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 from
an air-conditioned room to a warm,
humid place
• When the camcorder is moved from a
cold place to a warm room
• When the camcorder is left in a humid
room
• When a cold room is heated rapidly
• Do not expose the camcorder to
sudden or extreme changes in
temperature.
• Remove the cassette, place the
camcorder in an airtight plastic bag
and let it adjust to temperature
changes slowly before removing it
from the bag.
• The camcorder automatically shuts
off, the warning message
“CONDENSATION HAS BEEN
DETECTED” appears for approx.
4 seconds and starts flashing.
• If a cassette is loaded, the warning
message “REMOVE THE CASSETTE”
appears and starts flashing.
Remove the cassette immediately
and leave the cassette compartment
open. Leaving the cassette in the
camcorder may damage the tape.
• A cassette cannot be loaded when
condensation is detected.
The precise time required for water
droplets to evaporate will vary
depending on the location and weather
conditions. After the condensation
warning stops flashing, wait for 1 more
hour before resuming use.
