Denotes the possibility of serious injury or death (Warning):

• Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. A strap wound around a child’s neck may result in asphyxiation.
• If your product uses a power cord, mistakenly winding the cord around a child’s neck may result in asphyxiation.
• Use only recommended power sources.
• Do not disassemble, alter, or apply heat to the product.
• Do not peel off the adhesive covering, if the battery pack has it.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the product to severe impacts.
• Do not touch the interior of the product if it is broken, such as when dropped.
• Stop using the product immediately if it emits smoke or a strange smell, or otherwise behaves abnormally.
• Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner to clean the product.
• Avoid contact with liquid, and do not allow liquid or foreign objects inside. This could result in electrical shock or fire.
• If the product gets wet, or if liquid or foreign objects get inside, remove the battery pack/batteries or unplug immediately.
• If your model has a viewfinder or interchangeable lens, do not look through the viewfinder or lens at bright light sources (such as the sun on a clear day, or a bright artificial light source). This may damage your eyesight.
• If your model has an interchangeable lens, do not leave the lens (or the camera with the lens attached) in the sun without the lens cap on. This could result in a fire.
• Do not touch the product during thunderstorms if it is plugged in. This could result in electrical shock or fire. Immediately stop using the product and distance yourself from it.
• Use only the recommended battery pack/batteries.
• Do not place the battery pack/batteries near or in direct flame. This may cause the battery pack/batteries to explode or leak, resulting in electrical shock, fire, or injuries. If leaking battery electrolyte comes into contact with eyes, mouth, skin, or clothing, immediately flush with water.
• If the product uses a battery charger, note the following precautions:
  • Remove the plug periodically and, using a dry cloth, wipe away any dust and dirt that has collected on the plug, the exterior of the power outlet, and the surrounding area.
  • Do not insert or remove the plug with wet hands.
  • Do not use the equipment in a manner that exceeds the rated capacity of the electrical outlet or wiring accessories. Do not use if the plug is damaged or not fully inserted in the outlet.
  • Do not allow dust or metal objects (such as pins or keys) to contact the terminals or plug.
  • Do not cut, damage, alter, or place heavy items on the power cord, if your product uses one. This could result in electrical shock or fire.

Turn the camera off in places where camera use is prohibited. The electromagnetic waves emitted by the camera may interfere with the operation of electronic instruments and other devices. Exercise adequate caution when using the product in places where use of electronic devices is restricted, such as inside airplanes and medical facilities.

Do not allow the camera to maintain contact with skin for extended periods. Even if the camera does not feel hot, this may cause low-temperature burns, manifested in redness of the skin or blistering. Use a tripod in hot places, or if you have poor circulation or insensitive skin.
