surface may become warm during use, but this does
not indicate a malfunction. (In particular, the area
indicated by gray in the figure may become hot.)
i If the camera starts to feel uncomfortably hot during
use, you might temporarily discontinue use until it
cools down, or try holding it in your other hand for a
while.
Please use a tripod or other support when using the
camera for a long time.
