Models with waterproof function are airtight. When the temperature rises during recording, condensation can occur inside the lens due to the internal humidity.
o
During recording
To prevent the temperature of this unit from rising, we recommend that you use the unit in the following ways.
A
Avoid frequent exposure to direct sunlight. Record under the shade or use an umbrella. Best if you could keep a wet towel cover the unit.
B
The use of a tripod is recommended. Long
hours of recording while holding the unit in your hands will cause
the temperature of the unit to rise.
C
It is better to leave the terminal cover open while recording. However, the waterproof, dust-proof and shockproof features do not function in this condition. Do take note of the environment when using the camera. (Do not use a wet towel.)
D
Make sure to turn off the power when you are not recording. When the LCD monitor is closed, the unit turns off.
o
During charging
It is recommended to charge the unit in a low humidity environment. The moist air inside the unit can cause condensation. We recommend that you charge the unit in a room where humidifier is not in use, and in an air-conditioned room during summer.
