Preventing Malfunctions
CameraAvoid Strong Magnetic FieldszNever 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 ProblemszWhen moving the equipment rapidly from cold to hot 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.
If condensation forms on the camera, remove the memory card and battery, and set the camera aside in room temperature to allow the condensation to naturally evaporate before using the camera again.
