Before You Begin
Any problems that occur as a result of any of the following conditions will not be covered by our
warranty.
n n n n Be careful that no water, dust or sand enters the camera/recorder.
n n n n When you shoot at a scene which contains an extremely bright object such as the sun or a light
source, a bright vertical bar may appear in the picture.
Your camera/recorder is functioning properly, but the solid-state pickup device (C.C.D.) usually
causes this as an inherent characteristic. Try to avoid shooting an excessive bright object directly.
n n n n Be sure not to leave it in a place where the temperature exceeds 120° (49°C), or the pickup
device may be damaged.
Dangerous includes:
l l l l Inside a car with the windows closed and in direct sunshine.
l l l l Near heating appliances.
n n n n Do not leave the viewfinder lens facing sunlight for a prolonged period, or the phosphorescent
surface of the cathode ray tube or the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel may be damaged.
