Before You Begin
Any problems that occur as a result of any of the following conditions will not be covered
by our warranty.
Be careful that no water, dust or sand enters the camcorder and all accessories.
When you shoot at a scene which contains an extremely bright object such as the sun
or a light source, a bright vertical bar may appear in the picture.
Your camcorder is functioning properly, but the solid-state pickup device (C.C.D) usually
causes this as an inherent characteristic. Try to avoid shooting an excessive bright
object directly.
Be sure not to leave the camcorder in a place where the temperature exceeds 140°F
(60°C), or the pickup device may be damaged.
Dangerous includes:
• Inside a car with the windows closed and in direct sunshine.
• Near heating appliances.
Do not leave the viewfinder lens and the liquid crystal display (LCD) facing sunlight
for a prolonged period, or the phosphorescent surface of the cathode ray tube and the
LCD panel may be damaged.
