Right i have a mini dv cam made by JVC.

It was working fine till the other day when the wife went to digitise our wedding tapes and make a DVD and its just coming up with 'CONDENSATION, OPERATION PAUSED' then 'PLEASE WAIT'

WTF's going on ?

Can anyone help?

I'm no camera techie but my guess is some moisture has formed somewhere within the unit - I think the techie term is "condensation". It'll probably pause the operation and ask you to wait please :p

That happened to mine last year.

I left it in the airing cupboard - no tape in it but with the eject mechanism open - for a couple of weeks and it's been fine ever since.
