My HV20 is broken or not?

Hi there, my HV20 stopped to work recently after some rain, but now dried out and seems to work OK. But I have noticed that when recording, the green icon of a tape (at upper right corner of LCD) spins only 3-4 times and than stops, but recording still goes on. Is it OK? I cant remember how this icon was behaving before...

That's normal. All systems "go" for recording.

So when the green tape icon spins only 3-4 times and then stops to spin - is it all right with my cam? I thought it was spinning all the time until I pause recording. I m not sure...

If it was spinning all the time, it would be incredibly annoying.
