● You have observed that pouring a cold liquid
into a glass will cause drops of water to form on
the glass‘ outer surface. This same phenomenon
occurs on the head drum of a camcorder when it
is moved from a cool place to a warm place,
after heating a cold room, under extremely
humid conditions or in a place directly subjected
to the cool air from an air conditioner.

internal damage to the camcorder itself.
