Do not place a hand inside the camera mount.
This may cause a failure or damage because the sensor is a precision
device.
If you shake the camera while turning the camera off, a sensor may
operate or a rattling sound may be heard. This is caused by the image
stabilizer mechanism in the body. It is not a malfunction.
Splash Resistant
Splash Resistant is a term used to describe an extra level of
protection this camera offers against exposure to a minimal amount
of moisture, water or dust. Splash Resistant does not guarantee that
damage will not occur if this camera is subjected to direct contact
with water.
In order to minimize the possibility of damage please be sure the
following precautions are taken:
– Splash Resistant works in conjunction with the lenses that were specifically
designed to support this feature.
– Securely close the doors, socket caps, contact points cover, etc.
– When the lens or cap is removed or a door is open, do not allow sand, dust, and
moisture to enter inside.
– If liquid gets on the camera, wipe it off with a dry soft cloth.
Condensation (When the Lens, the Viewfinder or Monitor
is Fogged Up)
0 Condensation occurs when there are temperature or humidity differences. Be careful
because condensation can lead to stains or mold on the lens, viewfinder, and
monitor or cause a failure.
0 If condensation occurs, turn off the camera and leave it for approx. 2 hours. The fog
will disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the
ambient temperature.
Be Sure to Perform Trial Recording in Advance
Perform trial recording in advance of an important event (wedding, etc.) to check that
recording can be performed normally.
