Cautions When Using

Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:

• The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with a sharp

object.

• If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear soon,

turn the DVD video camera/recorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.

• Do not place the DVD video camera/recorder with the open LCD screen down.

• Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD video camera/recorder.

Liquid crystal display and viewfinder:

• The LCD screen and viewfinder are the products of highly precise technology. Among the total number

of pixels (approx. 120,000 pixels for LCD monitor and approx. 110,000 pixels for viewfinder), 0.01% or

less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as colored dots (red, blue, green). This shows

the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that will interfere with recording.

• The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly dimmer than usual when the DVD video camera/

recorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately after power is turned on. Normal

brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the DVD video camera/recorder rises.

Hold the DVD video camera/recorder correctly:

• Do not hold the viewfinder or LCD monitor when lifting the DVD video camera/recorder: The

viewfinder or LCD monitor could detach and the DVD video camera/recorder may fall.

Do not subject the DVD video camera/recorder to impact:

• This DVD video camera/recorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it against

a hard object or let it fall.

• Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder on a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe vibrations

or impact.

No sand or dust!

• Fine sand or dust entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause

malfunctions or defects.

Nowateroroil!

• Water or oil entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause electric shock,

malfunctions or defects.

English

QR34962

Heat on surface of product:

• The surface of the DVD video camera/recorder will be slightly warm, but this does not indicate a fault.

Screen on connected TV:

• Never leave the disc navigation screen, still image or camera image displayed on your TV to which the

DVD video camera/recorder is connected: Doing so could result in displayed image retention or

phosphor degradation of TV screen.

Be careful of ambient temperature:

• Using the DVD video camera/recorder in a place where the temperature is over 140ºF (40°C) or under

32ºF (0°C) will result in abnormal recording/playback.

• Take care that the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder, when connected to PC does not rise

excessively (reference for usage: approx. 30 minutes at about 86ºF (30ºC).

• Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder on beach sand or in a closed vehicle where the

temperature is very high for a long time: This could cause malfunctions.

Do not point directly at the sun:

• If direct sunlight strikes the lens or viewfinder, the DVD video camera/recorder could malfunction or

English

QR34962

Be careful of moisture condensation:

• When you move the DVD video camera/recorder between places where the difference in temperatures

is great - such as entering a lodge from a ski slope or going out of a cooled room or vehicle - condensation

(vapor in air warmed or cooled to water droplets) could occur on the lens and/or inside the DVD video

camera/recorder. If condensation occurs, do not open the cover of disc or card insertion block if possible.

If condensation occurs on the lens, wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth. Even if the external surface of DVD

video camera/recorder has dried, condensation may remain inside: Turn the DVD video camera/

recorder off and leave it in a dry place for at least 1-2 hours before using it again.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder for a long uninterrupted period of time:

• This DVD video camera/recorder cannot be used for a long time continuously as a surveillance camera/

monitor. If you use the DVD video camera/recorder for a long continuous period of time, the

temperature of DVD video camera/recorder could exceed a limit and the recording/playback operation

could be slowed down: In this case, turn it off and wait for a while before using it again.

DonotturntheDVDvideocamera/recorderoffwhiletheACCESS/PCindicatororCARD

ACCESS indicator is lit or blinking:

• The ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or blinking

to show that data is being written to disc or card, or being read

from it. At this time, do not do any of the following, so as not

to damage the data:

− Remove battery

− Disconnect AC adapter/charger

− Plug or unplug PC connection cable

− Remove disc or card

− Subject DVD video camera/recorder to severe vibrations or

impact.

− Violently open or close the LCD monitor

If you turn the DVD video camera/recorder off while the ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit

or blinking, turn it on again with the disc or card loaded in it: Repair of the disc or card will be executed

automatically (see page 149).

Do not wipe the DVD video camera/recorder case with benzene or thinner:

• The coating of case could peel off or the case surface could deteriorate.

• When using a chemical cleaning cloth, follow the instructions.

Also read the instructions attached with optional accessories:

• For optional accessories, observe the cautions and follow instruction manuals attached.
