interruption in the playback picture,

About moisture condensation . . .
•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.
•Moisture on the head drum can cause severe
damage to the video tape, and can lead to internal
damage to the camcorder itself.
