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
opened and the battery pack removed.
1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperature (above 60°C
or 140°F).
For example, in a parked car in the sun or exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Do not let the camcorder get wet.
Keep the camcorder away from rain, sea water, and any other form of
moisture. f the camcorder gets wet, it may get damaged.
Sometimes a malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot be repaired.

- 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 located correctly and
firmly in 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 monitor when
making long recordings, because the LCD monitor 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.
* Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from the
camcorder.
- 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.

Record Playback
- 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 so that the viewfinder points 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.
2. Do not pick up the camcorder using the viewfinder.
3. Excessive force when pulling the viewfinder out may damage it.
1. The LCD monitor has been manufactured
using high precision tech-nology.
However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue
or green in colour) that appear on the
LCD monitor.
These dots are normal and do not affect
the recorded picture in any way.
2. When you use the LCD monitor under direct sunlight or
outdoors, it may be 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.

n this case, replace the lithium battery with a new one(type CR2025).
4. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Warning: Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY out of reach of children.
Should a battery be swallowed, consult a doctor
i ediately.
