Disposal
When you delete movies or initialize the
hard disk or memory card, only the file
allocation table is altered and stored
data is not physically erased. Take the
necessary precautions when you
dispose of the camcorder or memory
card, for example by physically
damaging it to prevent the leakage of
private data.
If giving the camcorder to another
person, initialize the built-in hard disk or
memory card using the [Complete
Initialization] option (
31). Fill it up
with unimportant recordings, and then
initialize it again using the same option.
This makes recovering the original
recordings very difficult.
Cleaning
Camcorder Body
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the
camcorder body. Never use
chemically treated cloths or volatile
solvents such as paint thinner.
Lens, Viewfinder ( only) and Instant AF
Sensor
• If the lens surface or Instant AF
sensor is dirty, autofocus may not
work properly.
• Remove any dust or dirt particles
using a non-aerosol type blower
brush.
• Use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth
to gently wipe the lens or viewfinder.
Never use tissue paper.
LCD Screen
• Clean the LCD screen using a clean,
soft lens-cleaning cloth.
• Condensation may form on the
surface of the screen when the
temperature changes suddenly. Wipe
it with a soft dry cloth.
