About Condensation (When the lens
is fogged up)
yCondensation occurs when the
ambient temperature or humidity
changes as described below. Be
careful of condensation since it
causes lens stains, fungus and
camera mal function.
- When the camera is taken form 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.
yTo 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.
When not using the camera for a
long period of time.
yStore the battery in a cool and dry place
with a relatively stable temperature.
[Recommended temperature 15ºC to
25ºC, Recommended humidity: 40% to
60%]
yAlways remove the battery and the card
from the camera.
yIf 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.
yWhen 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.
yWe recommend storing the camera with
a desiccant (Silica gel) when you keep
it in a closet or a cabinet.
