On moisture condensation
If your camcorder is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture
may condense inside your camcorder. This may cause a malfunction to your
camcorder.
If moisture condensation occurs, leave your camcorder for about 1 hour without
turning it on.
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:
You bring your camcorder from a ski slope into a place warmed up by a
heating device.
You bring your camcorder from an air conditioned car or room into a hot place
outside.
You use your camcorder after a squall or a rain.
You use your camcorder in a hot and humid place.
How to prevent moisture condensation
When you bring your camcorder from a cold place into a warm place, put your
camcorder in a plastic bag and seal it tightly. Remove the bag when the air
temperature inside the plastic bag has reached the surrounding temperature
(after about 1 hour).
