• Keep the camera in a well-ventilated place.
• Do not expose the camera to extreme heat
(over 40°C/104°F) or to extreme cold (below
-10°C/14°F). Low temperatures, even within
this range, may sometimes cause
deterioration in battery performance,
temporarily disabling the camera.
• When transporting the camera from a cold
place to a warm place or in the event of a
sudden temperature change, put the camera
into a plastic bag. This allows the camera's
temperature to change slowly. Once the
camera has adjusted to the new temperature,
you can remove it from the bag and use it.
• Keep your hair, hands, strap, etc., away from
the autofocus window, lens, AE sensor and
flash.
• Avoid leaving the camera unused for a long
period of time. This can cause mold to grow
on the camera as well as other problems. Try
to press the shutter release button and check
the operation of the camera before use.
• Be careful when moving the camera on a
tripod.
• Do not allow your film to pass through airport
X-ray machines.
• Do not touch the contact points inside the
camera.
• This camera is controlled by a
microcomputer. Problems with the
microcomputer can affect or stop camera
operation. If this happens, remove the
batteries, then reload them and try the
camera again. Strong electrical fields can
also interfere with the operation of this
camera, so try to avoid places or objects that
generate such fields.
• This camera is not suitable for use under
severe conditions.
• Do not touch the front surface of the flash
after using the flash continuously in a short
time as the flash may be hot.
