Cold weather shooting with XHA1

The lubrication gets to viscus and wont record well?
Hi Craig, there are no lubricated DV recording tapes as such. Cheers.

All sony tapes use a silicone lubricant, Panasonic and JVC use a dry type graphite lubricant. Thats why I quit using Sony and started using Panasonic ans have'nt had anymore problems.

I can tell you I shot on a snowy day in MI when the temp was -5f. Length of the shoot was 5 hours. I had a rain cover on the camera.

Everything kept working just fine....except for the actors.
