OK, so yea the first time i got this problem on my camera, i thought it was gonna be a problem that the camera would fix itself... at least that's what i thought was implied by the message "PLEASE WAIT...OPERATION PAUSED" But after waiting an entire day, the problem persisted, and so i decided to do something. I looked online for solutions, and found this website. I followed the instructions for "disassembling" the camera for a hard reset. What worked for my camera was removing all the screws on the outside shell, VERY CAREFULLY separating the sides, and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes. Of the screws i removed, i counted 25 in total... this includes some under the screen, one hidden by the eyepiece if you raise it, one under the s-video flap, but not the 2 on the "flapper door" for the mini-tapes... This technique solved the condensation problem for me twice. I wouldnt recommend it because it's a scary procedure, but if you're suffering from frustration like i was, you might wanna try it. What i would recommend is staying away from JVC, which is what i do now.
