“remove the cassete” problem on GL2
I have a nice GL2 since 2 years ago and in recent days the “remove the cassete” message appears when I try to insert a tape (and avoiding any operation with the camera).
I’ve read on the manual that this is ussually asociated with condensation problems (when you move the camera from cold to warm enviroments) but never had the condensations alerts and this is only happening with certain tapes (others works fine).Any tip or recomendation about possible causes to this problem would be greatly apreciated. I’m thinking on send my camera to service (toobad, I have other brands that had run for many years without a problem….) but maybe there is some solution out there…

Hi,
I have the same problem. Had it before (indeed condensation issue). There is no other remidie than dry the tape loader OR bring it to service. Currently, I have the same problem but not due to condensation, but dirt in the tape carrier (have been filming in the desert). So will have to go to service again. With previous cameras also never had this problem, it seems a weakness/flaw in the design of this Canon camera. Try to make use of your warranty.
Good luck!
