■ Condensation
Determining Whether Condensation Has Formed
Inside and Remedy for Condensation
If the Condensation Indication flashes after you turn on the
Movie Camera, condensation has formed inside the Movie
Camera. In this case, the Movie Camera automatically
switches off after approximately 1 minute.
Remedy as follows:
1 Take out the cassette.
All other functions do not work. Depending on the
amount of condensation, it may not be possible to take
out the cassette. In this case, wait 2-3 hours before
taking out the cassette.
2 Leave the Cassette Compartment open and
wait for 2-3 hours.
The required time depends on the amount of
condensation and the ambient temperature.
3 After 2-3 hours, turn the Movie Camera on and
check If the Condensation Indication is
displayed.
Even if the Condensation Indication is no longer
displayed, wait 1 more hour for added safety before
using the Movie Camera again.
Pay Attention to Condensation Even Before the
Condensation Indication Appears.
•As condensation forms gradually, the Condensation
Indication may not appear for the first 10-15 minutes after
condensation has formed Inside.
•in an extremely cold place, the condensation could freeze
and turn into frost. In such a case, it takes an additional
2-3 hours for the frost to first melt Into condensation and
then to be dissolved.
Remedy for a Fogged-up Lens
Set the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF] and leave the Movie
Camera in this condition for about 1 hour. When the lens has
reached about the same temperature as its surroundings, it
automatically clears up.
