When condensation forms on the unit,
the lens will cloud up and the unit may
not work properly. Make every effort to
ensure that condensation does not form.
If it does form, take the actions described
below.
Causes of condensation
Condensation takes place when the
ambient temperature or humidity is
changed as follows.
When this unit is brought inside from
the cold (e.g. a ski slope) to a warm
room.
When this unit is moved from an
air-conditioned car to outside.
When a cold room has been warmed
up quickly.
When cool wind from an air conditioner
is directly blown onto this unit.
After summer afternoon showers of
rain.
When this unit is in a very humid place
where the air is thick with steam. (e.g.
a heated swimming pool)
When this unit is taken to a location
with a significant temperature
difference such as from a cold place
to a hot place.
If, for example, you have used this unit for
recording on a ski slope and are taking it
into a heated room, place the unit inside
a plastic bag, remove as much of the air
from inside the bag as possible, then seal
the bag. Leave the unit for about an hour
in the room so the temperature of the unit
is close to the ambient temperature of the
room, then use it.
What to do with the lens is
fogged up.
Remove the battery or disconnect the AC
adaptor and leave the unit for about
1 hour. When the unit becomes close to
the ambient temperature, the fog
disappears naturally.
