We have had the same problem several times.
From going to a hot dry country like Egypt to going to a wet humit country like Belgium.
Only after a week or so the camera came back to operating normally.

CONDENSATION PROBLEM

Comment by Amiraw, posted on Apr 09, 2008

Yep..had the same problem..now my camcorder will not accept a tape at all and just keeps ejecting it and shows "condensation, please wait" even though the camcorder has been in the house (in the closet) during the cold season. Not good!

The camera has a sensor inside to detect condensation. Condensation can cause the tape to stick the the transport mechanism, resulting in possible damage.

Condensation can occur if the camera is moved from a cold environment to a warm one. The only thing you can do is open the tape compartment, remove the tape to allow maximum airflow and wait for the camera to warm up and any condensation to evaporate.

If the condensation warning had come on and your camera hasn't experienced a sudden change of temperature, this could indicate a possible fault. I'm afraid this is not something you would be able to fix yourself.
