Information Display in playback mode. (p.15)
u Caution
You cannot turn the GPS on/off while recording a movie.
While the GPS is on, the battery drains faster than normal.
If you use the camera near objects which generate
a magnetic field such as magnets, or have magnetism such
as iron, the electronic compass may not work properly.
The GPS data recorded in the image cannot be deleted. If you
do not want to share the shooting location information with the
public when posting the image on SNS, etc., turn the GPS off
before shooting.
You cannot use the optional GPS unit O-GPS1 with this
camera.
For other precautions on the GPS, refer to “About the GPS”
(p.108).

u Caution
Flashes with the reversed polarity (the center contact on the
hot shoe is minus) cannot be used due to the risk of damaging
the camera and/or flash.
Do not combine with accessories that have a different
number of contacts, such as Hot Shoe Grip, as a malfunction
may occur.
Combining with flashes from other manufacturers may cause
equipment breakdown.
t Memo
With the AF540FGZ, AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ,
or AF360FGZ II, you can use the high-speed sync flash
to discharge the flash and take a picture at a shutter speed
faster than 1/180 seconds. Set the exposure mode to I,
K, or L.
By using two or more external flashes (AF540FGZ,
AF540FGZ II, AF360FGZ, or AF360FGZ II), you can use the
wireless mode to shoot in P-TTL flash mode without
connecting the flash units with a cord. In this case, set the
camera channel on the external flashes.
You can connect an external flash
to the camera with a sync cord by
using the X-sync socket. Remove
the Sync socket 2P cap to connect
a sync cord to the X-sync socket.

We have paid close attention to the safety of this camera. When using this
camera, we request your special attention regarding items marked with the
following symbols.
Warning
Do not disassemble or modify the camera. High voltage areas are
present inside the camera, with the risk of electric shock.
If the camera interior is exposed due to dropping or otherwise damaging
the camera, never touch the exposed portion. There is a risk of electric
shock.
Do not aim the camera at the sun or other strong light sources when
taking pictures or leave the camera sitting in direct sunlight with a lens
cap off. Doing so may cause the camera to malfunction or cause a fire.
Do not look at the sun or other strong light sources through a lens.
Doing so may lead to a loss of eyesight or cause vision to be impaired.
If any irregularities occur during use, such as smoke or a strange odor,
stop use immediately, remove the battery or the AC adapter, and contact
your nearest service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric
shock.
Caution
Do not place your finger over the flash when discharging the flash.
You may burn yourself.
Do not cover the flash with clothing when discharging the flash.
Discoloration may occur.
Some portions of the camera heat up during use. There is a risk of low
temperature burns when holding such portions for long periods.
Should the monitor be damaged, be careful of glass fragments.
Also, be careful not to allow the liquid crystal to get on your skin
or in your eyes or mouth.
Depending on your individual factors or physical condition, the use
of the camera may cause itching, rashes or blisters. In case of any
abnormality, stop using the camera and get medical attention
immediately.
Warning
Always use the battery charger and AC adapter exclusively developed
for this camera, with the specified power and voltage. Using a battery
charger or AC adapter not exclusive to this camera, or using the
exclusive battery charger or AC adapter with an unspecified power
or voltage can cause a fire, electric shock, or camera breakdown.
The specified voltage is 100 - 240V AC.
Do not disassemble or modify the product. This can cause a fire
or electric shock.
If the generation of smoke or strange odor from the product or other
abnormality occurs, immediately discontinue using and consult your
nearest service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric shock.
If water should happen to get inside the product, consult your nearest
service center. Continued use can cause a fire or electric shock.
If you see a lightning flash or hear thunder during use of the battery
charger or AC adapter, unplug the power plug and discontinue using.
Continued use can cause damage to the product, fire or electric shock.
Wipe off the power plug if it should become covered with dust.
Accumulated dust may cause a fire.
To reduce the risk of hazards, use only CSA/UL certified power supply
cord set, cord is Type SPT-2 or heavier, minimum NO.18 AWG copper,
one end with a molded-on male attachment plug cap (with a specified
NEMA configuration), and the other is provided with a molded-on female
connector body (with a specified IEC nonindustrial type configuration)
or the equivalent.
Caution
Do not place or drop heavy objects on or forcefully bend the AC plug
cord. Doing so may damage the cord. Should the AC plug cord
be damaged, consult your nearest service center.
Do not touch or short-circuit the terminal area of the AC plug cord while
the cord is plugged in.
Do not handle the power plug with wet hands. This can cause an electric
shock.
Do not drop the product, or subject it to violent impact. This can cause
the product to breakdown.
Do not use the battery charger D-BC90 to charge batteries other than
the rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI90. Attempting to charge other
types of batteries may cause an explosion or heating, or may damage
the battery charger.
For Using Your Camera Safely
Warning
This symbol indicates that ignoring this item could
cause serious personal injuries.
Caution
This symbol indicates that ignoring this item could
cause minor or medium personal injuries, or loss
of property.

