1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to form inside the
camcorder.
For Example:
✤ Entering or leaving a heated place on a cold day might cause condensation inside the
product.
✤ To prevent condensation, place the product in a carrying case or a plastic bag before
exposing it to a sudden change in temperature.
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
removed.
1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperature (above 60°C or 140°F).
For example, in a parked closed car in summer or exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Do not let the camcorder get wet. Keep the camcorder away from rain, salt water, or
any other form of moisture. The product will be damaged if immersed in water or
subjected to high levels of moisture.
✤ Make sure 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 device is in Camcorder mode, and it is left in STBY mode without being
operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape loaded, it will automatically turn itself off
to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
✤ Make sure that the battery pack is attached firmly in place.
✤ The new battery pack provided with the product is not charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to fully charge it.
✤ Do not drop the battery pack. Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
✤ It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD monitor when recording for
long periods, because the LCD monitor consumes more battery power.
✤ Fully discharging a Lithium-Ion battery damages the internal cells. The battery pack
may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.
✤ To avoid damage to the battery pack, make sure to remove the battery when no charge
remains.

Notes Regarding the Battery Pack
✳ When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
Batteries must be disposed of as chemical waste.
✳ Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from the camcorder.
✤ To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly. If a
square block-shaped 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.
✤ Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the CCD (Charge Coupled Device, the imaging sensor).
1. Do not position the camcorder such that the viewfinder is pointing directly towards the
sun. Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder. Be careful when setting
the camcorder in a sunny place 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.
1. The LCD monitor has been
manufactured using the high precision
technology. However, there may be
tiny dots (red, blue or green in colour)
that appear on the LCD monitor.
These dots are normal and do not
affect the recorded picture in any way.
2. When you use the LCD monitor 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.
✤ To ensure a steady picture during filming, make sure that the
hand strap is properly adjusted.
✤ Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could
damage it.
