There is no slack in the tape.

Condensation
If you move the camcorder from a very cold place to a warm place, or
use it in a damp location, condensation may form on the head drum.
Then, if the camcorder is operated in this state, the tape may adhere to
the drum, and cause a failure or even permanent damage. Do the
following to prevent this from happening.
When moving the camcorder from a cold place to a warm place, be
sure no cassette is loaded in the camcorder.
Whenever you turn on the power, check that the HUMID indicator
does not appear. If it appears, wait until it disappears before loading a
cassette.
For more information, see Section 3-1-1 “Loading and Unloading a Cassette”
(page 3-1), and Section 6-3 “Operation Warnings” (page 6-12).
