SAFETY REMARKS

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Do not use your camera in the immediate vicinity of devices that

generate powerful magnetic, electrostatic or electromagnetic

ﬁelds (e.g. induction ovens, microwave ovens, television sets or

computer screens, video game consoles, cell phones, broadcast-

ing equipment). Their electromagnetic ﬁelds can interfere with

image capturing.

• Strong magnetic ﬁelds, e.g. from speakers or large electric mo-

tors can damage the stored data or disrupt shooting.

• Switch oﬀ the camera, remove the battery brieﬂy, replace it and

switch the camera back on in case of a camera malfunction due

to the eﬀects of electromagnetic ﬁelds.

• Do not use the camera in the immediate vicinity of radio trans-

mitters or high-voltage power lines. Their electromagnetic ﬁelds

may also interfere with image capturing.

• Always store small parts e.g. the accessory shoe cover as follows:

– out of the reach of children

– in a safe location, where they will not get lost or stolen

• State-of-the-art electronic components are sensitive to static

discharge. You can easily pick up charges of several 10,000 volts

by simply walking on synthetic ﬂoor coverings. A static discharge

can occur when you touch the camera and especially if it is

placed on a conductive surface. A static discharge on the camera

housing poses no risk for the electronics. Despite built-in safety

circuits, you should avoid direct contact with external camera

contacts like those in the ﬂash shoe.

• Take care not to soil or scratch the sensor for lens detection in

the bayonet. You must similarly prevent direct contact of the bay-

onet with grains of sand or similar particles, as these could cause

irreparable damage. This component must only be cleaned with a

dry cloth (in system cameras).

• Use a cotton or linen cloth instead of a microﬁber cloth from an

optician's (synthetic) when cleaning the contacts. Make sure

to discharge any electrostatic charge by deliberately touching

a heating or water pipe (conductive, grounded material). Dirt

deposits and oxidation on the contacts can be avoided by storing

your camera in a dry location with the lens cap and the ﬂash

shoe/viewﬁnder cap (in system cameras) attached.

• Only use accessories speciﬁed for this model to prevent faults,

short circuits or electric shock.

• Do not attempt to remove parts of the housing (covers) yourself.

Repairs must be done at authorized service centers only.

• Protect the camera against contact with insect sprays and other

aggressive chemicals. Petroleum spirit, thinner and alcohol must

not be used for cleaning. Some chemicals and liquids can dam-

age the camera housing or the surface ﬁnish.

• Rubber and plastics are known to expel aggressive chemicals

and should therefore not be kept in contact with the camera for

extended periods of time.

• Prevent any sand or dust or water penetration into the camera,

e.g. during snowfall or rain or on the beach. Be extra careful

when changing the lens (in system cameras) and when inserting

or removing the memory card and rechargeable battery. Sand

and dust can damage the camera, the lens, the memory card and

the battery. Moisture can cause malfunctions and irreparable

damage to the camera and memory card.

LENS

• A camera lens can have the eﬀect of a magnifying glass when

exposed to direct frontal sunlight. The camera must therefore be

protected against extended exposure to direct sunlight.
