Fog-Proof Filter
Depending on the temperature and
humidity, the protecting filter may mist,
especially if you breathe near it. You can
replace the protecting filter with an optional
fog-proof filter to prevent the fogging.
Attaching the fog-proof filter
Detach the protecting filter from the
packing ring, and replace it with the fog-
proof filter.
To remove the packing from the protecting filter, see
the procedure "Preparation for Cleaning" (page
20).
Note
When cleaning the fog-proof filter, wipe the
filter very gently with a soft cloth to avoid
impairing the anti-fogging effect.
