IMPORTANT
• When recording movies, try to get a
calm, stable picture.
Excessive camcorder movement while
shooting and extensive use of fast zooms
and panning can result in jittery scenes. In
extreme cases, the playback of such
scenes may result in visually induced
motion sickness. If you experience such a
reaction, immediately stop the playback
and take a rest break as necessary.
• Observe the following precautions while
the HDD access indicator is on or
flashing. Failing to do so may result in
permanent data loss or hard disk
damage.
- Do not subject the camcorder to
vibrations or strong impacts.
- Do not disconnect the power source
or turn off the camcorder.
- Do not change the operating mode.
