Danger

Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or alter the camera yourself. The high-voltage circuitry in the camera poses significant electrical hazard.

Warning

Turn off the power immediately if any metallic object, water, liquid, or other foreign object gets into the camera. And contact the nearest service center. Do not continue using the camera if it has a failure or malfunction.

Keep the camera out of the reach of children. Young children cannot understand the information in Safety Precautions and Cautions on Use, which may cause an accident.

Do not touch the internal components of the camera if they become exposed as a result of being dropped or damaged. The high-voltage circuitry in the camera poses significant electrical hazard. Contact your nearest dealer or service center if it is damaged.

Do not use the camera near flammable gases, gasoline, benzine, thinner, or similar substances to avoid the risk of explosion, fire, or burns.
