Please be careful, as it may cause the lens, the viewfinder 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, remove the battery and/or the AC adaptor and leave the unit like that for about one hour. When the unit becomes accustomed to the surrounding temperature, fogginess will disappear naturally. - 2 -

About Condensation

(When the lens, the viewfinder

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, the viewfinder 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, remove the

battery and/or the AC adaptor and leave the

unit like that for about one hour. When the unit

becomes accustomed to the surrounding

temperature, fogginess will disappear naturally.
