Condensation
How to find out if there is condensation inside
and what to do about it
If the condensation mark blinks, condensation
has formed inside the camera-recorder. If this
happens, the power automatically turns off in few
seconds. Even if the condensation mark is
displayed, the camera-recorder will operate if set
to P2 mode. If the camera-recorder is switched
back to tape mode, the condensation mark is
displayed again, and the power automatically turns
off in a few seconds.
Take the following action.
(1) Remove the cassette.
No other functions will be possible. It may not
even be possible to remove the cassette tape
depending on the amount of condensation. If
this is the case, wait two to three hours before
removing the cassette.
(2) Wait two to three hours with the cassette holder
open.
The time you need to wait depends on the
amount of condensation and the ambient
temperature.
(3) Turn on the power two to three hours later and
check whether or not the condensation display
has gone off.
To make doubly sure, wait another hour or so
after the condensation display has gone off
before using the camera-recorder again.
Also remember that even when the
condensation display has not appeared,
condensation may be forming.
• Condensation builds up gradually so the
condensation display may not appear for 10 to 15
minutes after it has started to form inside.
In very cold areas, the condensation may freeze. If
this happens, it will take another two to three hours
for it to thaw out.
