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

•What is condensation?

Condensation occurs when a camcorder is moved to a place where the temperature differs significantly from the previous place. In other words, the water vapor in the air turns into dew because of the temperature difference, and it condensates like dew on the external or internal lenses of the camcorder and on the reflection lens.

When this happens, you temporarily may not use the record or play functions of the camcorder. Also, it may cause a malfunction or damage to the camcorder when using the device with the power on while there is condensation.

•What can I do?

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

•When does condensation occur?

When the device is relocated to a place with a higher temperature than the previous location, or when using it in a hot area suddenly.

-When recording outdoors in cold weather during the winter and then using it in indoors.

-When recording outdoors in hot weather after being indoors or inside a car where the air conditioner was running.
