How to avoid condensation:
Unload the cassette, place the camcorder in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust to
temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.
When condensation is detected:
The camcorder stops operating and the warning message “CONDENSATION HAS
BEEN DETECTED” appears for approx. 4 seconds and “ ” starts flashing.
If a cassette is loaded, the warning messages “CONDENSATION HAS BEEN
DETECTED” and “REMOVE THE CASSETTE” appear and “ ” starts flashing.
Remove the cassette immediately and leave the cassette compartment open. Leaving
the cassette in the camcorder may damage the tape.
A cassette cannot be loaded when condensation is detected.
Resuming use:
It takes about 1 hour until the water droplets evaporate. After the condensation warning
stops flashing, wait for 1 more hour before resuming use.
