Moisture Condensation

If the camcorder is brought directly from a cold place to a warm
place, moisture may condense inside the camcorder,
on the surface of the tape, or on the lens. In this condition, the
tape may stick to the head drum and be damaged or the unit
may not operate correctly.
To prevent possible damage under these circumstances, the
camcorder is fitted with a moisture sensor.
If there is moisture inside the camcorder,
displayed. If this happens, none of the functions except
cassette ejection will work.
Open the cassette compartment and remove the battery.
Leave the camcorder for at least two hours in a dry warm
102 102 room.
