When inner side of the lens is fogged

(condensation)

It is not a malfunction or failure of the camera. It may

be caused by the environment in which the camera is

used.

What to do when inner side of the lens is fogged

•Turn off the power and open the side door in a place

with constant ambient temperature, away from high

temperatures, humidity, sand and dust. The fog will

disappear naturally in 10 minutes to 2 hours with the

side door open when the temperature of the camera

gets close to the ambient temperature.

•Contact Panasonic’s Service Center if the fogging does not disappear.

Conditions in which inner side of the lens may be fogged

Condensation may occur and the inner side of the lens may be fogged when the

camera is used in areas that undergo a significant change in temperature or in

high humidity, such as the following:

•When the camera is used underwater suddenly after being on a hot beach

etc.

•When the camera is moved to a warm area from a cold area, such as at a

ski resort or at high altitude

•When the side door is opened in a high-humidity environment
