Maintenance information and precautions
Cleaning the LCD screen
If fingerprints or dust make the LCD screen dirty, we recommend using an LCD
Cleaning Kit (optional) to clean the LCD screen.
Removing dust from inside the viewfinder
(1) Pull out the viewfinder in the direction of the arrow 1. Remove the two
screws in the direction of the arrow 2 with a screwdriver (optional). Remove
the eyecup in the direction of the arrow while pressing the projection 3.
(2) Remove dust from inside the eyecup and viewfinder with a commercially
available blower.
(3) In reverse, starting from 3, attach the eyecup. Then replace the screws in the
direction of the arrow 2.
Caution
Do not remove any other screws. You may remove only the screws necessary to remove
the eyecup.
Notes
•Do not drop or bend the eyecup shaft.
•Be careful when handling the eyecup.
Charging the built-in rechargeable battery
Your camcorder is supplied with a built-in rechargeable battery installed so as to retain
the date and time, etc., regardless of the setting of the POWER switch. The built-in
rechargeable battery is always charged as long as you are using your camcorder. The
battery, however, will get discharged gradually if you do not use your camcorder. It
will be completely discharged in about 3 months if you do not use your camcorder at
all. Even if the built-in rechargeable battery is not charged, it will not affect the
camcorder operation. To retain the date and time, etc., charge the battery if the battery
is discharged.
