When inner side of the lens, viewfinder or monitor is fogged (condensation)
It is not a malfunction or failure of the camera. It may be caused by the environment
in which the camera is used.
What to do when inner side is fogged
• Turn off the camera and open the side door in a place with constant ambient temperature, away
from high temperatures, humidity, sand and dust. The fog will disappear naturally in
approximately 2 hours with the side door open when the temperature of the camera gets close
to the ambient temperature.
• Contact Panasonic if the fogging does not disappear.
Conditions in which inner side may be fogged
Condensation may occur and cause the inner side of the lens, viewfinder, and monitor to
fog up when the camera is used under conditions with drastic temperature changes or
high humidity levels, such as the following:
• When the camera is used underwater suddenly after being on a hot beach, etc.
• When the camera is moved to a warm area from a cold area, such as at a ski resort or at
high altitude
• When the side door is opened in a high-humidity environment
