If your camcorder is brought directly from a
cold place to a warm place, moisture may
condense inside your camcorder, ou the

state, the tape may stick to the head drum
and be damaged or your camcorder may not
operate correctly. If there is moisture inside
your camcorder, [Ilia Moisture

If muisture starts to cuudeuse, yuur

Moisture may condense "_hen yuu bring
yuur camcorder from a culd place into a
warm place (or vice versa) or when you use
your camcorder in a humid place as shown
below.
• When you bring your camcorder hom a ski

N Now to avoid moisturecondensation
When you bring your camcorder lhom a
cold place into a warm place, put your
camcorder in a plastic bag and seal it
tightly. Remove the bag when the air
temperature inside the plastic bag has
reached the surrounding temperature (after
g8
oue
hour).
If you play back a tape recoMed in HDV
furmat, the image and sound may freeze lk_r
a while (about (1.5 seconds).
This occurs if the HDV signals cannot be
recorded or played back correctly because
of dirt on the tape or video head. Depending
on the cassette, this fairly inlhequently
occurs even if the cassette is brand new ur
is not used a lot.
If this freezing point is created while
playing back, yuu can solve this prublem
and see the pictures by rewinding alter
slightly forwarding. Such a freezing point
cannot be recovered if it was created while
recording.
To prevent such a problem, use the Suny
