your camcorder from a cold place into a

How to avoid moisture condensation
When you bring your camcorder from 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
about one hour).
Video head
If you play back a tape recorded in HDV
format, the image and sound may freeze for
a while (about 0.5 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 infrequently
occurs even if the cassette is brand new or
is not used a lot.
If this freezing point is created while
playing back, you can solve this problem
and see the pictures by rewinding after
slightly forwarding. Such a freezing point
cannot be recovered if it was created while
recording.
To prevent such a problem, use the Sony
mini DV cassette.
• If the following problem occurs, clean the video
heads for 10 seconds with the Sony DVM-
12CLD cleaning cassette (optional).
