On operating temperature
Your camera is designed for use between
the temperatures of 0°C and 40°C (32°F
and 104°F). Shooting in extremely cold
or hot places that exceed this range is not
recommended.
On moisture condensation
If the camera is brought directly from a
cold to a warm location, or is placed in a
very damp room, moisture may condense
inside or outside the camera. This moisture
condensation may cause a malfunction of
the camera.
Moisture condensation occurs
easily when:
• The camera is brought from a cold
location such as a ski slope into a
warmly heated room
• The camera is taken from an air-
conditioned room or car interior to the
hot outdoors, etc.
How to prevent moisture
condensation
When bringing the camera from a cold
place to a warm place, seal the camera
in a plastic bag and allow it to adapt to
conditions at the new location over a
period of time (about an hour).
