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, the monitor, the viewfinder,
or the 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
• Hanging accessories on to the camera strap
• Exerting excessive force on the lens or the monitor
The camera is not dust or splash resistant, or
waterproof.
Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or
sand, or where the camera can get exposed to water.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions,
which present a risk that sand, water, or foreign material
may enter the camera through the lens or gaps around
buttons. Be especially careful because these conditions
may damage the camera, and such damage may not be
repairable.
• In extremely dusty or sandy places
• In the rain or by the shore, where the camera may be
exposed to water
■
Condensation (When the lens, the monitor, or the viewfinder is fogged up)
●
Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to
sudden changes of temperature or humidity. Avoid these
conditions, which may fog up the lens, the monitor, or the
viewfinder, cause mold, 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.
