Replacing the Cooling Fan Filter
You can replace the cooling fan filter, which is located under the
cover of the MON./3G-SDI terminals.
1 Remove the cooling fan cover.
• Hold the top and bottom of the center opening and remove the
cover.
2 Remove the filter.
3 Attach the new filter.
4 Reattach the cover.
• Hook the cover behind the lower tabs as shown in the
illustration and then hook the cover behind the upper tabs.
NOTES
• Filters can be reused by washing them in water or mild detergent.
Make sure filters are completely dry before attaching them to the
camera.
• Contact a Canon Service Center to purchase replacement filters.
Condensation
Moving the camera rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form
on its internal surfaces. Stop using the camera if condensation is detected. Continued use may damage the
camera.
Condensation may form in the following cases:
• When the camera is moved quickly from cold to warm places
• When the camera is left in a humid room
• When a cold room is heated rapidly
To avoid condensation
• Do not expose the camera to sudden or extreme changes in temperature.
• Remove the recording media and battery pack. Then, place the camera in an airtight plastic bag and let it
adjust gradually to temperature changes before removing it from the bag.
When condensation is detected
The precise time required for water droplets to evaporate will vary depending on the location and weather
conditions. As a general rule, wait for 2 hours before resuming use of the camera.
