One CCD went down...

... And then it came back :confused:

When I fired up the camera today (going from room temeperature to 4 Celcius), the image was totally blue. Not that kind of wrong-white-balance-blue, it was very hazy and completely useless. There was no sense of red in the image, just blue. Looked very much like something that was posted here a long time ago, when a dvx lost one of the CCDs.

But the funny thing is, after messing around with the white balance a lot, just to make sure that it was not what was causing this, the CCD went back on all by itself! All suddenly, the image was normal again. *PHEEWW*

So, was this just condensation or what? It really scared me, I really want to keep all my three CCDs alive for a couple of more years... Anyway, I did not record any of the stuff, but I will if it happens again.
 
Barry or someone? Could you please explain what might have happened, and why it fixed itself after a couple of minutes?
 
I would say give the camera a few minutes to acclimate to a change in temperature. That sounds like the only reason that something like this would happen.

Best,
