Notes on handling the product
• This camera is designed to be dust-and moisture-resistant, but is not waterproof or dust-proof.
• Do not leave the lens or the viewfinder exposed to a strong light source such as sunlight.
Because of the lens's condensing function, doing so may cause smoke, fire, or a malfunction
inside the camera body or the lens. If you have to leave the camera exposed to a light source
such as sunlight, attach the lens cap to the lens.
• If sunlight or other strong light enters the camera through the lens, it may focus inside the
camera and cause smoke or fire. Attach the lens cap when storing the camera. When shooting
with backlighting, keep the sun sufficiently far away from the angle of view. Even if it is slightly
away from the angle of view, smoke or fire may still occur.
• Do not directly expose the lens or the viewfinder to beams such as laser beams. This may
damage the image sensor or the inside of the viewfinder and cause the camera to malfunction.
• Do not look at sunlight or a strong light source through the lens when it is detached. This may
result in unrecoverable damage to the eyes or cause a malfunction.
• This camera (including accessories) has magnet(s) which may interfere with pacemakers,
programmable shunt valves for hydrocephalus treatment, or other medical devices. Do not
place this camera close to persons who use such medical devices. Consult your doctor before
using this camera if you use any such medical device.
• Increase the volume gradually. Sudden loud noises can damage your ears. Be especially careful
when listening to headphones.
• Do not leave the camera, the supplied accessories, or memory cards within the reach of infants.
They may be accidentally swallowed. If this occurs, consult a doctor immediately.
Notes on the monitor and electronic viewfinder
• The monitor and electronic viewfinder are manufactured using extremely high-precision
technology, and over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there
may be some small black dots and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green in color) that
constantly appear on the monitor and electronic viewfinder. These are imperfections due to the
manufacturing process and do not affect the recorded images in any way.
• When shooting with the viewfinder, you may experience symptoms such as eyestrain, fatigue,
motion sickness, or nausea. We recommend that you take a break at regular intervals when you
are shooting with the viewfinder.
• If the monitor or electronic viewfinder is damaged, stop using the camera immediately. The
damaged parts may harm your hands, face, etc.
Notes on continuous shooting
When shooting still images continuously, the monitor or viewfinder may flash between the
shooting screen and a black screen. If you keep watching the screen in this situation, you
may experience uncomfortable symptoms such as feeling of unwellness. If you experience
uncomfortable symptoms, stop using the camera, and consult your doctor as necessary.
