About condensation
If you turn the movie camera on when 
condensation occurs on the head or the tape, 
condensation Indication [
3] 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.
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 
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.
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 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 the 
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.
