WARNING MESSAGES
• Modern electronic elements react sensitively to electrostatic
discharge. As you can easily pick up charges of tens of thousands
of volts, by walking on synthetic carpets for example, a discharge
can occur when you touch your camera, particularly if it is placed
on a conductive surface. If only the camera housing is affected,
this discharge is harmless to the electronics. However, despite
built-in safety circuits, outer contacts should not be touched if at
all possible for safety reasons.
• For any cleaning of the contacts, do not use an optical micro-fiber
cloth (synthetic); use a cotton or linen cloth instead. Before
touching the contacts, you can make sure you discharge any
electrostatic charge by deliberately touching a heating or water
pipe (conductive, earthed material). You can also avoid any soiling
and oxidation by storing your camera in a dry location with the lens
cap and ash shoe / viewnder socket cap attached.
• You should use only the recommended accessories to prevent
faults, short circuits or electric shock.
• Do not attempt to remove parts of the body (covers); specialist
repairs can be carried out only at authorized service centers.
