Camera handling
Keep the camera away from excessive vibration, force, or
pressure.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions, which may damage
the lens, monitor, viewfinder, or camera body. This may also cause the
camera to malfunction or prevent recording.
• Dropping or hitting the camera against a hard surface
• Pushing with excessive force on the lens or monitor
The camera is not dust resistant, splash resistant, or
waterproof.
Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand,
or where water can come into contact with the camera.
●
Avoid using the camera under the following conditions, which present a risk
that sand, water, or foreign material may enter the camera through the lens
or openings around buttons. Be especially careful because these conditions
may damage the camera, and such damage may not be repairable.
• In extremely dusty or sandy places
• In the rain or by the shore, where the camera may be exposed to water
■
Condensation (When the lens, the monitor, or viewfinder, is fogged up)
●
Condensation may occur when the camera is exposed to sudden changes
of temperature or humidity. Avoid these conditions, which may make the
lens, monitor, or viewfinder, dirty, cause mould, or damage the camera.
●
If condensation does occur, turn off the camera and wait about two hours
before using it. Once the camera adjusts to the surrounding temperature,
the fogging will clear naturally.
■
Always take a test shot first
Before important events when you will use the camera (at weddings, for example),
always take a test shot to make sure that pictures and sound record correctly.
■
No compensation for missed shots
We cannot compensate for missed shots if technical problems with the camera or card
prevent recording.
■
Carefully observe copyright laws
Unauthorised use of recordings that contain works with copyright for purposes other
than personal use is prohibited under copyright law. Recording of certain material may
be restricted even for the purpose of personal use.
