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. 

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.

Remove the battery or AC adaptor and leave the 
unit for about 1 hour. When the unit becomes 
close to the ambient temperature, the fog 
disappears naturally.

White balance adjustment recognizes the color 
of light and adjusts so the white color will 
become a purer white. The unit determines the 
hue of light that comes through the lens and 
white balance sensor, thereby judging the 
recording condition, and selects the closest hue 
setting.
This is called automatic white balance 
adjustment.
However, since the unit only stores white color 
information under several light sources, 
automatic white balance adjustment does not 
function normally under other light sources.

The illustration above shows the range over 
which the auto white balance functions.
