Precautions

On use and care
Do not use or store the camcorder and

accessories in the following locations:
Anywhere extremely hot, cold or humid.

Never leave them exposed to temperatures
above 60 C (140 °F), such as under direct

sunlight, near heaters or in a car parked in
the sun. They may malfunction or become
deformed.
Near strong magnetic fields or mechanical

vibration. The camcorder may malfunction.
Near strong radio waves or radiation. The

camcorder may not be able to record properly.
Near AM receivers and video equipment.

Noise may occur.
On a sandy beach or anywhere dusty. If

sand or dust gets in your camcorder, it may
malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction
cannot be repaired.
Operate your camcorder on DC 6.8 V/7.2 V

(battery pack) or DC 8.4 V (AC Adaptor).
For DC or AC operation, use the accessories

recommended in these operating instructions.
Do not let your camcorder get wet, for example,

from rain or sea water. If your camcorder
gets wet, it may malfunction. Sometimes this

If any solid object or liquid gets inside the

casing, unplug your camcorder and have it
checked by a Sony dealer before operating it
any further.
Avoid rough handling, disassembling,

modifying, physical shock, or impact such
as hammering, dropping or stepping on the
product. Be particularly careful of the lens.
Keep the camcorder turning off when you are

not using your camcorder.
Do not wrap your camcorder with a towel, for
