Always ensure that the camera is operated correctly. The safety precautions noted on the following pages are intended to instruct you in the safe and correct operation of the camera and its accessories to prevent injuries or damage to yourself, other persons and equipment. In the next few pages, the term "equipment" refers primarily to the camera and its power supply accessories (see the System Map for power supply accessory details). Storing memory cards Store the memory card out of the reach of children and infants. It may be swallowed accidentally. If this occurs, consult a doctor immediately.

Store this equipment out of the reach of children and infants. Accidental damage to the camera or batteries by a child could result in serious injury. In addition, placement of the strap around a child's neck could result in asphyxiation. Be particularly careful to keep the date battery used in the camera away from children. Seek medical assistance immediately if a child swallows a battery. 6 Read This First Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly described in this guide.
