≥If the Battery is left on the Movie Camera for a 
long time, the voltage drops excessively, and 
the Battery will not function even after it is 
recharged.
ª About AC Adaptor
≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely 
high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp 
may continue flashing, and the Battery may not 
be charged. After the temperature of the Battery 
has decreased or increased sufficiently, 
charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] 
Lamp continues to flash even after the Battery 
temperature has decreased or increased 
sufficiently, the Battery or AC Adaptor may be 
faulty. In this case, please contact a dealer.
≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer 
time than normal.
≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio 
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC 
Adaptor 1 metre or more away from radio.
≥When using the AC Adaptor, it may generate 
whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Mains Lead 
from the AC mains socket. (If they are left 
connected, a minute amount of current is 
consumed.)
≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and 
Battery always clean.
ª Condensation
If you turn the Movie Camera on when 
condensation occurs on the head or the tape, 
Condensation Indication [
3DEW] (yellow or red) 
blinks on the Viewfinder or the LCD monitor and 
the messages [DEW DETECT] or [EJECT TAPE] 
(only when the tape is inserted) appear. In this 
case, follow the procedure below.
Blink in yellow:
Dews are slightly adhering on the head or the 
tape.
Blink in red:
Dews are adhere on the head or the tape.
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 
Compartment Cover closed to cool or warm 
it to the ambient temperature.
When [
3DEW] blinks in yellow
≥Leave the Movie Camera for about 30 
minutes.
When [
3DEW] blinks in red
≥The Power Indicator Lamp blinks for about 1 
minute and then the Movie Camera 
automatically turns off. Leave it for about 2 
to 3 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 districts, dews may be frozen. 
In this case, 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 Movie 
Camera, it also may occur on the head and the 
tape. Do not open the Cassette Compartment 
Cover.
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.
ª Video Head Clogging and Care
If the heads (the parts that make contact with the 
tape) are dirty, mosaic-pattern noise may appear 
on the playback image, or the screen as a whole 
becomes black. If the heads are extremely dirty, 
recording performance deteriorates, and, in the 
worst case, the Movie Camera cannot record at 
all.
Causes of Dirty Heads
≥Large quantity of dust in the air
≥High-temperature and high-humidity 
environment
≥Damaged tape
≥Long operating hours
Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head 
Cleaner
1
Insert the Head Cleaner into the Movie 
Camera in the same manner as a Video 
Cassette.
2
Press the [
1] Button, and approximately 
20 seconds later, press the [
] Button. (Do 
not rewind the tape.)
3
Take out the Head Cleaner. Insert a Video 
Cassette and start recording. Then, play the 
tape back to check the recorded image.
4
If the image is not still clear, repeat 
Steps 1 to 3. (Do not use the Head Cleaner 
for 3 times or more consecutively.)
Notes:
≥Do not rewind every time you use the Head 
Cleaner. Rewind only when the tape reaches 
the end, and then use it again from the 
beginning in the same manner as before.
≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning, 
the tape may be damaged. In this case, 
immediately stop using that Cassette.
≥Do not clean the heads excessively. (Excessive 
cleaning may cause excessive wear of the
