TO AVOID CONDENSATION

Do not expose the camcorder to sudden or extreme changes in temperature.

Unload the disc, place the camcorder in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.

WHEN CONDENSATION IS DETECTED

The camcorder automatically shuts off. If a disc is loaded, remove the disc immediately and leave the disc cover open. Leaving the disc in the camcorder may damage it.

A disc cannot be loaded when condensation is detected.

RESUMING USE

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 camcorder.
