8-1 Testing the
Camcorder Before
Shooting
Check the functions of the camcorder before setting out for
a shooting session, preferably by operating the camcorder
together with a color video monitor.
8-1-1 Preparations for Testing
1
Attach a fully charged battery pack.
2
Set the POWER switch to ON and check that the
HUMID indicator does not appear and that the battery
power level is sufficient.
If the HUMID indicator appears, wait until it
disappears.
3
Check that there are no obstructions near the cassette
lid, and then press the EJECT button to open the
cassette lid.
4
After checking the points below, load the cassette and
close the cassette lid.
• The cassette is not write-protected.
• There is no slack in the tape.
• Condensation does not form in the tape.
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 34 and “8-3 Operation Warnings” on
page 134.
