PRECAUTION DURING USE
SPECIFICATIONS
** Caution - Read this section before using the camera
* The built-in flash in this camera includes a high voltage circuit. To avoid electric shock or burns, do not
attempt to disassemble the camera. If the outside shell of the unit is broken or cracked, do not touch the
mechanism inside.
* Do not use this camera with any external flash unit other than the Sigma EF-430, which has special contact
pins on the hot shoe. This flash is offered as an optional accessory. Other external flash units may damage the
camera's circuitry or may not work properly.
* This camera is not waterproof. When using the camera in the rain on near water, keep it from getting wet. It is
often impractical to repair internal electrical components damaged by water.
* To avoid any chance of lithium battery explosion, the battery pack should not be disassembled, recharged,
short-circuited or exposed to fire or water.
* As with any camera, it is best to check all functions and shoot a test roll of film before using the camera for a
wedding, a trip abroad, or for any irreplaceable photographs.
* Please carry a spare battery when you use the camera in a cold environment, in the field, on a trip, or when
taking many pictures at one time.4www.but kus.org
