w About Condensation (When the lens 

• Condensation occurs when the ambient 

temperature or humidity changes as 
described below. Be careful of 
condensation since it causes lens stains, 
fungus and camera malfunction.
– When the camera is taken from the cold 

outdoors to the warm indoors.

– When the camera is taken from outside 

to inside an air-conditioned car.

– When cool wind from an air conditioner 

etc. blows directly on the camera.

– In humid places.

• To prevent condensation, put the camera 

in a plastic bag until the temperature of 
the camera is close to the ambient 
temperature. 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.

w When not using the camera for a long 

• Store the battery in a cool and dry place 

with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature:
15

QC to 25 QC (59 QF to 77 QF),

Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]

• Always remove the battery and the card 

from the camera.

• If the battery is left inserted in the camera, 

it will discharge even if the camera is 
turned off. If the battery continues to be 
left in the camera, it will discharge 
excessively and may become unusable 
even if charged.

• When storing the battery for a long period 

of time, we recommend charging it once a 
year. Remove the battery from the camera 
and store it again after it has completely 
discharged.

• We recommend storing the camera with a 

desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a 
closet or a cabinet.
