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 is fitted with a moisture sensor.
✤ If there is moisture inside the camcorder, (DEW) is displayed. If this happens, none of the functions
except cassette ejection will work.
