Notices regarding COPYRIGHT

Television programs, video tapes, DVD titles, films, and other program materials may be copyrighted.

Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.

Notes regarding moisture condensation

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.)

Notes and Safety Instructions

Notes regarding the battery 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.

If your camcorder is in CAMERA mode, and it is left in STBY mode without being

operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape inserted, 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.

It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when making a long

recording, 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.

Notes regarding the Video Head Cleaning

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 type cleaning cassette.

Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads.

Note regarding the LENS

Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.

Direct sunlight can damage the CCD(Charge Coupled Device).

Notes regarding electronic viewfinder

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.

Notes regarding ‘Record’ or ‘Playback’ using the LCD

1. The LCD display has been manufactured using high precision

technology. 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 any way.

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.

Notes regarding the hand strap

To ensure a steady picture while filming, check that the hand strap is properly adjusted.

Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could damage it.
