MOISTURE CONDENSATION

Condensation inside the camcorder can cause tape jams or video head damage. If the cam- corder senses moisture, TAPE flashes in the viewfinder.

If TAPE flashes in the viewfinder, or when you first use your camcorder after moving it from a cold area to a warm one, follow these steps.

1.Eject the cassette if one is installed.

2.If necessary, slide POWER to OFF.

3.Let the camcorder sit for about 1 hour before you begin operation.

Caution: Avoid using the camcorder in exces- sively humid areas.
