Preventing Malfunctions

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields
Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other
equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposure to strong
magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.
Avoid Condensation Related Problems
Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may
cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal
surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight,
resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly
before removing it from the bag.
If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera
Stop using the camera immediately if you detect condensation. Continued
use may damage the equipment. Remove the SD card and battery from the
camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming
use.
Extended Storage
When not using the camera for extended periods of time, remove the
battery pack and store the equipment in a safe place. Storing the camera for
extended periods with a battery pack installed will run down the battery
pack and may damage the camera. The date, time and other camera settings
may reset to default settings if the battery pack has been removed for more
than three weeks. Follow the instructions in this guide to reset the desired
settings.
