Sudden changes in temperature will often cause moisture to condense inside, or outside your camera. This is a possible source of rust, which may be extremely harmful to the mechanism. Furthermore, if the camera is taken from a warm tempera. ture to a sub-freezing one, further damage may result from the formation of icelets. Thus, sudden temperature changes should be avoided as much as possible. As a guide, a temperature change of 10' C should be allowed to take place gradually over a period of at least 30 minutes. If this is not possible, keeping the camera in its case or bag will help somewhat in minimizing the effects of a rapid temperature change. 5. Vibration experienced when you are traveling in a car, plane, or ship, can cause screws to loosen. To minimize this problem use foam-rubber padding about one inch thick to line the buttom of your camera bag. 6. When mounting your camera on a tripod, make sure the tripod screw is no longer than 5.5mm, which is the depth of your camera's tripod socket. If you use a longer screw, you will possibly puncture the tripod socket, after which the camera will not function properly. Precautions on LCD Display • In temperatures over approximately 60'C, the LCD display may darken. It will return to its normal condition under normal tempera. ture. •In low temperatures, the LCD display may respond more slowly. This is due to the characteristics of the liquid used and is not a malfunction. Backup Circuit for LCD Display Even when the battery is removed for replacement during shooting, the built-in backup circuit retain data such as the frame number and the ISO film speed in memory until a new battery is inserted. 61
