Condensation may form in the following cases:
How to avoid condensation:
 Do not expose the camcorder to sudden or extreme changes in temperature.
 Unload the disc, place the camcorder in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust to
temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
When condensation is detected:
 The camcorder automatically shuts off. If a disc is loaded, remove the disc immediately
and leave the disc cover open. Leaving the disc in the camcorder may damage it.
 A disc cannot be loaded when condensation is detected.
Resuming use:
 The precise time required for water droplets to evaporate will vary depending on the
location and weather conditions. As a general criterion, wait for 2 hours before
resuming use of the camcorder.
