Before use
■
Camera handling
Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions, which may damage the
lens, monitor, viewfinder, or camera body. This may also cause the camera to
malfunction or prevent recording.
• Dropping or hitting the camera against a hard surface
• Sitting down with the camera in your pants pocket or forcing it into a full bag
• Adding accessories to the camera strap
• Pushing with excessive force on the lens or monitor
The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.
Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where
water can come into contact with the camera.
■
Condensation (When the lens, the monitor, or viewfinder, is
fogged up)
●
Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes of
temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens,
monitor, or viewfinder dirty, cause mould, or damage the camera.
●
If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours before
using it. Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature, the fogging
will clear naturally.

When in use
●
Keep credit cards and other items sensitive to
magnetism away from the magnetic portion of
the camera. Otherwise, magnetic fields may
damage their data and make them unusable.
