PRECAUTIONS

Condensation

Condensation

is

the

moisture

that

forms

on

the

outside

of

a

glass

when

you

fill

it

with

cold

water.

Your

camcorder

incorporates

a

special

safety

device

to

avoid

damage

to

the

unit

and

to

protect

the

internal

mechanisms

and

tape

when

condensation

is

detected

inside

the

unit.

Conditions

where

condensation

might

appear

@

|f

the

camcorder

is

suddenly

moved

from

a

cold

place

to

a

warm,

humid

one,

or

vice

versa.

@

|f

a

heater

has

been

turned

on

to

quickly

heat

the

room,

or

if

the

level

of

humidity

is

high.

@

if

taken

from

an

air

conditioned

room,

or

car

to

a

hot

humid

place.

Condensation

warning

indicator

@

If

condensation

is

detected

inside

the

camcorder,

the

warning

indicator

illustrated

below

(A)

will

flash

in

the

viewfinder.

As

condensation

may

also

appear

inside

the

cassette

casing,

the

warning

indicator

(B)

might

also

flash

when

the

cassette

is

loaded.

When

one

of

those

indicators

is

displayed,

the

controls

will

be

inoperative,

except

to

unload

the

cassette.

In

such

a

case,

eject

the

cassette

and

wait

for

1-

2

hours

for

the

condensation

to

dry

up.

The

time

required

to

completely

eliminate

condensation

may

vary

according

to

conditions.

@

The

first

sign

of

condensation

is

fogging

of

the

camcorder

lens

and

viewfinder.

As

condensation

may

not

have

yet

reached

the

inside

of

the

camcorder

the

warning

indicators

will

not

appear.

To

stop

the

formation

of

condensation,

wrap

the

camcorder

in

a

cloth

until

the

fogging

on

the

lens

and

in

the

viewfinder

disappears.

To

prevent

formation

of

condensation

In

places

like

ski

slopes,

where

the

camcorder

is

subject

to

temperature

variations,

place

the

camcorder

in

a

plastic

bag

before

using

it

outside.

When

bringing

back

the

camcorder

indoors,

leave

it

in

the

plastic

bag

for

about

one

hour.
