 About Condensation (When the lens is fogged up)

• Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or

humidity changes. Be careful of condensation since it causes

lens stains, fungus and camera malfunctions.

• If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for

about 2 hours. The fog will disappear naturally when the

temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient

temperature.
