This unit may malfunction, recording pictures may no longer be possible or the

• We strongly recommend you do not leave the camera in your pants pocket
when you sit down or forcefully insert it into a full or tight bag, etc.
Damage to the LCD monitor or personal injury may result.
• Be particularly careful in the following places as they may cause this

∫ About Condensation (When the lens and LCD monitor are fogged up)
• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens and LCD monitor stains, fungus and camera malfunction.
• If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about 2 hours. The fog will
disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature.
