Notes on handling the product
• Do not leave the lens or the
viewfinder exposed to a strong light
source such as sunlight. Because
of the lens's condensing function,
doing so may cause smoke, fire, or a
malfunction inside the camera body
or the lens. If you have to leave the
camera exposed to a light source
such as sunlight, attach the lens cap
to the lens.
• If sunlight or other strong light
enters the camera through the lens,
it may focus inside the camera and
cause smoke or fire. Attach the lens
cap when storing the camera. When
shooting with backlighting, keep the
sun sufficiently far away from the
angle of view. Even if it is slightly
away from the angle of view, smoke
or fire may still occur.
• Do not look at sunlight or a strong
light source through the lens when
it is detached. This may result in
unrecoverable damage to the eyes
or cause a malfunction.
• This camera (including accessories)
has magnet(s) which may interfere
with pacemakers, programmable
shunt valves for hydrocephalus
treatment, or other medical devices.
Do not place this camera close to

the camera immediately. The
damaged parts may harm your
hands, face, etc.
• When shooting still images
continuously, the monitor or

you experience uncomfortable
symptoms, stop using the camera,
and consult your doctor as
necessary.
• When recording or streaming for
long periods of time or recording
4K movies, if the same part of your
