Moisture condensation
If your camcorder is brought directly from

may condense inside your camcorder, on
the surface of the disc, or on the pickup
lens. This may cause a malfunction to your
camcorder. If there is moisture inside your

off for 1H] or [Cannot open Try later]
appears.
The indication will not appear when the
moisture condenses on the camera lens.

Note on moisture condensation
Moisture may condense when you bring
your camcorder from a cold place into a
warm place (or vice versa) or when you
use your camcorder in a humid place as
follows:

a place warmed up by a heating device.

conditioned car or room into a hot place
outside.
On use and care
Do not use or store the camcorder and

sand or dust gets in your camcorder, it may
malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction
cannot be repaired.
– Near windows or outdoors, where the LCD
screen, the viewfinder, or the lens may be
exposed to direct sunlight. This damages the
inside of the viewfinder or the LCD screen.
