1) A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensa-
tion to form inside the camcorder.
for example:
■ When you take the camcorder from cold temperature outside to
warm temperature inside during the winter.
■ When you take the camcorder from cool temperature inside to hot
temperature outside during the summer.
2) If the “DEW” protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder
in the dry and warm room with the cassette compartment opened
and the battery removed.
3) If the “DEW” protection feature is activated unexpectedly, and you
want to override it, reinstall the battery pack and the lithium battery
after detaching the battery pack and lithium battery.

pletely. (see page 58)
