When you bring your camcorder from a

tightly. Remove the bag when the air 
temperature inside the plastic bag has 
reached the surrounding temperature (after 
about one hour).

after using a cleaning cassette, it might be 
because the video head is worn. Please contact 
your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony 

service facility to have the video head replaced.

screen, as it may cause damage.

the LCD screen may heat up. This is not a
