special maintenance. Use a slightly damp, soft cloth to clean the camera.

-Do not use aggressive substances, such as white spirit, to clean the device.

These may harm the material.

-Do not submerge the device in liquid. This may be dangerous and will

damage the device. Do not use this device near water.

-Make sure nothing is placed on the cable. Do not use this device in an area

where the cable can become worn or damaged as a result of people walking

-Do not disassemble the camera. Touching the product’s internal parts could

result in injury. In the event of a malfunction, only a qualified technician

should repair the product. Should the product break open as a result of a fall

or other accident, take the product to an authorised service centre for

inspection.

-Avoid contact with liquid crystal. Should the LCD display break, care should

be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal

from touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

Note: Keep the glass of the lens clean. Use a lens tissue to clean the lens. If

necessary, use special cleaning liquid for camera lenses. Do not use

a different cleaning product.

Tip: The quality of the photograph depends on the surrounding light. More

light will result in a better picture.

Tip: The number of photographs that can be taken depends on the

number of details of the object to be photographed. The photograph

indicator on the LCD screen is an approximation.

Tip: The image viewed through the viewfinder may be slightly different to

what is recorded through the lens. You can use the LCD for greater

accuracy.
