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 tape, or on the lens.  In this
condition, the tape may stick to the head drum and be damaged or your camcorder may
not operate correctly. If there is moisture inside your camcorder, the beep sounds and
the 

{

 indicator flashes. When the 

6

 indicator flashes at the same time, the cassette is

inserted in your camcorder. If moisture condenses on the lens, the indicator will not
appear.

If moisture condensation occurred

None of the functions except cassette ejection will work. Eject the cassette, turn off your
camcorder, and leave it for about 1 hour with the cassette compartment open. Your
camcorder can be used again if the 

{

 indicator does not appear when the power is

turned on again.

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 hot 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 high temperature and humidity 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 tightly seal it. Remove the bag when the air temperature
inside the plastic bag has reached the surrounding temperature (after about 1 hour).
