Notes and Safety Instructions

Notices regarding COPYRIGHT (VP-D323i/D325i/D327i only)
Television programs, video tapes, DVD titles, films, and other program materials may be
copyrighted.
Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.
Notes regarding moisture condensation
1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to form inside the
camcorder.
for example:
- When you move the camcorder from a cold location to a warm location (e.g. from
outside to inside during winter.)
- When you move the camcorder from a cool location to a hot location (e.g. from inside
to outside during the summer.)
2. If the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder for at least two
hours in a dry, warm room with the cassette compartment opened and the battery pack
removed.
Notes regarding CAMCORDER
1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperature (above 60°C or 140°F).
For example, in a parked car in the sun or exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Do not let the camcorder get wet.
Keep the camcorder away from rain, sea water, and any other form of moisture. If the
camcorder gets wet, it may get damaged.
Sometimes a malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot be repaired.
Notes regarding the battery pack
- Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged
before starting to record.
- To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder
turned off when you are not operating it.
- If your camcorder is in CAMERA mode, and it is left
in STBY mode without being operated for more than
5 minutes with a tape installed, it will
automatically turn itself off to protect against
unnecessary battery discharge.
- Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
- A brand new battery pack is not charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.
- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when making a long
recording, because the LCD uses up more battery power.
Notes regarding the battery pack
* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
Notes regarding the Video Head Cleaning
- To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly.
If a square block-shape distorts playback,
or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens, clean
the video heads with a dry type cleaning cassette.
- Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.
Note regarding the LENS
- Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the CCD(Charge Coupled Device).
Notes regarding electronic viewfinder
1. Do not position the camcorder such that the viewfinder is pointing towards the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder. Be careful when placing the
camcorder under sunlight or near a window exposed to sunlight.
2. Do not pick up the camcorder from the viewfinder.
3. Over pulling of the viewfinder may damage it.
Notes regarding 'Record' or 'Playback' using the LCD
1. The LCD display has been
manufactured using high precision
tech- nology. However, there may
be tiny dots (red, blue or green in
colour) that appear on the LCD
display.
These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any way.
2. When you use the LCD display under direct sunlight or outdoors, it maybe difficult to
see the picture clearly.
If this occurs, we recommend using the viewfinder.
3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.
Notes regarding the hand strap
- To ensure a steady picture during filming, check that the hand
strap is properly adjusted.
- Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could
damage it.
