About Condensation (When the lens
is fogged up)
Condensation occurs when the ambient
temperature or humidity changes as
described below. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens stains,
fungus and camera malfunction.
When the camera is taken from the cold
outdoors to the warm indoors.
When the camera is taken from outside
to inside an air-conditioned car.
When cool wind from an air conditioner
etc. blows directly on the camera.
In humid places.
To prevent condensation, put the camera
in a plastic bag until the temperature of
the camera is close to the ambient
temperature. If condensation occurs, turn
the camera off and leave it for about
2 hours. The fog will disappear naturally
when the temperature of the camera
becomes close to the ambient
temperature.
When not using the camera for a long
period of time
Store the battery in a cool and dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
15 oC to 25 oC (59 oF to 77 oF),
Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]
Always remove the battery and the card
from the camera.
If the battery is left inserted in the camera,
it will discharge even if the camera is
turned off. If the battery continues to be
left in the camera, it will discharge
excessively and may become unusable
even if charged.
When storing the battery for a long period
of time, we recommend charging it once a
year. Remove the battery from the camera
and store it again after it has completely
discharged.
We recommend storing the camera with a
desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a
closet or a cabinet.
