When there is dew condensation, put the product aside for a while before using

What is dew condensation?

Dew condensation happens when a product is moved to a location where there is a significant temperature difference from the previous location. The dew condenses on the external or internal parts of the product, and on the reflection lens. If there is dew on or in your product, it may cause the product to malfunction or damage the product when you turn the power on.

Exactly when does dew condensation occur?

When you move the product 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 product in indoors.

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

What can I do?

-Turn the power off, and leave the product in a dry area for 1~2 hours before using it.

Use the product only after dew condensation has completely disappeared.
