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 has occurred
    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).
