Condensation
How to find out whether there is condensation
inside and what to do about it if it has formed
If the condensation mark blinks after the camera-
recorder’s power has been turned on, it means that
condensation has formed inside the camera-recorder.
If this has happened, the power is automatically turned
off within a matter of seconds.
Take the following action.
Remove the cassette
No other functions will be operational. It may not
even be possible to remove the cassette tape
depending on the amount of condensation. If this is
the case, wait two to three hours before removing
the cassette.
Wait two to three hours with the cassette holder
open.
The time you need to wait will differ depending on
the amount of condensation and the ambient tem-
perature.
Turn on the power two to three hours later and
check whether or not the condensation display
has gone off.
To make doubly sure, wait another hour or so after
the condensation display has gone off before using
the camera-recorder again.
Also remember that even when the condensation
display has not appeared, condensation may be
forming.
• Condensation builds up gradually so the condensa-
tion display may not appear for 10 to 15 minutes
after it has started to form inside.
• In very cold areas, the condensation may freeze. If
this happens, it will take another two to three hours
for it to thaw out.
