H. Cautions on Use
• This product was manufactured for use in the country in which it was 
purchased. The warranty is only valid in the country in which the camera was 
purchased.
• Should the product fail or malfunction while you are abroad, the 
manufacturer assumes no responsibility for servicing the product locally or 
bearing the expenditure incurred therefore.
• Be sure not to drop or apply any sudden force to the camera.
• Firing the flash consecutively may heat the firing unit. Do not fire it 
consecutively more than necessary.
• Do not fire the flash near eyes. It could cause visual impairment (particularly 
for infants).
• Do not fire the flash near the driver of a vehicle to avoid causing accidents.
• The batteries may become hot after extended use. Touching the batteries 
immediately after use could result in burns to your fingers.
• If the LCD monitor or panel is exposed to sunlight, they may become 
washed out and images may become hard to view.
• The LCD monitor and panel may contain some pixels that do not remain lit 
up continually in part or at all. Also, the brightness may become uneven 
because of the characteristics of LCDs. These are not failures.
• While you are carrying the camera, be careful not to hit it against other 
objects.
• In an environment where the temperature changes suddenly, condensation 
may occur in the camera, resulting in troubles such as fogging of the glass 
surface or malfunctions of the camera. If this occurs, place the camera in a 
bag to slow the temperature change as much as possible. Take it out of the 
bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere has decreased to 
a fairly small amount.
• To avoid damaging the connectors, do not put any objects into the camera’s 
microphone or speaker holes.
Note
Conditions in which condensation may easily occur:
• When the camera is moved to an environment where the temperature differs greatly.
• In humid places
• In a room immediately after being heated, or when the camera is exposed directly to cooled 
air from an air-conditioner or another similar appliance
