1) A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to
form inside the camcorder.
for example:
■ When you take the camcorder from cold temperature outside to warm
temperature inside during the winter.
■ When you take the camcorder from cool temperature inside to hot
temperature outside during the summer.
2) If the “DEW( )” protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder in a
dry, warm room with the cassette compartment opened and the battery
removed.
3) If you want to override the “DEW( )” protection feature after it has been
unexpectedly activated, detach the battery pack and lithium battery and then
replace them.
