Preparations/Basics
Before use
■
Camera handling
Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or pressure.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions, which may damage the
lens, monitor, viewfinder, or camera body. This may also cause the camera to
malfunction or prevent recording.
• Dropping or hitting the camera against a hard surface
• Pushing with excessive force on the lens or monitor
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.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions, which present a risk
that sand, water, or foreign material may enter the camera through the lens or
openings around buttons. Be especially careful because these conditions may
damage the camera, and such damage may not be repairable.
• In extremely dusty or sandy places
• In the rain or by the shore, where the camera may be exposed to water
If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the monitor, wipe
them off with a dry soft cloth.
●
Not doing so may cause the monitor to respond incorrectly to touch operations.
Do not place your hands inside the mount of the digital camera body. Since
the sensor unit is a precision apparatus, it may cause a malfunction or
damage.
If you shake the camera while it is turned off, its sensors may move or a
rattling sound may be heard. The sound is caused by the In-Body Image
Stabiliser, and this is not a malfunction.
Do not keep objects such as credit cards that may be influenced magnetically
close to this unit. The data on these objects may become corrupted and
unusable.
■
Condensation (When the lens, the monitor, or 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,
monitor, or 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.
