Be especially careful because these conditions may damage the camera, and such damage may not be repairable. • In extremely dusty or sandy places • In the rain or by the shore, where the camera may be exposed to water If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the monitor, wipe them off with a dry soft cloth. ●Not doing so may cause the monitor to respond incorrectly to touch operations. Do not place your hands inside the mount of the digital camera body. Since the sensor unit is a precision apparatus, it may cause a malfunction or damage. If you shake the camera while it is turned off, its sensors may move or a rattling sound may be heard. The sound is caused by the In-Body Image Stabilizer, and this is not a malfunction.
