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, LCD 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, LCD monitor, or
viewfinder
●
When camera is not in use or when using the playback
feature, ensure that the lens is in the stored position, with
lens cap on.
●
There are times when rattling sounds or vibrations will
come from the camera, but these are due to the motion of
the aperture, the zoom and the motor and do not indicate a
defect.
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.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions,
which present a risk that sand, water, or foreign material
may enter the camera through the lens or openings around
buttons. Be especially careful because these conditions may
damage the camera, and such damage may not be repairable.
• In extremely dusty or sandy places
• In the rain or by the shore, where the camera may be exposed
to water
■
Condensation (When the lens, the LCD 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, LCD monitor, or
viewfinder, dirty, cause mold, 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.
