About the Lens

force.
• Do not leave the camera with the lens
facing the sun as it may cause the camera

leave the camera outside or near a
window.
• When there is dirt (water, oil, and
fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the
lens, the picture may be affected. Lightly
wipe the surface of the lens with a soft,
dry cloth before and after taking pictures.

About Condensation (When the lens
or the Viewfinder is fogged up)
• Condensation occurs when the ambient
temperature or humidity changes as
follows. Be careful of condensation since
it causes lens stains, fungus and camera
malfunction.
– When the camera is taken from the cold
outdoors to the warm indoors.
– When the camera is taken from outside
to inside an air-conditioned car.
– When cool wind from an air conditioner
etc. blows directly on the camera.
– In humid places.
• To prevent condensation, put the camera
in a plastic bag until the temperature of
the camera is close to the ambient
temperature. 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.

When not using the camera for a long
period of time
• Store the battery in a cool and dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
15
o
C to 25
o
C (59
o
F to 77
o
F),
Recommended humidity:
40% to 60%]
• Always remove the battery and the card
from the camera.
• When the battery is left inserted in the
camera, it will discharge even if the
camera is turned off. If left like this the
battery will discharge excessively and
may become unusable even if charged.
• When storing the battery for a long period
of time, we recommend charging it once a
year. Remove the battery from the camera
and store it again after it has completely
discharged.
• We recommend storing the camera with a
desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a
closet or a cabinet.
• If you have not used the camera for a
long period of time, check all the parts
before taking pictures.
