Condensation

Moving the camera rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its internal surfaces. Stop using the camera if condensation is detected. Continued use may damage the camera.

Condensation may form in the following cases:

•When the camera is moved quickly from cold to warm places

•When the camera is left in a humid room

•When a cold room is heated rapidly

To avoid condensation

•Do not expose the camera to sudden or extreme changes in temperature.

•Remove the recording media and battery pack. Then, place the camera in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust gradually to temperature changes before removing it from the bag.

When condensation is detected The camera automatically shuts off.

The precise time required for water droplets to evaporate will vary depending on the location and weather conditions. As a general rule, wait for 2 hours before resuming use of the camera.
