Problem for Canon Elura 50 Mini DV Digital Camcorder

Condensation Detected ......... Remove the Cassette




By Upal on Jul 17, 2006

" "
I have a problem similar to Mr. Vaibhab's. The cassette
holder will not close and load. It keeps on ejecting the tape. There is a message saying "condensation detected".
I checked the official Canon site and they suggested
to keep the tape-holder open for couple of hours to dry
out the possible droplets inside the camcorder. I tried
it but didn't work. Some people suggested to dry it out
with hair dryers.......what do you think? Does anyone
know how to repair this poor Elura 50 Baby?

I have sent my camcorder to Canon in Mississauga once
but our great Canada Post somehow lost the camcorder
initially and then after many many many days, after
numerous complaints to Canada Post, they finally delivered
it to Canon. So you can gues that I don't wanna send the
Camcorder again to Canon either in Mississauaga or Montreal.

Any good suggestion is most welcome.

Thanks (in advance).

Drying the unit with a hair dryer would be dangerous as you could very easily overheat something. If you have the unit open & in a dry environment at room tempreture for several hours it should dry out and work if moisture is really the problem. It sounds like you either have a defective moisture sensor or a problem with the circuit which detects the moisture. If that is the case you will probably have to have it serviced by a tech. If there are none in your area your only choice would be to send the unit to Canon. If you have to send it, insure it for the cost of replacement, in case it is lost or damaged. Good luck.

People, I got the same problem like 5 minutes ago, but I fixed it. You have to REMOVE the battery while the camera is off, then wait 2 seconds and take it back inside. It works.

But I have an Canon Xm1, so I don`t know if it works for all of you guys, but good luck!!

let it dry overnight and then remove the battery and allow the camera to reset itself. It worked for us!
