Almost every time I turn on my Sony HDR-HC1, the message about moisture condensation comes on and tellls me to turn the camara off for one hour. I have tried storing it in a with Silica Gel packs to keep moisture away, I use in primary in an air conditioned room. I never know when I will be able to use the camara. ANY Suggestions?
there has been a numerous complain about this model about this error, if you have tried doing this, chances are the humidity sensor is really having a false alarm message, if you are still under warranty, pls return the product asap, before its too late
the only first step is to reset the unit completely and see if it helps, sometime it does sometime it doesnt, all dates and set up will be removed ... be cautiuos

My camera took a hard fall. When in standyby everything works nomally and as it should, zoom, focus, everything. When have a tape in and hit the record button, about 50% of the time it will work fine, the other 50% of the time it goes almost completely out of focus (white), then going back to stby, it will focus fine. When it does work in record mode, it will focus fine at all distances, however using the zoom will usually drive it out of focus, also shaking the camera will make it go out of focus. Like I said, in stby, everything works, it's just when there is a tape in the cassette and rec mode.......Don
