Caution

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

What is Dew Condensation?

Dew condensation happens when a DVD Camcorder is moved to a place where there is a signiﬁcant temperature difference 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 DVD Camcorder and on the reﬂection lens and the surface of the disc which are related to playback. When this happens, you temporarily may not use the record or play functions of the DVD Camcorder.

Also, it may cause a malfunction or damage to the DVD Camcorder when using the device with the power on while there is dew 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 the dew 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, it will

cause condensation.
1)	When recording outside in cold weather during the winter and then using it in indoors.
2)	When recording outside in hot weather after being indoors or inside a car where the AC was running.	117
