WARNING NOTES

• Modern electronic components react sensitively to electrostatic
discharge. As people can easily pick up charges of tens of
thousands of volts, by walking on synthetic carpets for example,
a discharge can occur when you touch your camera, particularly
if it is placed on a conductive surface. If only the camera
housing is affected, this discharge is harmless to the electronics.
However, despite built-in safety circuits, the outer contacts, such
as those on the base of the camera, should not be touched if at
all possible for safety reasons.
• For any cleaning of the contacts, do not use an optical
micro-fiber cloth (synthetic); use a cotton or linen cloth instead.
Before touching the contacts, you can make sure you discharge
any electrostatic charge by deliberately touching a heating or
water pipe (conductive, earthed material).
You can also avoid soiling and oxidization of the contacts by
storing your camera in a dry place with the lens or bayonet caps
attached.
• You should only use the recommended accessories to prevent
faults, short circuits or electric shock.
• Do not attempt to remove parts of the body (covers); specialist
repairs can only be carried out at authorized service centers.
