that is included in the package. This will be useful if you experience
problems abroad.
When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still
working properly, particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as
at a wedding or when traveling). Contents of the recording cannot be
guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to
a computer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera
or recording media (memory cards), etc.
