When there is dew condensation, put the camcorder aside 
for a while before using

What is dew condensation? 
Dew condensation happens when a camcorder is moved to a 
location where there is a significant temperature difference from 
the previous location. The dew condenses on the external or 
internal parts of the camcorder, and on the reflection lens. If there 
is dew on or in your camcorder, it may cause the camcorder to 
malfunction or damage the camcorder when you turn the power 
on.

Exactly when does dew condensation occur? 
When you move the camera to a location with a higher 
temperature than the previous location, or when you move it to a 
hot area suddenly. Examples:
-  

You record outside in cold weather during the winter and 
then move the camera in indoors.

-  

You record outside in hot weather after being indoors or 
inside a car where the A/C was running.

What can I do?
-  

Turn the power off, detach the battery, and leave the 
camcorder in a dry area for 1~2 hours before using it.

USING YOUR CAMCORDER ABROAD

Each country or region has its own electric and color systems.
Before using your camcorder abroad, check the following items.

The power adaptor provided lets you power, recharge, and use your 
camcorder in any country/region that has the power in the 100 V to 
240 V, 50/60 Hz range. You may need a commercially available AC 
plug adaptor depending on the design of local wall outlets.

Your camcorder is an NTSC based camcorder. If you want to view 
your recordings on a TV or copy them to an external device, it must 
be an NTSC based TV or external device and have the appropriate 
Audio/Video jacks. Otherwise, you may need to use a separate 
video format transcoder (For example, an NTSC to PAL format 
converter).

The format transcoder is not provided by Samsung.
