close to your subject’s eyes, may cause eyesight damage. Do not attempt to photograph

children using a flash closer than 1 meter proximity.

When taking photographs, never point the lens of the camera directly into very strong

light. This may result in permanent damage to the camera or your eyesight.

Please do not use this product in close proximity to flammable or explosive gases, as this

could increase the risk of explosion.

For safety reasons keep this product and accessories out of reach of children or animals

to prevent accidents e.g.:

Swallowing batteries or small camera accessories.

In case of accidents, please consult a doctor immediately.

There is a risk of permanent eye damage if the flash is operated at a distance of less
