Cautions for Use
ª
About condensation
If you turn the movie camera 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.

Dews are slightly adhering on the head or the 
tape.
3 in red:
Dews are 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 movie camera 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 movie camera 
for about 30 minutes.
When [
3] in red
≥The power 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 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 movie 
camera, 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 
movie camera in this condition for about 1 hour. 
When the lens temperature becomes close to the 
ambient temperature, the fogging disappears 
naturally.
