Moisture condensation
If your camcorder is brought directly from a
cold place to a warm place, moisture may
condense inside your camcorder, on the
surface of the disc, or on the pickup lens.
This may cause a malfunction to your
camcorder.
x If moisture condensation has occurred
Leave your camcorder for about 1 hour
without turning it on.
x 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
shower.
• You use your camcorder in a hot and
humid place.
x 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).

screen, as it may cause damage.
• If your camcorder is used in a cold place, a
residual image may appear on the LCD screen.
This is not a malfunction.

LCD screen may heat up. This is not a
malfunction.
