MOISTURE CONDENSATION
Condensation inside the camcorder can cause tape jams or video head damage. If the cam- corder senses moisture, TAPE flashes in the viewfinder.
If TAPE flashes in the viewfinder, or when you first use your camcorder after moving it from a cold area to a warm one, follow these steps.
1.Eject the cassette if one is installed.
2.If necessary, slide POWER to OFF.
3.Let the camcorder sit for about 1 hour before you begin operation.
Caution: Avoid using the camcorder in exces- sively humid areas.
