• Watch the temperature and humidity.

You can use your Camcorder at 0°C to +40°C

(32°F to 104°F), and at 30% to 80% relative

humidity. Do not store the unit in an unventilated

car in the summer, in direct sunlight, or near strong

heat sources; this can result in severe damage to

the unit’s casing and circuitry. Be careful when

handling the unit after it has been left in a hot

place, such as the ones described above.

• Avoid situations where water, sand, dust or

other foreign matter could get on or inside the

Camcorder. Such substances could cause

malfunctions.

Do not use your Camcorder in areas with

excessive smoke or steam.

Do not leave your Camcorder in areas with

excessive dust or moisture.

Such environments can cause mildew to form on this

unit’s lenses. Be sure to provide ample ventilation.

• Some small, portable tripods may be difficult to

attach and may not be sturdy enough to

support your Camcorder. Be sure to use only a

strong, stable tripod.

• When you use the Camcorder at a ski resort or

in some other cold environment, the LCD

monitor screen may get cold giving you an

image which is less bright than normal for a

while after it is turned on. This is not a malfunc-

tion. If this occurs, put the Camcorder in a

warmer location for some time before use. To

prevent excessive cooling, wrap the Camcorder

in a thick cloth (a blanket, etc.).

Use and Care

Precautions

• After operation, remove the battery pack from

the unit.

• Do not aim the lens at the sun.

Do not allow direct sunlight to strike the Camcorder

lens or LCD panel, whether recording is in

progress or not, as it may damage the CCD sensor

or LCD panel surface. Be particularly careful when

recording outside.

• When shooting in dark places, avoid sudden

brightly lit objects or light sources, such as the sun.

Otherwise, the image may white out. Should this

happen, point the camera in a different direction

until the picture returns to normal.

• Avoid magnetic sources.

Using the Camcorder near strong fluorescent

lights, motors, televisions, or other magnetic

sources may adversely affect recorded images.

• Remember to remove the cassette tape, turn off

the power, and remove the battery pack when

the Camcorder is not in use.

• Using the Camcorder near a broadcasting

station or other powerful transmission source

may cause buzzing or picture deterioration.

• Avoid shocks and dropping.

Do not drop or otherwise subject the Camcorder to

hard shocks or strong vibrations. Bumping or

striking the unit during recording will generate

noise in the recorded image.
