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.
3 in yellow:
Dew is slightly adhering on the head or the tape.
3 in red:
Dew is adhering on the head or the tape.

Remove the tape if it is inserted.
≥It takes about 20 seconds to open the 

cassette holder. This is not a malfunction.

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.

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.

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.

ª

If video heads (the parts that closely contact 
with the tape) become dirty, normal recording 
and playback are not properly performed. 
Clean the heads with the digital video head 
cleaner.
≥Insert the head cleaner into the Camcorder, set 

it to the Tape Playback Mode, and play it back 
for about 10 to 20 seconds. (If you do not stop 
the playback, it automatically stops about 
30 seconds later.) 

≥We recommend cleaning the heads periodically.
If the heads become dirty, “NEED HEAD 
CLEANING” appears during recording. During 
playback, moreover, the following symptoms 
appear.

≥Mosaic-like noise appears partially or the 

sound is interrupted.

≥Black or blue mosaic-like horizontal stripes 

appear.

When normal playback cannot be performed 
even after the head cleaning
One possible cause is that normal recording 
could not be performed because the heads were 
dirty at the time of recording. Clean the heads, 
and perform recording and playback again. If 
normal playback can be performed, the heads are 
clean. Before an important recording, be sure to 
conduct a test recording to make sure that normal 
recording can be performed.
≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning, 

the problem may be the tape. If so, try another 
cassette.

≥During playback, the picture or sound may be 

interrupted momentarily, but this is not a 
malfunction of the Camcorder. (One possible 
cause is that the playback is interrupted by dirt 
or dust that momentarily adheres to the heads.)
