Children should not be allowed to have access to
the DV camera. They could injure themselves with
inappropriate use of the DV camera or by becoming
entangled in the carrying strap. If a child swallows a DV
camera battery, get the child medical attention.
Subjecting the DV camera to water or any other
liquid, or allowing condensation to form, may start a fire
or give the user an electrical shock.
If liquid gets inside the DV camera, turn the DV
camera power off by removing the battery or
unplugging the power cord (with dry hands).
Allowing the DV camera to slowly adjust to
temperature changes (as in transferring the unit from
outdoors to indoors) will help to prevent condensation.
Let any condensation evaporate before using the DV
camera.
Exposing the DV camera to too much heat may
warp the DV camera casing or damage the batteries.
Battery damage may result in fire, burns or electrical
shock.
Another source of possible burns is heat from the flash
or DV camera itself.
Touching the flash after it has been used extensively
can cause burns.
The DV camera body itself may burn your hands if
the DV camera has been operated for a lengthy
period of time.
