Maintenance & additional information
When there is dew condensation, put the camcorder aside for a while before using
•What is dew condensation?
Dew condensation happens when a camcorder is moved to a location where there is a significant temperature difference from the previous location. The dew condenses on the external or internal parts of the camcorder, and on the reflection lens. If there is dew on or in your camcorder, it may cause the camcorder to malfunction or damage the camcorder when you turn the power on.
•Exactly when does dew condensation occur?
When you move the camera to a location with a higher temperature than the previous location, or when you move it to a hot area suddenly. Examples:
-You record outside in cold weather during the winter and then move the camera in indoors.
-You record outside in hot weather after being indoors or inside a car where the A/C was running.
•What can I do?
-Turn the power off, detach the battery, and leave the camcorder in a dry area for 1~2 hours before using it.
• Use the camcorder only after dew condensation has completely disappeared.
•Be sure to use the recommended accessories supplied with the camcorder. For service, contact your nearest Samsung authorised service centre.
USING YOUR CAMCORDER ABROAD

On TV colour systems
Your camcorder is a PAL based camcorder. If you want to view your recordings on a TV or copy them to an external device, it must be a PAL based TV or external device and have the appropriate Audio/ Video jacks.
