Cautions for Use
ªAbout condensation
If you turn the Camcorder on when condensation occurs on the head or the tape, condensation Indication [3] (yellow or red) is displayed on the viewfinder or the LCD monitor and the messages [3DEW DETECT] or [3EJECT TAPE] (only when the tape is inserted) appear. If so, follow the procedure below.
3in yellow:
Dew is slightly adhering on the head or the tape.
3in red:
Dew is adhering on the head or the tape.
1Remove the tape if it is inserted.
≥It takes about 20 seconds to open the cassette holder. This is not a malfunction.
2Leave the Camcorder with the cassette cover closed to cool or warm it to the ambient temperature.
When [3] in yellow
≥You cannot use the Tape Recording/ Playback Mode. Leave the Camcorder for about 30 minutes.
≥However, you can use the Card Recording Mode or Picture Playback Mode when a cassette is not inserted.
When [3] in red
≥The power Lamp blinks for about 1 minute and then the Camcorder automatically turns off. Leave it for about 2 to 3 hours.
3Turn the Camcorder 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. ≥The condensation indication may not appear
depending on circumstances. When condensation occurs on the lens or the Camcorder, it may also occur on the head and the tape. Do not open the cassette cover.
When the lens is fogged:
Set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF] and leave the Camcorder in this condition for about 1 hour. When the lens temperature becomes close to the ambient temperature, the fogging disappears naturally.
