✤ 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 color) 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.
