New member Username: FenderpitbullPost Number: 1 Registered: 03-2004 | I had my L1 Hi-8 video camera near a window and it was cold - I took it in my hands and moved to another part of the room and it shut down because of condensation. I've left it open in my room for 2 days and it still won't start. Has anyone had that problem? Any ideas of what to do? Thanks. |

Unregistered guest | You are not alone, I have a Sharp Camera VL-Z3 , < 6mths old and it drives me crazy with this intermitten problem of DEW warning. I wish the manufactures could sincerely resolve this problem without cost to the user. A recall should be voted. |

It began working immediately. Everything works fine. I think something got stuck when the dew alarm came on and I jostled it enough to reset. Anyway, that's my situation. I'm not saying to hit your camera - yours is 6 months old mine is about 10 years old. Good luck! |
