Any problems that occur as a result of any of the following conditions will not be covered 
by our warranty. 
 Be careful that no water, dust or sand enters the camera/recorder. 
 When you are not using the camera/recorder, switch off the power and attach the lens 
cap.
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 excessively bright object directly. 
Be sure not to leave it in a place where the temperature exceeds 120ºF, or the pickup
device may be damaged. Dangerous includes: 
• Inside a car with the windows closed and in direct sunshine. 
• Near heating appliances. 
Do not leave the viewfinder lens facing sunlight for a prolonged period, or the
phosphorescent surface of the cathode ray tube may be damaged.
Thank you for buying the
video camera/recorder. For maximun pleasure and convenience please read
