- When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.

- In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the camera's body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures.
