This may cause lens or shutter curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on the image pickup device, or may possibly cause fires. • Do not push or pull severely on the lens. • Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the batteries. Select a cool, dry location for storage to prevent condensation or mold from forming inside the camera.
