About Condensation (When the lens and LCD monitor are fogged up)
• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens

stains, fungus and camera malfunction.
• 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.
