Moisture Condensation
✤
If the camcorder is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form 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 has
the built-in moisture sensor.
✤
If there is moisture inside the camcorder, “DEW( )” is displayed.
If this happens, none of the functions except cassette ejection will work.
Open the cassette compartment and remove the battery for at least two
hours in a warm dry room.
✤
If the DEW protection feature unexpectedly activated and you want to
override it: (Please make sure that the condensation has disappeared
completely.)
1. Take the battery pack out.
2. Take the lithium battery out.
3. Put the lithium battery back.
4. Put the battery pack back.
