The inside of the lens is foggy.

Open the terminal cover; close the LCD monitor and leave as is for a while to reduce the temperature.

Preventing fogging inside the lens

Models with waterproof function are airtight. When the temperature rises during recording, condensation can occur inside the lens due to the internal humidity.

During recording

To prevent the temperature of this unit from rising, we recommend that you use the unit in the following ways.

Avoid frequent exposure to direct sunlight. Record under the shade or use an umbrella. Best if you could keep a wet towel cover the unit.

The use of a tripod is recommended. Long

hours of recording while holding the unit in your hands will cause

the temperature of the unit to rise.

It is better to leave the terminal cover open while recording. However, the waterproof, dust-proof and shockproof features do not function in this condition. Do take note of the environment when using the camera. (Do not use a wet towel.)

Make sure to turn off the power when you are not recording. When the LCD monitor is closed, the unit turns off.

During charging

It is recommended to charge the unit in a low humidity environment. The moist air inside the unit can cause condensation. We recommend that you charge the unit in a room where humidifier is not in use, and in an air-conditioned room during summer.
