Hitachi VM-SPIA Instruction Manual page 16

WATER-RESISTANT
Note: Open or close the case so that no water, snow, rain, sand, etc. can enter into the
inner housing.
To close the case
Hold the left and right half of the case tightly and close the buckle until a click is heard.
Note: Lock the case securely using the buckle. Otherwise, it could allow water to enter.
TO PREVENT CONDENSATION
• When the VM-SP1A is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it for a while
until it reaches the ambient temperature before opening the case.
• Be careful that no water or snow flakes enter when opening the case. If they enter, the
humidity inside rises and condensation is likely to occur.
• Moisture also condenses on the lens. If moisture condenses on the lens, clear pictures
cannot be recorded.
• Dry the VM-SP1A with the case open and use it only after condensation on the lens
disappears.
• Opening the case will help condensation to evaporate more quickly.
