∫ About Condensation (When 
the lens or the LCD monitor is 
fogged up)
Condensation occurs when there is a change in 
temperature or humidity, such as when the unit 
is taken from outside or a cold room to a warm 
room. Please be careful, as it may cause the 
lens or LCD monitor to become soiled, moldy, 
or damaged.
When taking the unit to a place which has a 
different temperature, if the unit is accustomed 
to the room temperature of the destination for 
about one hour, condensation can be 
prevented. (When the difference in temperature 
is severe, place the unit in a plastic bag or the 
like, remove air from the bag, and seal the bag.)
When condensation has occurred, remove the 
battery and/or the AC adapter and leave the 
unit like that for about one hour. When the unit 
becomes accustomed to the surrounding 
temperature, fogginess will disappear naturally.
