On moisture condensation
If the product is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense
inside or outside the product. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the
product.
To prevent moisture condensation when you bring the product directly from a cold to a
warm location, first put it in a plastic bag and seal it to prevent air from entering. Wait for
about an hour until the temperature of the product has reached the ambient temperature.
If moisture condensation occurs, turn off the product and wait about an hour for the
moisture to evaporate. Note that if you attempt to shoot with moisture remaining inside the
lens, you will be unable to record clear images.
