When there is dew condensation, do not use the camcorder for a while
• What is dew condensation?
Dew condensation happens when a memory 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 memory camcorder and on the reflection lens.
When this happens, you temporarily may not use the record or play functions of the memory camcorder.
Also, it may cause a malfunction or damage to the memory 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 in indoors.
- When recording outside in hot weather after being indoors or inside a car where the AC was running.
Note before sending your camcorder for repair.
