devices or locations including airplanes, helicopters, skateboards, motorcycles,

rollerblades, etc., night time shoots in low lit and/or unsafe areas, and "remote" areas

which require transport of equipment over rough terrain.)

permanently damaging the lens without the proper cleaning materials. Only use the

cleaning cloth provided.

8. Never aim the viewfinder or the LCD screen directly at a strong light source! This

will cause permanent damage to the viewfinder/LCD screen. (e.g., the sun, very bright

light, or its reflection from an object.)
