Of the batteries that can be used in this camera, only the Ni-MH battery can be recharged. • Do not place your finger on the flash when it is discharging as there is a risk of burns. • Do not discharge the flash while it is touching your clothing as there is a risk of discoloring. • If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with your eyes, do not rub them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical attention immediately. • If any of the battery leakage should come in contact with skin or clothes, wash the affected areas thoroughly with water. • Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot or begins to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal. • Some portions of the camera heat up during use, so please take care, as there is a risk of low temperature burns if such portions are held for long periods of time. • Should the LCD be damaged, be careful of glass fragments. Also, be careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin or eyes or in your mouth. 2
