Cautions When Using
Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:
•
The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with any force,
hit it, or puncture it with a sharp object.
•
If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in the display may occur. If unevenness
does not disappear soon, turn the DVD camcorder off, wait for a while, and then
turn it on again.
•
Do not place the DVD camcorder with the open LCD screen down.
•
Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD camcorder.
•
Do not hold by the LCD monitor as this could cause a malfunction.
•
Open the LCD monitor by 90º before changing its direction. If you attempt to
invert its direction before opening it completely, it could cause a malfunction.
•
Do not disassemble the LCD monitor as this might cause a malfunction.
•
When opening the LCD monitor, be careful that no water droplets adhere to the
monitor screen and that no water or dust enters the DVD comcorder as it could
cause a malfunction.
Liquid Crystal Display and viewfinder:
•
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel is made by highly precise technology. More
than 99.99% of its picture elements (pixels) are effecitive, but some (less than
0.01%) may appear as colored bright dots. This does not indicate a fault as the
LCD panel stretches the limits of current technology.
•
The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly dimmer than usual when the DVD
camcorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately after power is
turned on. The normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside
the DVD camcorder rises.
Hold the DVD camcorder correctly:
Do not hold the viewfinder or LCD monitor when lifting the DVD camcorder: The
viewfinder or LCD monitor may become detached and the DVD camcorder could fall.
Do not subject the DVD camcorder to impact:
•
This DVD camcorder is a precision machine: Take great care that you do not strike
it against a hard object or allow it to fall.
•
Do not use the DVD camcorder on a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe
vibrations or impact.
