Storing the camera
•
If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the card and battery, and store
the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place.
•
You are recommended to occasionally load the battery and operate the camera to keep it in
working order.
Condensation inside the camera
What is condensation?
When it is cold outside, the water vapor in the air is rapidly cooled and turns to droplets of water.
Condensation occurs when the camera is suddenly taken from the cold air into a warm room.
To prevent condensation
When taking the camera suddenly from a cold to a warm place, place it in a plastic bag and make
the bag as airtight as possible. Leave the camera for approximately one hour until the camera
adjusts to the temperature difference.
