Before use

■
Camera handling
●
Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.
●
The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.
Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where
water can come into contact with the camera.
●
Do not allow camera to come into contact with pesticides or volatile
substances (can cause surface damage or coating to peel).
■
Condensation (When the lens, the LCD monitor or the viewfinder is fogged up)
●
Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes of
temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens,
the LCD monitor or the viewfinder dirty, cause mould, or damage the camera.
●
If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours
before using it. Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature,
the fogging will clear naturally.
