Care of the camera
Do not strongly shake or bump the camera by dropping it etc.
This unit may malfunction, recording pictures may no longer be possible or the lens or the LCD
monitor may be damaged.
Be particularly careful in the following places as they may cause this unit to
malfunction.
Places with a lot of sand or dust.
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
carefully.
Do not place your hands inside the mount of the digital camera body. Since the sensor

About Condensation (When the lens or the Viewfinder 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.
