Camera handling

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

•Sitting down with the camera in your pants pocket or

forcing it into a full bag

•Adding accessories to the camera strap

•Pushing with excessive force on the lens or LCD 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.

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.
