Notes About Operating Temperature, Humidity, and
Condensation
The operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures from –10°C to +40°C
(14°F to 104°F).
When you use the camera in cold climate regions or at high altitudes, observe the
following precautions.
Battery performance deteriorates temporarily when cold. Keep the camera and
batteries warm under your clothing before use.
Camera performance may deteriorate temporarily if it is exposed to extreme cold
for an extended period. For example, the monitor may appear darker than normal
immediately after the camera is turned on, or residual images may be produced.
● Environmental conditions that are likely to cause condensation inside of
the camera
Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the monitor or lens when there
are sharp temperature changes or high humidity, such as in the environmental
conditions described below. This is not a camera malfunction or defect.
The camera is suddenly immersed in cold water after being in a hot place on land.
The camera is brought to a warm place such as inside a building after being in the
cold outdoors.
The battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed in a high-
humidity environment.
● Clearing the fogging
Turn off the camera and open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover while
in a place where the ambient temperature is stable (avoid places with high
temperature, high humidity, sand, or dust).
To clear the fogging, remove the battery and memory card, and leave the battery-
chamber/memory card slot cover open to allow the camera to adjust to the
ambient temperature.
