Konica Minolta G500 Digital Camera User Manual


 
When taking a picture, wipe off the flash surface and be
careful not to cover the flash.
If the flash surface is dirty or you take a shot with the flash
covered, it is possible for the flash surface quality or color to
change, due to the high temperature of the flash.
Check that the polarity is correct when inserting batter-
ies.
The battery may heat, damage or leak if the polarity is not
correct, possibly causing skin burns and/or personal injury as
a result.
Do not use batteries which have become soiled with oil
or sweat.
If soiled, wipe the contacts with a dry cloth before use.
When cleaning or carrying out non-photographic opera-
tions on the camera, disconnect the AC adapter for safety.
Do not leave the camera in locations such as:
• A location exposed to direct sunlight or inside a car, etc. where the
temperature may become extremely high.
Fire and/or damage to the unit may occur.
• Within the reach of children.
The strap may wrap around the neck causing strangulation, or
accessories such as batteries, Memory Card, etc. may be swal-
lowed.
• Unstable surfaces such as on an unstable table or an angled sur-
face.
Camera dropping on the head or other body parts may not only
cause personal injury but malfunction of the unit as well.
• A location exposed to lampblack, steam, high humidity, dust or
vibration.
If dust or liquid enters the camera or if the internal parts are dam-
aged by strong vibration, overheating, fire or electrical shock may
occur as a result.