Warning
If any leakage from the battery should come in contact with your eyes,
do not rub them. Flush your eyes with clean water and get medical
attention immediately.
Caution
Only use the specified battery with this camera. Use of other batteries
may cause an explosion or fire.
Do not disassemble the battery. Disassembling the battery may cause
an explosion or leakage.
Remove the battery from the camera immediately if it becomes hot
or begins to smoke. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal.
Keep wires, hairpins, and other metal objects away from the + and -
contacts of the battery.
Do not short the battery or dispose of the battery in fire. This can cause
an explosion or fire.
If any leakage from the battery should come in contact with skin
or clothing, it may cause irritation to the skin. Wash the affected areas
thoroughly with water.
Precautions for D-LI90 Battery Usage:
- USE SPECIFIED CHARGER ONLY. RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS.
- DO NOT INCINERATE.
- DO NOT DISASSEMBLE.
- DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT.
- DO NOT EXPOSE TO HIGH TEMP. (140°F / 60°C)
- SEE MANUAL.
Warning
Do not place the camera and its accessories within the reach of small
children.
1. If the product falls or is operated accidentally, it may cause serious
personal injuries.
2. Wrapping the strap around a neck may cause suffocation.
3. To avoid the risk of a small accessory such as the battery or memory
cards from being swallowed by mistake, keep them out of the reach
of small children. Seek medical attention immediately if an accessory
is accidentally swallowed.
When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still
working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such
as at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot
be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data
to a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera
or recording media (memory cards), etc.
To keep the battery in optimum condition, avoid storing it in a fully
charged state or in high temperatures.
If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time,
the battery will over-discharge and shorten the battery’s life.
Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is
recommended.
The AC plug cord provided with this camera is developed exclusively for
the battery charger D-BC90. Do not use it with other devices.
Do not subject the camera to high temperatures or high humidity. Do not
leave the camera in a vehicle, as the temperature can get very high.
Do not subject the camera to strong vibrations, shocks, or pressure. Use
a cushion to protect the camera from vibrations of motorcycles,
automobiles, or ships.
The temperature range for camera use is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
The monitor may appear black at high temperatures, but will return
to normal at normal temperatures.
The monitor may respond more slowly at low temperatures. This is due
to liquid crystal properties, and is not a malfunction.
Sudden temperature changes will cause condensation on the inside and
outside of the camera. Place the camera in your bag or a plastic bag,
and remove it after temperatures of the camera and surroundings are
equalized.
Avoid contact with garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, toxic gases, or salt.
These could cause the camera to breakdown. Wipe the camera to dry
off any rain or water drops.
Do not press on the monitor with excessive force. This could cause
it to break or malfunction.
Be careful not to overtighten the screw in the tripod socket when using
a tripod.

defects of material or workmanship for a period of twelve
months from the date of your purchase. Service will

repairs will be made and parts replaced free of charge, and the
camera will be returned to you upon completion of servicing.
If the camera is not covered by warranty, regular charges of the
manufacturer or of its representatives will apply. Shipping
charges are to be borne by the owner. If your camera was

Information for Users on Collection and Disposal of Old
Equipment and Used Batteries
1. In the European Union
These symbols on the products, packaging and/
or accompanying documents mean that used
electrical and electronic equipment and batteries
should not be mixed with general household
waste.
Used electrical/electronic equipment and
batteries must be treated separately and
in accordance with legislation that requires
proper treatment, recovery and recycling
of these products.
By disposing of these products correctly you will
help ensure that the waste undergoes the
necessary treatment, recovery and recycling
and thus prevent potential negative effects
on the environment and human health which
could otherwise arise due to inappropriate waste
handling.
If a chemical symbol is added beneath the symbol shown
above, in accordance with the Battery Directive, this indicates
that a heavy metal (Hg = Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead)
is present in the battery at a concentration above an applicable
threshold specified in the Battery Directive.
For more information about collection and recycling of used
products, please contact your local authorities, your waste
disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased
the products.
