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 if the lens is fogged up.
Remove the battery or AC adaptor and leave the
unit for about 1 hour. When the unit becomes
close to the ambient temperature, the fog
disappears naturally.
Explanation of terms
Automatic white balance
White balance adjustment recognizes the color
of light and adjusts so the white color will
become a purer white. The unit determines the
hue of light that comes through the lens and
white balance sensor, thereby judging the
recording condition, and selects the closest hue
setting.
This is called automatic white balance
adjustment.
However, since the unit only stores white color
information under certain light sources,
automatic white balance adjustment does not
function normally under other light sources.
The illustration above shows the range over
which the auto white balance functions.
1) The effective range of automatic white
balance adjustment on this unit
2) Blue sky
3) Cloudy sky (rain)
4) TV screen
5) Sunlight
6) White fluorescent lamp
7) Halogen light bulb
8) Incandescent light bulb
9) Sunrise or sunset
10) Candlelight
Outside of the effective range of automatic white
balance adjustment, the image will become
reddish or bluish. Even within the effective range
of automatic white balance adjustment, the
automatic white balance adjustment may not
function properly if there is more than one light
