Condensation E Condensation may form on the camcorder when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place. Using the camcorder while condensation is present can damage both the tape and the camcorder. Condensation may become a problem: When you take the camcorder from a cold place to a warm room When a cold room is heated rapidly When the camcorder is left in a humid room When the camcorder is taken from an airconditioned room to a warm, humid place Protecting the camcorder from condensation • Before you take the camcorder to a warm or humid place where condensation is likely to be a problem, unload the cassette and put the camcorder in a plastic bag. Wait until the camcorder reaches room temperature before you take it out of the bag. What happens when condensation is detected • C" ONDENSATION HAS BEEN DETECTED"is displayed for approximately four seconds. Then, the power indicator flashes and the h mark flashes in the display. If there is a cassette in the camcorder, it stops automatically and R" EMOVE THE CASSETTE"is displayed for approximately 4 seconds and then v flashes in the display. If you have the beep turned on, it will sound. • The camcorder may not detect the condensation immediately - the condensation warning may not start flashing for 10 to 15 minutes. • You cannot load a cassette when condensation is detected. What you should do • Remove the cassette, leave the cassette compartment open, and turn the camcorder off. • Leave it in a dry place until the condensation evaporates. After the condensation warning stops flashing, wait at least another hour before trying to use the camcorder. Additional Information 140
