About Condensation (When the lens or the LCD monitor is fogged
up)
Condensation occurs when there is a change in temperature or humidity, such as when the unit is
taken from outside or a cold room to a warm room. Please be careful, as it may cause the lens or
LCD monitor to become soiled, moldy, or damaged.
When taking the unit to a place which has a different temperature, if the unit is accustomed to the
room temperature of the destination for about one hour, condensation can be prevented. (When the
difference in temperature is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the like, remove air from the
bag, and seal the bag.)
When condensation has occurred, turn the unit off, open the side cover and leave the unit like that
for about 2 hours. When the unit becomes accustomed to the surrounding temperature, fogginess
will disappear naturally.
