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 with 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.
