Television programs, video tapes, DVD titles, films, and other program
materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.
1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to
form inside the camcorder.
for example:
- When you move the camcorder from a cold location to a warm location
(e.g. from outside to inside during winter.)
- When you move the camcorder from a cool location to a hot location (e.g.
from inside to outside during the summer.)
2. f the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder for
at least two hours in a dry, warm room with the cassette compartment

Notes ega ding the batte y pack
- Make sure that the battery pack is fully charged
before starting to record.
- To preserve battery power, keep your
camcorder turned off when you are not
operating it.
- f your camcorder is in CAMERA mode, and it
is left in STBY mode without being operated
for more than 5 minutes with a tape installed, it
will automatically turn itself off to protect
against unnecessary battery discharge.
- Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
- A brand new battery pack is not charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.
- t is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when making
a long recordings, because the LCD uses up more battery power.
* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your
local dealer. The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
- To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads
regularly. f a square block-shape distorts playback,
or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty.
f this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning cassette.
- Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. t 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).
1. Do not position the camcorder such that the viewfinder is pointing
towards the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder. Be careful when
placing the camcorder under sunlight or near a window exposed to
sunlight.
1. The LCD display has been manufactured
using high precision technology.
However, there may be tiny dots (red,
blue or green in colour) that appear on
the LCD display.
These dots are normal and do not affect
the recorded picture in any way.
2. When you use the LCD display under direct sunlight or outdoors,
it maybe difficult to see the picture clearly.
f this occurs, we recommend using the viewfinder.
3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.
- To ensure a steady picture during filming, check that the
hand strap is properly adjusted.
- Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could
damage it.
