What can you do to fix the problem of the dew detector. I took out the battery and the tape and left the camera open. It was like that for about a week. When I put the tape and battery back in it was fine. I went to my sons gradution and was going to tape it. The dew detector warning came on and shut off my camera. How can I fix this problem?
You would have to replace the dew sensor which is a device in close proximity to the video head which shuts down the camera to avoid damage when moisture is detected at a high level inside the camera. Sounds like your sensor has changed values and triggers at too low a level. If you are not familiar with this kind of technology you should take it to a repair shop. The repair should be less than $100 US. Two websites which give free estimates are http://www.camcorderrepair.com and http://www.videotech.com Good luck.
