condensation occurs on the head or the tape,
condensation Indication [

viewfinder or the LCD monitor and the messages
[

DEW DETECT] or [
3
EJECT TAPE] (only
when the tape is inserted) appear. If so, follow the
procedure below.
1
Remove the tape if it is inserted.
≥
It takes about 20 seconds to open the
cassette holder. This is not a malfunction.
2
Leave the movie camera with the cassette
cover closed to cool or warm it to the
ambient temperature.
≥
The status indicator blinks for about
1 minute and then the movie camera
automatically turns off. Leave it for about
1.5 to 2 hours.
3
Turn the movie camera on again, set it to
the Tape Recording/Playback Mode and
then check if the condensation indication
disappears.
Especially in cold areas, moisture may be frozen.
If so, it may take more time before the
condensation indication disappears.
Watch for condensation even before the
condensation indication is displayed.
≥
If the indicator of the condensation does not
display on the LCD monitor and/or the
viewfinder and you notice condensation on the
lens or the main unit, do not open the cassette
cover otherwise condensation may be formed
on the heads or the cassette tape.
When the lens is fogged:
Set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF] and leave the
movie camera in this condition for about 1 hour.
When the lens temperature becomes close to the
ambient temperature, the fogging disappears
naturally.
