- I took a second look at the X-700 users' manual and realised
- that I have made an error. The manual DOES NOT suggest the
- remedy of concealing the camera under your jacket. In fact,
- as Jake Livni has also pointed out, the manual cautions about
- condensation problems if the camera is moved from extreme cold
- outdoors to relatively warm indoors.
