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 moisture condensation to form inside the camcorder.For Example:- When you take the camcorder from a cold place to a warm place (e.g. from outside to inside during winter.)- When you take the camcorder from a cool place to a hot place (e.g. from inside to outside during the summer.)2. When the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder in a dry, warm room with the cassettecompartment opened and the battery removed, for at least two hours.1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperatures (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, saltwater, and any other form of moisture. If the camcorder gets wet, it may bedamaged.A malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot always be repaired.ENGLISHNotes and Safety Instructions1111Notes Regarding the CAMCORDERNotices Regarding COPYRIGHTNotes Regarding Moisture Condensation
ENGLISHNotes and Safety Instructions1212Notes Regarding the Battery PackNotes Regarding Video Head Cleaning- 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 notoperating it.- If your device is in CAMCORDER mode with a tape installed, and it is left inSTBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes it will automaticallyturn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.- Make sure that the battery pack fits firmly into place.Dropping the battery pack may damage it.- A brand new battery pack will not be charged.Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when recording forlong periods, because the LCD uses up more battery power.- To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly. If a square block-shape distorts playback, or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry typecleaning cassette.- Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.The batteries need to be dealt with as chemical waste. X
ENGLISHNotes and Safety Instructions1313- 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 awindow exposed to sunlight.2. Do not pick up the camcorder by the viewfinder.3. Over-rotating of the viewfinder may damage it.1. The LCD display has been manufactured using high-precision tech- nology. However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in color)that appear on the LCD display.These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in anyway.2. When you use the LCD display under direct sunlight or outdoors,it maybe difficult to see the picture clearly. If 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.Note Regarding the LENSNotes Regarding Electronic ViewfinderNotes Regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ Using the LCDNotes Regarding the Hand Strap
