■Water and Sand
This camera cannot be used under water. Keep the camera against penetration of garbage, mud, sand, dust, water, harmful gas, salt, and so on. Do not place the camera on a wet surface. Make sure the covers (caps) for the battery, card slot and ports are securely closed before use. If the camera is exposed to rain, droplets of water, and so on, dry it thoroughly.
■Condensation
Sudden increases in temperature, such as occur when entering a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the camera. If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait an hour before turning it on again. If condensation forms on the memory card, remove the card and wait for the condensation to dissipate.
