Preventing Malfunctions

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields

!Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic

fields.

Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

Avoid Condensation Related Problems

!When moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures, you can avoid condensation by placing the equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it

from the bag.

Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces.

If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera

!Stop using the camera immediately.

Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the memory card and batteries or compact power adapter from the camera and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
