About moisture condensation . . .

•You may 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.
