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 “3-1-1 Loading and Unloading a Cassette” on page 3-1
and Section 6-3 “Operation Warnings” (page 6-16).
