If you turn the Camcorder 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.

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

cassette holder. This is not a malfunction.

≥The status indicator blinks for about 

1 minute and then the Camcorder 
automatically turns off. Leave it for about 
1.5 to 2 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.
≥If the indicator of the condensation does not 

display on the LCD screen and/or EVF 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 
Camcorder in this condition for about 1 hour. 
When the lens temperature becomes close to the 
ambient temperature, the fogging disappears 
naturally.

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 seconds. (If you do not stop the 
playback, it automatically stops about 
15 seconds later.) 

≥We recommend cleaning the heads periodically.

≥Mosaic-like noise appears partially or the 

sound is interrupted.

≥Black or blue mosaic-like horizontal stripes 

appear.

≥The whole screen becomes blue and there is 

no picture or sound.

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.)

≥When the Camcorder is used for a long time, 

the Camcorder body becomes warm, but this is 
not a malfunction.

Keep the Camcorder away from magnetized 
equipment such as a cellular phones, 
microwave ovens, TVs, and video game 
equipment.
≥If you use the Camcorder on or near a TV, 

images or sounds may be disturbed due to 
electromagnetic wave radiation.

≥Recordings on the tape may be damaged, or 

images may be distorted, by strong magnetic 
fields created by speakers or large motors.

≥Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by 

digital circuits including microprocessor may 
adversely affect the Camcorder, causing the 
disturbance of images and sounds.

≥If the Camcorder is affected by such equipment 

and does not function properly, turn off the 
Camcorder power and detach the battery or AC 
adaptor. Then, connect the battery or AC 
adaptor again and turn on the Camcorder 
power.

Do not use your Camcorder near radio 
transmitters or high-voltage cables.
≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or 

high-voltage cables, recorded images or sounds 
may be adversely affected.
