MOISTURE
Avoid operating your camcorder immediately after moving it from a cold place to a
warm, humid place. Give the camcorder 2 to 3 hours to stabilize in the ambient
conditions of the surroundings before inserting a cassette. When moved from a cold
place to a warm, humid place, moisture may condense on the head drum inside the
machine. This moisture could cause the tape to stick to the headwheel and damage the
headwheel or tape.
When a small amount of moisture is sensed, "TAPE" flashes in the viewfinder or LCD
monitor. Remove the cassette and set the CAM/OFF/VIDEO switch to OFF, then wait
for about one hour.
