• Never leave your camera where it may be subjected to extreme
temperatures such as in the glove compartment of a car.
• The data panel response time will be slow at cold temperatures.
The display will temporarily darken at high temperatures, but will
be restored when the temperature normalizes.
• This camera is not waterproof or splashproof. When using the
camera in the rain, protect the camera and lens.
• Never subject the camera to extreme humidity.
