Condensation
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
TO AVOID CONDENSATION
•Do not expose the camcorder to sudden or extreme changes in temperature.
•Remove the disc and memory card and the camcorder in an airtight plastic bag. Let the camcorder adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
WHEN CONDENSATION IS DETECTED
•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.
