■ Condensation
Determining Whether the Condensation Has
Formed inside and Remedy for Condensation
If the Condensation indication flashes after you turn on
the Movie Camera, condensation has formed inside the
Movie Camera. In this case, the Movie Camera
automatically switches off after a few seconds.
Remedy as follows:
1 Take out the cassette.
Ail other functions do not work. Depending on the
amount of condensation, it may not be possible to
take out the cassette. In this case, wait 2 - 3 hours
before taking out the cassette.
2
Leave the Cassette Compartment open and
wait for 2-3 hours.
The required time depends on the amount of
condensation and the ambient temperature.
3
After 2-3 hours, turn the Movie Camera on
and check if the Condensation Indication is
not displayed.
Even if the Condensation Indication is no longer
displayed, wait 1 more hour for added safety before
using the Movie Camera again.
Pay Attention to Condensation Even Before the
Condensation Indication Appears.
• As condensation forms gradually, the Condensation
Indication may not appear for 10-15 minutes after the
condensation has formed inside.
• In an extremely cold place, the condensation could
freeze and turn into frost. In such a case, it takes an
additional 2-3 hours for the frost to first melt into
condensation and then to be dissolved.
Remedy for a Fogged-up Lens
Set the [POWER ON/OFF] Switch to [OFF] and leave the
Movie Camera in this condition for about 1 hour. When
the lens has reached about the same temperature as its
surroundings, it automatically clears up.
■ Video Heads Clogging and Remedy
If the video heads (which contact the tape) are dirty, the
playback picture contains rectangular blocks of picture
noise or the whole screen becomes blue. If they are very
dirty, the recording performance deteriorates and in the
worst case, recording may not be possible at all.
Causes of Dirty Video Heads
•A lot of dust in the air.
• High-temperature and high-humidity environment.
•Damaged tape.
•Long-time use.
Periodic Inspection
To ensure optimum picture quality, we recommend that
you have worn out parts such as video heads replaced
after approximately 1000 hours of use. (However, this
depends considerably on the conditions of use such as
temperature, humidity and dust.)
