TO AVOID CONDENSATION
Do not expose the camcorder to sudden or extreme changes in temperature.
Remove the cassette, 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, the warning message “CONDENSATION HAS BEEN DETECTED” appears for approx. 4 seconds and 
starts flashing.
If a cassette is loaded, the warning
message “REMOVE THE CASSETTE” appears and 
starts flashing. Remove the cassette immediately and leave the cassette compartment open. Leaving the cassette in the camcorder may damage the tape.
A cassette 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. After the condensation warning stops flashing, wait for 1 more hour before resuming use.
