Before use

Camera handling
Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or
pressure. The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or waterproof.
Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where water can come into contact with the camera.
Condensation (When the lens or the LCD 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 LCD monitor dirty, cause mold, or damage the camera. If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two
