Observe the following precautions when handling
the camera and lens
• Keep the camera and lens unit dry. Failure to do so could result in fire or
electric shock.
• Do not handle or touch the camera or lens unit with wet hands. Failure to
do so could result in electric shock.
• When shooting with back-lighting, do not point the lens at the sun or
allow sunlight to pass directly down the lens as this may cause the camera
to overheat and possibly cause a fire.
• When the lens will not be used for an extended period of time, attach both
front and rear lens caps and store the lens away from direct sunlight.
Failure to do so could result in a fire, as the lens may focus sunlight onto a
flammable object.
