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.
3 in yellow:
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

and then the movie camera automatically

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.
