Characteristic Phenomenon of CCD Cameras
Smear
Smear occurs when shooting high-intensity subjects, and occurs more easily as the electronic
shutter speed increases.
Maintenance
Condensation
If the unit is moved from a cold location to a warm location or used in areas with high humidity, the
moisture in the air may adhere as water droplets on the head drum. This is called condensation,
and if the tape is run under these conditions, it will easily stick to the drum. Therefore, the following
points should be observed.
ÁIf the unit is moved under conditions where condensation may occur, eject the tape.
ÁBefore inserting the tape, set the POWER switch to ON and check that the HUMID display in the
display window is not lighted. If the HUMID display is lighted, do not insert the tape until the
display goes off.
|Note{
To ensure safe operation, MID continues to flash for 80 minutes after the condensation detection
has been released. During this period, the function buttons will not respond even when they are
operated.
The HUMID display
is not lighted.
