Notes on using your camera Along with this section, also see "Precautions" in the Help Guide. Notes on handling the product ••This camera is designed to be dust resistant and splash resistant, but it is not guaranteed to completely prevent the ingress of dust or water droplets. ••Do not leave the lens or the viewfinder exposed to a strong light source such as sunlight. Because of the lens's condensing function, doing so may cause smoke, fire, or a malfunction inside the camera body or the lens. If you have to leave the camera exposed to a light source such as sunlight, attach the lens cap to the lens. ••When you shoot with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently far away from the angle of view. Otherwise, the sunlight may focus inside the camera and cause smoke or fire. Even if the sun is slightly away from the angle of view, it may still cause smoke or fire. ••Do not directly expose the lens to beams such as laser beams. That may damage the image sensor and cause the camera to malfunction. ••Do not look at sunlight or a strong light source through the lens when it is detached. This may result in unrecoverable damage to the eyes. ••Do not leave the camera, the supplied accessories, or memory cards within the reach of infants. They may be accidentally swallowed. If this occurs, consult a doctor immediately. Notes on the monitor and electronic viewfinder ••The monitor and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, and over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some small black dots and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the monitor and electronic viewfinder. These dots are normal due to the manufacturing process and do not affect the images in any way. ••When shooting with the viewfinder, you may experience symptoms such as eyestrain, fatigue, travel sickness, or nausea. We recommend that you take a break at regular intervals when you are shooting with the viewfinder. ••If the monitor or electronic viewfinder is damaged, stop using the camera immediately. The damaged parts may harm your hands, face, etc. Notes on continuous shooting During continuous shooting, the monitor or viewfinder may flash between the shooting screen and a black screen. If you keep watching the screen in this situation, you may experience uncomfortable symptoms such as feeling of unwellness. If you experience uncomfortable symptoms, stop using the camera, and consult your doctor as necessary. GB 11
