When condensation forms on the unit, 
the lens will cloud up and the unit may 
not work properly. Make every effort to 
ensure that condensation does not form. 
If it does form, take the actions described 
below. 
Causes of condensation
Condensation takes place when the 
ambient temperature or humidity is 
changed as follows.
≥ When this unit is brought inside from 
the cold (e.g. a ski slope) to a warm 
room.
≥ When this unit is moved from an 
air-conditioned car to outside.
≥ When a cold room has been warmed 
up quickly.
≥ When cool wind from an air conditioner 
is directly blown onto this unit.
≥ After summer afternoon showers of 
rain.
≥ When this unit is in a very humid place 
where the air is thick with steam. (e.g. 
a heated swimming pool)
When this unit is taken to a location 
with a significant temperature 
difference such as from a cold place 
to a hot place.
If, for example, you have used this unit for 
recording on a ski slope and are taking it 
into a heated room, place the unit inside 
a plastic bag, remove as much of the air 
from inside the bag as possible, then seal 
the bag. Leave the unit for about an hour 
in the room so the temperature of the unit 
is close to the ambient temperature of the 
room, then use it.
What to do with the lens is 
fogged up.
Remove the battery or disconnect the AC 
adaptor and leave the unit for about 
1 hour. When the unit becomes close to 
the ambient temperature, the fog 
disappears naturally.
