• What is dew condensation?

Dew condensation occurs when you move a camcorder between locations that have significant temperature difference. The dew condenses on the external or internal parts of the camcorder, and on the reflection lens. When this happens, it may cause the camcorder to malfunction or damage the camcorder when you turn the power on.

Exactly when does the dew condensation occur?

When you move the camera to a location with a higher temperature than the previous location, or when you move it to a hot area suddenly. Examples:

-You record outside in cold weather during -- the winter and then move the camera in indoors.

-You record outside in hot weather after being indoors or inside a car where the A/C was running.

What can you do?

Turn the power off, detach the battery pack, and leave the camcorder in a dry area for 1 to 2 hours before using it.
