Maintenance/Others

Cleaning
Camcorder Body
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camcorder body. Never use chemi-
cally treated cloths or volatile solvents such as paint thinner.
Lens
• If the lens surface is dirty, autofocus may not work properly.
• Remove any dust or dirt particles using a non-aerosol type blower
brush.
• Use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lens. Never use
tissue paper.
LCD Screen
• Clean the LCD screen using a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth.
• Condensation may form on the surface of the screen when the temper-
ature changes suddenly. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
Condensation
Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperatures
may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its internal sur-
faces. Stop using the camcorder if condensation is detected. Contin-
ued use may damage the camcorder.
Condensation may form in the following cases:
• When the camcorder is moved quickly from cold to warm places
• When the camcorder is left in a humid room
• When a cold room is heated rapidly
To avoid condensation
• Do not expose the camcorder to sudden or extreme changes in tem-
perature.
• Remove the memory card and battery pack. Then, place the cam-
corder in an airtight plastic bag and let it adjust gradually to tempera-
ture changes before removing it from the bag.
