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

CAUTION • What is dew condensation?

Dew condensation happens when a HD camcorder is moved to a place where there is a significant temperature difference from the previous place. The Dew condenses on the external or internal lenses of the HD camcorder, and on the reflection lens. When this happens, it may cause a malfunction or damage to the HD 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.

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

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