Blink in yellow:

Dews are slightly adhering on the head or the

tape.

Blink in red:

Dews are adhering on the head or the tape.

1 Remove the tape if it is inserted.

≥It takes about 20 seconds to open the

Cassette Holder. This is not a malfunction.

2 Leave the Movie Camera with the Cassette

Compartment Cover closed to cool or warm

it to the ambient temperature.

When [3DEW] blinks in yellow

≥You cannot use the Tape Recording/

Playback Mode. Leave the Movie Camera

for about 30 minutes.

≥However, you can use the Card Recording

Mode or Picture Playback Mode when the

cassette is not inserted.

When [3DEW] blinks in red

≥The Power Indicator Lamp blinks for about

1 minute and then the Movie Camera

automatically turns off. Leave it for about

2 to 3 hours.

3 Turn the Movie Camera on again, set it to

the Tape Recording/Playback Mode and

then check if the Condensation Indication

disappears.

Especially in cold districts, dews may be frozen.

In this case, it may take more time before the

Condensation Indication disappears.

Watch for Condensation even before the

Condensation Indication is displayed.

≥The Condensation Indication may not appear

depending on circumstances. When

condensation occurs on the lens or the Movie

Camera, it also may occur on the head and the

tape. Do not open the Cassette Compartment

Cover.

When the Lens is Fogged:

Set the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF] and leave the

Movie Camera in this condition for about 1 hour.

When the lens temperature becomes close to the

ambient temperature, the fogging disappears

naturally.

ª Video Head Clogging and Care

If the heads (the parts that make contact with the

tape) are dirty, mosaic-pattern noise may appear

on the playback image, or the screen as a whole

becomes black. If the heads are extremely dirty,

recording performance deteriorates, and, in the

worst case, the Movie Camera cannot record at

all.

Causes of Dirty Heads

≥Large quantity of dust in the air

≥High-temperature and high-humidity

environment

≥Damaged tape

≥Long operating hours

Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head

Cleaner

1 Insert the Head Cleaner into the Movie

Camera in the same manner as a Video

Cassette.

2 Press the [1] Button, and approximately

20 seconds later, press the [∫] Button. (Do

not rewind the tape.)

3 Take out the Head Cleaner. Insert a Video

Cassette and start recording. Then, play the

tape back to check the recorded image.

4 If the image is not still clear, repeat

Steps 1 to 3. (Do not use the Head Cleaner

for 3 times or more consecutively.)

Notes:

≥Do not rewind every time you use the Head

Cleaner. Rewind only when the tape reaches

the end, and then use it again from the

beginning in the same manner as before.

≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning,

the tape may be damaged. In this case,

immediately stop using that Cassette.

≥Do not clean the heads excessively. (Excessive

cleaning may cause excessive wear of the

heads. If the heads are worn, images cannot be

played back even after the heads are cleaned.)

≥If the dirty heads cannot be cleaned with the

Head Cleaner, the Movie Camera needs to be

cleaned at a service centre. Please consult a

dealer.

≥Video Head Cleaners can be purchased from

service centres.

≥Head cleaning due to dirty heads is not

considered a malfunction of the product. It is not

covered by the warranty.

Periodical Check-up

To maintain the highest image quality, we

recommend replacement of worn parts, such as

heads, etc., after approximately 1000 hours of

use. (This, however, depends on operating

conditions, such as temperature, humidity, dust,

etc.)
