ªAbout condensation

If you turn the movie camera 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.

1Remove the tape if it is inserted.

≥It takes about 20 seconds to open the cassette holder. This is not a malfunction.

2Leave 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.

3Turn 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 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.
