■
Condensation (When the lens or the 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 monitor
dirty, cause mould, 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.
