DEW (MOISTURE CONDENSATION)
If you pour cold liquid into a glass, water vapor in
the air will condense on the surface of the glass.
This is moisture condensation. Moisture
condensation on the head drum, one of the most
crucial parts of the unit, will cause damage to the
tape. When the unit is exposed to a rapid
temperature change from cold to warm, some
condensation will occur. Under this condition, the
power light will flash and the video camcorder will
not operate. Leave power on until the Dew
Indicator stops flashing in the electric viewfinder.
Then the unit can be operated.
