DEW (MOISTURE CONDENSATION)
"DEW"
("POWER")
Light indicates condensation
on the recorder mechanism. If the video camera/
recorder is moved from a cold area to a warm area
and the humidity is high, moisture can form on the
metal surface of the recording mechanism. If this
happens, the tape could be damaged. To prevent
damage the video camera/recorder will not operate
except for "EJECT".
Should "DEW"
("POWER")
Light flash with the power on, press "EJECT"
and
remove the cassette.
Wait for the moisture to dry
(until "DEW"
Light stop flashing).
NOTE: "POWER"
Light is used as "DEW"
Light.
When "POWER"
Light is continuously on, it is the
"POWER"

PRECAUTIONS
[]
No water,
dust or sand
Be careful
that
no water,
dust or sand enters
the
Camera/Recorder
because
it may cause damage.
[]
The solid-state
image sensor is basically
immune
to
direct
sunlight
or
excessively
bright
objects,
however,
avoid prolonged
exposure
to these adverse
objects
since unnecessary
heat may develop.
[] When
you
are
not
using
the
Camera/Recorder,
switch
off the power
and attach the lens cap.
I
When
you shoot
at a scene which
contains
an ex-
tremely
bright
object
such
as the sun
or a light
source,
a bright
vertical
bar
may
appear
in the
picture.
Your Camera/Recorder
is functioning
properly,
but
the solid-state
pickup
device (C.C.D)
usually causes
this as an inherent
characteristic.
Try to avoid shoot-
_,_
ing an excessive
bright
object
directly.
[] Be sure not to leave it in a place where
the
temperature exceeds 122°F, or the pickup device will
deteriorate.
Be careful not to leave the unit in the
following places:
• Inside a car with the windows closed and in direct
sunshine.
o Near heating appliances.
• In direct sunshine in summer.
f

[]
Do not leave the viewfinder
lens facing
sunlight
for
a prolonged
period, or the phosphorescent
surface of
the cathode
ray tube
may be damaged.
