Getting the Best Out of Your Camera
Condensation
If condensation occurs, the lens or LCD
panel will become misty and you cannot
take pictures. Try to avoid situations where
condensation is likely to occur and follow
these precautions if it does occur.
What is condensation
Condensation refers to the water droplets
that can form on a cold object when it is
exposed to warm air. For example,
condensation forms on a bottle after it is
removed from a refrigerator and placed in
a warm room.
Preventing condensation
To avoid condensation occurring for
example, after entering a warm ski lodge
from outside, seal the camera in a plastic
bag so that it is not exposed to the air.
If condensation occurs on the lens or other
parts of the camera:
Turn off the power and allow the camera to
stand for about an hour. This will allow the
camera to adjust to the surrounding
temperature and allow the condensation to
evaporate.
Condensation may occur in the
foilowing situations:
• After entering a warm room when the
weather outside is cold.
• After leaving an air conditioned vehicle.
• When a cold room is suddenly heated.
• When the air from an air conditioner is
applied directly to the camera.
• Hot, damp locations.
