Causes of Condensation and Remedy
When condensation has formed inside the Movie Camera and
on the tape, recording becomes impossible. In addition, the tape
might remain in contact with the heads and this could seriously
damage the Movie Camera.
∫ Main Causes of Condensation
≥When the Movie Camera is brought from a cold to a warm
place.
≥When the Movie Camera is taken outdoors from inside an air-
conditioned car or house.
≥When the heating is turned on in a cold room.
≥When the Movie Camera is exposed to the cold breeze from
an air-conditioner.
≥When the Movie Camera is in a very hot or humid place or in a
place with steam.
∫ Symptoms of Condensation
When turning on the Movie Camera, the Condensation
Indication [3] appears.
(A few seconds later, the Movie Camera automatically turns
itself off.)
∫ Remedy as Follows:
1. Take out the cassette.
2. Keep the Cassette Compartment open and wait a few
hours.
3. A few hours later, turn on the Movie Camera and confirm
that the Condensation Indication is not displayed any more.
For added safety, wait about 1 more hour.
∫ To Prevent Condensation from Forming
When bringing the Movie Camera from a very cold to a warm
place, keep it in a tightly closed plastic bag or something similar
for 1 to 2 hours before using it again.
∫ When the Lens Is Fogged up
Turn the Movie Camera on and wait for about 1 hour until it has
reached about the same temperature as its surroundings.
Video Head Clogging and Remedy
If the video heads become dirty and clogged with dust, the
picture quality deteriorates.
∫ Symptoms of Dirty Video Heads
≥When turning on the Movie Camera, the [:] Indication
appears.
≥When playing back a cassette on the Movie Camera and
watching the picture on a connected TV, white noise bars
appear in the picture. However, if the heads are extremely
dirty, the playback picture cannot be seen at all.
∫ Remedy as Follows:
Use a video head cleaning cassette to clean the heads.
Carefully follow the instructions for its use as too much cleaning
wears down the heads. If the playback picture is not clear after
cleaning, it means that the video heads are worn out. Consult
qualified service personnel.
