If this occurs, place the camera in a bag to slow the temperature change as much as possible. Take it out of the bag after the temperature difference from the atmosphere has decreased to a fairly small amount. If condensation occurs, wait until the moisture has dried before using the camera.

• When taking photos of an important event (such as a wedding or overseas trip), take a test photo beforehand to check that the camera is working properly.
• The camera may get hot if you record a video for a long period of time or perform shooting multiple times in quick succession. In this case, the camera may stop operating to prevent damage from high temperatures.
• The temperature of the camera may rise high when a video is recorded for a long period of time or shooting is performed multiple times in quick succession. Use a tripod etc. when performing shooting for a long period of time to prevent low temperature burns.

Battery

• A lithium ion battery is used in the camera.
• Be sure to charge the battery before use, as it is not fully charged before shipment.
• Due to the characteristics of the battery, use in cold areas will shorten the usage time even if the battery is sufficiently charged.
• If storing for a long time, charge the battery for around 30 minutes once a year.
• Store the battery in a cool place. A dry place with an ambient temperature of 15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F) is recommended. Avoid extremely hot or cold places.
• Do not recharge immediately after charging is done.
• Charge the battery in an area with an ambient temperature of 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F). Charging in a hot area may cause the battery to deteriorate. Charging in a cold area may prevent sufficient charging.
