Cautions for Use (cont.)
∫ Condensation
If Condensation Has Formed Inside the Movie
Camera, Recording is Not Possible.
Symptoms of Condensation
If the following symptoms occur, condensation has
formed inside the Movie Camera.
1
The Condensation Indication [U10/3] on
the LCD Monitor or in the Viewfinder
flashes.
After this indication flashes for a few seconds,
the Movie Camera automatically turns off.
2
When you turn on the Movie Camera, it
turns off.
However, the Movie Camera also turns off
when the Battery is discharged.
Remedy
≥Wait a few hours before operating the Movie
Camera again.
(The actual time depends on the surrounding
conditions.)
≥Turn on the Movie Camera.
≥Confirm that the Condensation Indication is not
displayed any more.
≥For added safety, wait about 1 more hour.
Remarks about Condensation
≥Condensation can form if the Movie Camera is
suddenly brought from cold surroundings to a
place where it is hot or humid.
≥Since condensation forms gradually, there may
already be some condensation inside the Movie
Camera even before the Condensation Indication
begins to flash.
≥In an extremely cold place, condensation may
freeze and turn into frost. As the Movie Camera
cannot detect frost, the Condensation Indication
does not appear until the frost melts.
Precautions against Condensation
When moving it from a very cold place to a very
warm place, keep it in a tightly closed plastic bag
or similar to prevent condensation from forming.

∫ Cautions for Transport
≥When not actually recording, carry the Movie
Camera in a specially designed Carrying Case.
≥Keep the packing materials. When transporting
the Movie Camera in the future, pack it in the
same way as it was when you purchased it.
