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 temperatures (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
- Use only an approved Battery pack to replace a 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 inserted, it will
automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
- Make sure that the Battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
Do not drop the Battery pack. 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.
- Fully discharging a Lithium-Ion battery damages the internal cells.
The Battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.
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 by holding the Viewfinder.
3. Applying excessive force to the Viewfinder may damage it.
Notes regarding 'Record' or 'Playback' Using the LCD Screen
1. The LCD screen has been
manufactured using high precision
technology. However, there may be
tiny dots (red, blue or green in color)
that appear on the LCD screen.
These dots are normal and do not
affect the recorded picture in any way.
2. When you use the LCD screen 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 screen.
Notes regarding the Hand Strap
- To ensure a steady picture while filming, check that the hand
strap is properly adjusted.
- Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could
damage it.
