∫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

adaptor and leave the unit like that for about one hour. When the unit

becomes accustomed to the surrounding temperature, fogginess will

disappear naturally.
