Damage to the LCD monitor or personal injury may result.
• Be particularly careful in the following places as they may cause this

– Places where water can come into contact with this unit such as when using
it on a rainy day or on a beach.
• Do not touch the lens or the sockets with dirty hands. Also, be careful
not to allow liquids, sand and other foreign matter to get into the space
around the lens, buttons etc.
• If water or seawater splashes on the camera, use a dry cloth to wipe the camera body

∫ About Condensation (When the lens is fogged up)
•
Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens stains, fungus and camera malfunction.
• 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.
