condensation operation paused

I have had this mini dv for 1 year and this condensation problem is a nightmare

I used to also put a fan in front of it and the cam would work for a short time then would go back to the condensatoin operation paused flashing .the cam still takes photos and shows them, but when switched to video I get the condensation operation .When I eject the tape it will not take it back. Any help on this subject will be appreciated ,thanks,

  I have the same problem as well, with the condensation problem & the tape not wanting to go back in. I'm so fed up with this! I'm not in a financial situation where I can buy another one and I saved money for a year to get this one... only to have missed some very important moments in my children's lives because the darned thing wouldn't work.

      Also send me the info on how to get rid of it. Cleaning the sensor did not work. Guess opening up and doing a hardware reset is the only option

    Could you please e-mail me information on correcting the "condensation operation paused" problem with my JVC mini camcorder. I didn't get any of my grandsons 8th grade graduation due to this and this is the first time it has ever happened. After I got home and tried it, it's working fine now !!!! Thanks.
