• Keep young children and infants away from the camera.
• Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause serious injury:
• Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation.
• Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts.
• Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of another child.
• Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera.
• Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera.
• Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.
• Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.
• Use SD/SDHC memory cards only. Never use other types of cards. If you accidently insert another type of card into the camera, contact an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to remove the card by force. CAUTION

• Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it.
• Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may cause a fire or burn your hands.
• Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.
• Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high temperatures.
• Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch fire. Do not use the USB-AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire.

• Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature burn.
• When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a lowtemperature burn. Pay attention to the following:

• 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.
• Be careful with the strap.
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage. Battery Handling Precautions Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns. DANGER
