Condensation

Using the Camcorder Abroad

Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its internal surfaces. Stop using the camcorder if condensation is detected. Continued use may damage the camcorder.

Condensation may form in the following cases:

When the camcorder is moved quickly from cold to warm places

When the camcorder is left in a humid room

When a cold room is heated rapidly
