Retract the lens before play images. Sand or dust can cause the camera to malfunction. Make sure that the sand or dust does not enter in the lens or the terminals when using the camera on a beach, etc make sure that water does not enter the Chamber when used on a rainy day or on a beach.

Then, clean the camera with a dry cloth. About the LCD monitor/viewfinder. Do not press the LCD monitor with excessive force. Irregular colors on the LCD monitor may appear and may malfunction. Condensation can form on the LCD monitor in locations with large temperature differences. Clean the condensation with a dry, soft cloth. If the camera is cold when it turned on, the image on the LCD monitor/viewfinder will be slightly darker than usual at the beginning. However, the picture will return to normal brightness when the internal temperature of the camera increases.

About the lens. Do not press the lens with excessive force. Do not leave the camera with the lens facing the Sun, as it may cause a malfunction of the camera. Also, be careful when you leave the camera outside or near a window. When there is dirt (water, oil, and fingerprints, etc.) on the surface of the lens, the image may be affected. Lightly clean the surface of the lens with a soft, dry cloth before and after taking pictures. About condensation (when the lens and viewfinder are breaded). Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes as described below. Beware of condensation since it causes spots on lenses, fungi, and malfunction of the camera. When the camera takes the cold outdoor hot inside. When the camera is taken from outside to inside a car with air conditioning.

To avoid condensation, place the camera in a plastic bag until the temperature of the camera is close to the ambient temperature. If condensation occurs, turn off the camera and leave it for 2 hours. The fog will disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera moves closer to room temperature.

When not using the camera for a long period of time. Store the battery in a cool, dry place with a relatively stable temperature. [Recommended temperature: 15 to 25 oC oC (59 oF 77 oF), recommended humidity: 40% to 60%]. Always remove the battery and the camera card. If the battery remains inserted in the camera, it will discharge even if the camera is off. If the battery continues being left on the camera, it will download excessively and may become unusable even if charged. When storing the battery for a long period of time, we recommend that you charge it once a year. Remove the battery from the camera and store it again after having downloaded completely. We recommend to store the camera with a desiccant (silica gel) when you keep it in a closet or in a closet.
