E Additional Information 99 E Condensation 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.

Wait until the camcorder reaches room temperature before you take it out of the bag. What happens when condensation is detected • “CONDENSATION 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 “REMOVE 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. 100 Troubleshooting Refer to this checklist first if you have any problems with your camcorder.
