91
Page 93
Important notes
Extremes in temperature may cause problems.
x
- If the camera is transferred from a cold to a warm and humid
environment, condensation can form on the delicate electronic circuitry.
If this occurs, turn the camera off and wait for at least 1 hour until
all moisture has dispersed. Moisture build up can also occur on the
memory card. If this happens, turn off the camera and remove the
memory card. Wait until the moisture has dispersed.
x
Caution on Using the Lens
- If the lens is subjected to direct sunlight, it could result in the
discoloration and deterioration of the image sensor.
- Take care not to get fi ngerprints or foreign substances on the surface of
the lens.
