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, broadcasting equipment). Their electromagnetic fields can interfere with image
recordings.
• Strong magnetic fields, e.g. from speakers or large electric motors 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 transmitters or high-voltage power lines. Their
electromagnetic fields may also interfere with image recordings.
• 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 bayonet 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 damage 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.
• Attaching the lens cap and keeping the camera in the shade or ideally in its camera case, will help prevent
damage to the interior of the camera.
