may become noticeable.

o
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun or an
intense artifi cial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the
camera’s internal components.
Image Quality
o
Frequent shooting over an extended period may cause the camera’s internal
temperature to rise and aff ect image quality. When you are not shooting,
always turn off the camera.
o
If you shoot a long exposure while the camera’s internal temperature is high,
image quality may decline. Stop shooting and wait a few minutes before
shooting again.
