Remove dust inside the eye piece and

To prevent electromagnetic interference
from portable telephones, wireless
devices, etc.
The use of portable telephones, wireless devices,
etc., near this unit can result in malfunctions and
interference with audio and video signals.
It is recommended that such equipment near this
unit is powered off.
About the LCD screen
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing direct
sunlight, as this may damage the LCD screen.
• Do not press/swipe the LCD screen forcefully,
or leave objects on the LCD screen, as it may
cause a malfunction, such as picture
irregularity, etc.
• The LCD screen may become warm in use. This
is not a malfunction.
About the stuck pixels
The LCD screen fitted to this unit is manufactured
with high precision technology, giving a
functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a
very small proportion of pixels may be “stuck”,
either always off (black), always on (red, green,
or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long
period of use, because of the physical
characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such
“stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These
problems are not a malfunction, and will not be
recorded on recording media.
Note on the display
• Pictures on the LCD screen and viewfinder
screen may be distorted by the following
operations:
—Changing the video format
—Starting playback from the Thumbnail
screen
—Reversing the LCD screen
• When you change the eye direction in the
viewfinder, you may see primary colors red,
green, and blue, but this is not a defect of the
camcorder. These primary colors are not
recorded on any recording media.
Fragmentation
If pictures cannot be recorded/reproduced
properly, try formatting the recording medium.
While repeating picture recording/playback with
a certain recording medium for an extended
period, files in the medium may be fragmented,
disabling proper recording/storage. In such a
case, make a backup of clips in the medium then
perform formatting of the medium using “Format
Media” (page 46) in the Media menu.
