CAUTION • Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it. • Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a fire or burn your hands. • Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. • Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high temperatures. • Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch fire. Do not use the charger or USB-AC adapter (sold separately) if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire. • Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature burn. • When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following: • When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused. • In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the camera's body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures. • Be careful with the strap. • Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.
