TO AVOID CONDENSATION 
   Do not expose the camcorder to 
sudden or extreme changes in 
temperature.
   Unload the disc, place the camcorder in 
an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust to 
temperature changes slowly before 
removing it from the bag.

If a disc is loaded, remove the disc 
immediately and leave the disc cover 
open. Leaving the disc in the camcorder 
may damage it.
