• 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.

■ Condensation (When the lens, the monitor, or viewfinder, is

fogged up)
