functioning.

®

Do

not

try

to

tighten

or

loosen

the

screws

in

the

several

servicing

holes

of

the

camera

body

and

viewfinder.

These

are

only

for

experienced

service

personnel.

Avoid

using

the

camera

in

places

where

it

is

excessively

hot,

humid

or

cold

or

where

there

are

strong

electric

waves

and

magnetic

fields

which

can

create

electrical

noise,

or

where

it

is

liable

to

catch

fire.

Be

careful

not

to

subject

the

camera

to

excessive

shock

or

vibration,

as

these

could

cause

distorted

pictures,

damage

or

mal-

functioning.

@

Do

not

leave

the

camera

inside

a

parked

car

as

the

tem-

perature

can

become

extremely

high

when

exposed

directly

to

the

sun

with

the

doors

shut.

This

can

cause

plastic

parts

tobe

deformed

and

result

in

matfunctioning.
