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 tem-
perature.
