About 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.
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.
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 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.
3
Turn 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.
