When the camcorder is connected to
a computer or accessories
Do not try to format the recording media of the

camcorder with a computer. If you do so, your
camcorder may not operate correctly.
When connecting the camcorder to another

device with communication cables, be sure to
insert the connector plug in the correct way.
Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal
will damage the terminal and may result in a
malfunction of the camcorder.
When the camcorder is connected to other

devices through a USB connection and the
power of the camcorder is turned on, do not
close the LCD panel. The image data that has
been recorded may be lost.
