On operating temperature
Your camera is designed for use between
the temperatures of 0°C and 40°C (32°F
and 104°F). Shooting in extremely cold
or hot places that exceed this range is not
recommended.
On moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may condense
inside or outside the camera. This moisture
condensation may cause a malfunction of
the camera.
Moisture condensation occurs
easily when:
• The camera is brought from a cold
location such as a ski slope into a
warmly heated room
• The camera is taken from an air-
conditioned room or car interior to the
hot outdoors, etc.
How to prevent moisture
condensation
When bringing the camera from a cold
place to a warm place, seal the camera
in a plastic bag and allow it to adapt to
conditions at the new location over a
period of time (about an hour).
If moisture condensation occurs
Turn off the camera and wait about an
hour for the moisture to evaporate. Note
that if you attempt to shoot with moisture
remaining inside the lens, you will be
unable to record clear images.
