Protecting the camera from condensation
• Before you bring the camera to a warm or humid place where condensation is likely to be a problem,
unload the cassette and put the camera in a plastic bag. Wait until the camera reaches room temperature
before you take it out of the bag.
What happens when condensation is detected
• The operation indicator flashes the
h
mark flashes in the viewfinder. If there is a cassette in the camera, it
stops automatically and EJECT flashes in the viewfinder.
• The camera may not detect the condensation immediately — the condensation warning may not start
flashing for 10 to 15 minutes.
• You cannot load a cassette when condensation is detected.
What you should do
• Remove the cassette, leave the cassette compartment open, and turn the camera off.
• Leave it in a dry place until the condensation evaporates. After the condensation warning stops flashing,
wait at least another hour before trying to use the camera.
