Troubleshooting
Moisture Condensation
✤ If the camcorder is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense 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 a 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.
✤ Please follow this procedure when the DEW protection feature is
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.
