About
moisture
condensation
,
You 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.
