Here is the rest of the Tim Riker article describing the procedure, in case it "fell off" your linked website: CONDENSATION, OPERATION PAUSED, May 18, 2005 By Tim Riker "Linux Technologist" - See all my reviews This model is prone to display this error message for long periods of time. The manual says to just wait it out (1 hour recommended). Solution: Take a slightly damp cotton swap and clean the moisture sensor. Remove power from the camera. I remove the battery as well. In the back of where the tapes go, on the left side is a silver component. It's just behind a metal roller that hangs down from a plastic piece over the head. If you look behind the roller diagonally across where the tape goes, you can see a black square on the right side of the silver component. Clean this (gently!) with a moist cotton swab. The swap should get a bit of black gunk off. I'd recommend cleaning it with a dry swab next to remove any moisture. Wait a minute or so to be sure it's dry. Then re-apply power. You should not see a false consensation message for a long time. ;-) I'm gonna go try it now.
