Protecting the camera from condensation
• Before you take the camera to a warm or humid place where condensation is likely to be a
problem, unload the cassette and put the camera in a plastic bag. Wait until the camera
reaches room temperature before you take it out of the bag.
• When the surface of the video camera is wet, do not use it. Wait for hours until the whole video
camera dries.
What happens when condensation is detected
• If EJECT flashes in the display, unload and load the cassette couple of times. After this
operation, if EJECT still continues flashing in the display, condensation may have formed.
What to do
• Remove the cassette, leave the cassette compartment open, and turn the power off.
• Leave the camera and cassette in a dry place for more than one hour.
• After more than one hour and load a cassette. If EJECT still continues flashing in the display,
the camera may need repair.

Condensation may form on the camera when it is moved from a cold place to a warm place.
