Causes of Condensation and Remedy
When condensation has formed inside the Movie Camera and on the tape, recording becomes impossible. In addition, the tape might remain in contact with the heads and this could seriously damage the Movie Camera.
∫Main Causes of Condensation
≥When the Movie Camera is brought from a cold to a warm place.
≥When the Movie Camera is taken outdoors from inside an
≥When the heating is turned on in a cold room.
≥When the Movie Camera is exposed to the cold breeze from an
≥When the Movie Camera is in a very hot or humid place or in a place with steam.
∫Symptoms of Condensation
When turning on the Movie Camera, the Condensation Indication [U10/3] appears.
(A few seconds later, the Movie Camera automatically turns itself off.)
∫Remedy as Follows:
1. Take out the cassette.
2. Keep the Cassette Compartment open and wait a few hours.
3. A few hours later, turn on the Movie Camera and confirm that the Condensation Indication is not displayed any more. For added safety, wait about 1 more hour.
∫To Prevent Condensation from Forming
When bringing the Movie Camera from a very cold to a warm place, keep it in a tightly closed plastic bag or something similar for 1 to 2 hours before using it again.
∫When the Lens Is Fogged up
Turn the Movie Camera on and wait for about 1 hour until it has reached about the same temperature as its surroundings.
Video Head Clogging and Remedy
If the video heads become dirty and clogged with dust, the picture quality deteriorates.
∫Symptoms of Dirty Video Heads
≥When turning on the Movie Camera, the [U11/:] Indication appears for the first few seconds.
≥When playing back a cassette on the Movie Camera and watching the picture on a connected TV, white noise bars appear in the picture. However, if the heads are extremely dirty, the playback picture cannot be seen at all.
∫Remedy as Follows:
Use a video head cleaning cassette to clean the heads. Carefully follow the instructions for its use as too much cleaning wears down the heads. If the playback picture is not clear after cleaning, it means that the video heads are worn out. Consult qualified service personnel.
