Preventing Malfunctions

Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields

z

Never place the camera in close proximity to electric motors
or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic
fields.

Exposure to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or
corrupt image data.

Avoid Condensation Related Problems

z

When moving the equipment rapidly from cold to hot
temperatures, you can avoid condensation by placing the
equipment in an airtight, resealable plastic bag and letting it
adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it
from the bag.

Moving the equipment rapidly from cold to hot temperatures may
cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and
internal surfaces.

If Condensation Forms Inside the Camera

z

Stop using the camera immediately.

Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the memory
card and batteries or compact power adapter from the camera and
wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.
