• Dropping or hitting the camera against a hard surface

• Pushing with excessive force on the lens or LCD monitor

• When carrying or using the playback feature, ensure that the lens is in the stored position, with lens cap on.

The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.

Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where water can come into contact with the camera.

Avoid using the camera under the following conditions, which present a risk that sand, water, or foreign material may enter the camera through the lens or openings around buttons. Be especially careful, because these conditions may damage the camera and such damage may not be repairable.

In extremely dusty or sandy places

In the rain or by the shore, where the camera may be exposed to water

Condensation (When the lens or the LCD monitor is fogged up)

Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes of temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the lens or LCD monitor dirty, cause mold, or damage the camera.

If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours before using it. Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature, the fogging will clear naturally.
