Condensation?: Canon XL-1

I keep getting Error Message to Eject Tape, blinking
icon: relating to Condensation. Does anyone know
how to re-set? I have had tape door open in warm room
for many hours, plenty of time for anything to dry out,
as manual suggests. Can anyone suggest way to "unfreeze"
features? Thanks!!!

Condensation

Might I suggest that you check out your tape's condition. On occasion I have had the same problem. I believe it is a problem of camera/tape difference in temperature. One is tintanium, the other plastic.

Most times, you probably take the tape out of a pocket, where it is warm. The poor little beastie, that you are about to insert it into, is at room, or out door temperature. It can be quite a difference, as you can well understand.

I usually pack 2 or 3 tapes velcroed to my camera. That way they are all at the same temperature.

The only equipment that I deliberately keep warm are the various batteries needed to power the cam & mike's & lights.

Best.
