• Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt. 
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry off 
any rain or water drops.

or malfunction.
• Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using a 
tripod.

CMOS sensor. (This will involve a fee.)

place.

electricity or electrical interference.
