 Before use
 ■
 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, 
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
 • Pushing with excessive force on 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 of 
temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens, monitor, or 
viewfinder dirty, cause mould, 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.
