INTRODUCTION

Condensation

• When you bring the camera indoors on a cold day or other-
wise expose it to a sudden change of temperature, conden-
sation can form on the exterior of the camera or on internal
components. Condensation can cause malfunction of the
camera, so you should avoid exposing it to conditions that
might cause condensation.
• To keep condensation from forming, place the camera into
a plastic bag before moving it into a location that is much
warmer or colder than your current location. Leave it in the
plastic bag until the air inside the bag has a chance to
reach the same temperature as the new location. If con-
densation does form, remove the batteries from the cam-
era and leave the battery compartment cover open for a
few hours.
