Condensation
If condensation adheres to the unit, the lens may fog and the unit and SD card
may not function properly. Avoid sharp changes in temperature and humidity.
Condensation may adhere in the following cases:
• After summer rain showers or in humid places where the air is thick with
steam
• When heaters are turned on in cold rooms
• When moving from cold places to warm places
• When the unit is directly exposed to cold drafts (i.e., air-conditioners, etc.)
In the event of differences in temperature or humidity, place the unit in a
plastic bag, remove as much air as possible, seal and let it sit for about 1 hour
to adjust to the ambient temperature.
If the lens fogs up, remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor, open
the card/battery door and let it sit for about 1 hour to adjust to the ambient
temperature.
Cleaning
Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor.
Do not use benzene, thinner, alcohol, etc. (These substances can cause
deformation and peeling.)
Wipe off fingerprints and dust with a soft dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, soak a
cloth in water, wring it out well, and use it to wipe the dirty surfaces. Then wipe
the surfaces with a dry cloth.
Use chemically impregnated tissues in accordance with warnings and
indications.
Shock proof
This unit is a highly shock-proof video camera that has passed a drop test
from a height of 1.2 m (4 feet).
This test confirmed to "MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5 – Shock". (The product
was dropped on top of 5 cm (2˝) thick plywood.)
This does not guarantee that the unit will not be damaged or malfunction.
The water resistance of the unit may be reduced depending on the force of
the shock from the fall, or if the unit is repeatedly impacted. In this kind of
situation, consult your dealer from which you purchased the unit.
