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.
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.
≥The Status indicator blinks for about
1 minute and then the movie camera
automatically turns off. Leave it for about 1.5
to 2 hours.
3
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

Watch for condensation even before the
condensation Indication is displayed.
≥If the indicator of the condensation does not
display on the LCD monitor and/or viewfinder
