Condensation
Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water
droplets)
to
form on its internal surfaces. Stop using the camcorder if condensation is detected.
Continued use may damage
the
camcorder.
Condensation
may
form
in
the
following
cases:
• When the camcorder is moved quickly from cold
to
warm places
• When the camcorder is left
in
a humid room
• When a cold room is heated rapidly
To avoid
condensation
• Do not expose the camcorder
to
sudden
or
extreme changes
in
temperature.
• Remove the SD cards and battery pack. Then, place
the
camcorder
in
an airtight plastic bag and
let it adjust gradually
to
temperature changes before removing it from the bag.
When
condensation
is
detected
The precise time required for water droplets
to
evaporate will vary depending
on
the
location and
weather conditions. As a general rule, wait for 2 hours before resuming use of the camcorder.
