Moisture; Attaching The Shoulder Strap - Hitachi VM-E56A Instruction Manual

Before You Begin

MOISTURE

Avoid operating your camera/recorder immediately after moving it from a cold place to a warm,
humid place. Give the camera/recorder 2 to 3 hours to stabilize in the ambient conditions of the
surroundings before inserting a cassette. When moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place,
moisture may condense on the head drum inside the machine. This moisture could cause the tape
to stick to the headwheel and damage the headwheel or tape.
When a small amount of moisture is sensed, "TAPE" flashes in the viewfinder. Remove the
cassette and set the CAMERA/OFF/VIDEO switch to OFF, then wait for about one hour.

Attaching the Shoulder Strap

Thread the ends of the provided shoulder strap through the slots at the back of the
camera/recorder and thread through the shoulder straps' buckles. Please ensure that the straps are
securely fastened before using the shoulder strap to carry the camera/recorder.
