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).
