Is playback bad for heads
 
Hi, after shooting something, does rewinding the tape and then press play to view the previously recorded footage is using camera's heads ?

Anytime you record or playback in the camera, you are using the heads. But, they are made to last thousands of hours.

Not bad, 4 years. I guess I don't use mine enough, as I have never had a head failure. Well my own yes, but not a cameras! :)
