USING YOUR CAMERA SAFELY AND CORRECTLY WARNING i Do not use where there is risk of explosion e Do not use the camera in a location where there is explosive gas, or any other flammable material in the air. Doing so may cause a fire or an explosion. i Keep the camera out of the reach of children e The following may happen if children play with the camera: d They may wrap the strap around their neck and suffocate. d They may swallow the battery pack or other small parts. In such a case, consult a physician immediately. d They may damage their eyesight if the flash goes off too close to their eyes. d They may get hurt by the camera. CAUTION i Cautions when carrying the camera e Do not walk around holding the camera by the handstrap. It may hit other objects and get damaged. When walking around, hold the camera in your hand or place it in a pocket. e Be careful not to drop the camera or subject it to strong shocks. e Make sure direct sunlight does not hit the camera lens, as that may damage the internal parts. When not using the camera, be sure to always turn it off and close the lens cover. i If the camera is not going to be used for a long period of time e For safety's sake, remove the battery pack from the camera. This will prevent any possible excess heat or leakage of battery fluid that may result in injuries or damage to nearby objects. (Note that when the battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings will be cleared.) 9 English
