Be careful of moisture condensation:
•When you move the DVD Video Camera between places where the difference in temperatures is great
- such as entering a lodge from a ski slope or going out of a cooled room or vehicle - condensation (vapor
in air warmed or cooled to water droplets) could occur on the lens and/or inside the DVD Video Camera.
If condensation occurs, do not open the cover of disc or card insertion block if possible. If condensation
occurs on the lens, wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth. Even if the external surface of DVD Video Camera
has dried, condensation may remain inside: Turn the DVD Video Camera off and leave it in a dry place
for at least 1-2 hours before using it again.
Do not use the DVD Video Camera for a long, uninterrupted period of time:
•This DVD Video Camera cannot be used for a long time continuously as a surveillance camera/monitor.
If you use the DVD Video Camera for a long continuous period of time, the temperature of the DVD Video
Camera could exceed its proper limit and the recording/playback operation could be slowed down: In this
case, turn it off and wait for a while before using it again.
