Camera handling
Protect the camera against vibration, impact 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
• Using excessive force when handling 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.
If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the monitor, wipe them
off with a dry soft cloth.
●
Not doing so may cause the monitor to respond incorrectly to touch operations.
■
Condensation (When the lens, the monitor, or viewfinder, is fogged up)
●
Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes in
temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens, monitor, or
viewfinder dirty, cause mold, or damage the camera.
●
Turn off the camera and wait about two hours before using it if condensation occurs.
Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature, the fogging will clear
naturally.
■
