Damage to the LCD monitor or personal injury may result.

•Do not attach any other items to the hand strap that’s included with your

•Take extra care when handling in places with sand and dust, since it may cause malfunction.

•Do not touch the lens or terminal areas with dirty hands.

•Take care so fluid, sand, or foreign objects do not fall into the gap of the buttons.

∫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 malfunction.

•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.

•If the fog does not disappear, it may help opening the Card/Battery door or terminal cover for a while. (Do not open or close around water)
