•The lens, monitor, or external case may be damaged if used in the following conditions.
It may also malfunction or image may not be recorded if you:
–Drop or hit the camera.–Press hard on the lens or the monitor.
This camera is not dust/drip/water proof.
Avoid using the camera in places with a lot of dust, water, sand, etc.
•
Liquid, sand and other foreign material may get into the space around the lens, buttons, 
etc. Be particularly careful since it may not just cause malfunctions, but it may also 
become irreparable.
–Places with a lot of sand or dust.–Places where water can come into contact with this unit, such a s when using it on a 
rainy day or at the beach.
Do not place your hands inside the mount of the digital camera  body. Since the 
sensor unit is a precision apparatus, it may cause a malfunctio n or damage.
If sand, dust, or liquids such as water droplets adhere to the monitor, wipe them off 
with a dry soft cloth. –
Not doing so may cause the monitor to respond incorrectly to touch operations.
Keep objects sensitive to magnetic fields (credit cards, etc.)  away from the 
camera. Otherwise, magnetic fields may damage their data and ma ke them 
unusable.
∫About Condensation (When the lens , the viewfinder or monitor is fogged up)•Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity ch anges. Be careful of 
condensation since it causes lens , viewfinder and monitor stains, fungus and camera malfunction.
•If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for ab out 2 hours. The fog will disappear 
naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to t he ambient temperature.
For smoother recording, we recommend updating the firmware of t he 
interchangeable lens to the latest version.
