∫About Condensation (Fogging of the
Lens)
≥Condensation occurs when there are differences
in temperature and humidity as described below.
Condensation can cause the lens to become dirty
and lead to mold and malfunctioning, so exercise
caution in the following situations:
– When the camera is brought indoors from outside
during cold weather
– When the camera is brought into an air-
conditioned car
– When cold air from an air conditioner is directly
blown onto the lens
– In humid places
≥Put the camera into a plastic bag to allow it to
acclimatize to the surrounding temperature in
order to prevent condensation. If condensation
occurs, turn the power off and leave it for about
two hours. Once the camera acclimatizes to the
surrounding temperature the condensation will go
away naturally.
