• Never fire a flash in the vicinity of flammable gases or liquids (petrol,
solvents, etc.) - DANGER OF EXPLOSION!
• Never take flash shots of car, bus or train drivers, or of motorcycle and
bicycle riders, whilst they are travelling. They could be blinded by the
light and cause an accident!
• Never fire a flash in the immediate vicinity of the eyes! Flash fired direct-
ly in front of the eyes of a person or animal can damage the retina and
lead to severe visual disorders - even blindness!
