Handling Precautions

Camcorder

Be sure to observe the following precautions to ensure maximum performance.

• Do not carry the camcorder by the LCD panel. Be careful when closing the LCD panel.

• Do not leave the camcorder in places subject to high temperatures (like the inside of a car parked under direct

sunlight), or high humidity.

• Do not use the camcorder near strong electromagnetic fields such as above TVs, near plasma TVs or mobile

phones. Using the camcorder in such places may cause anomalies in the video or audio or video noise to

appear.

• Do not use or store the camcorder in dusty or sandy places. The camcorder is not waterproof – avoid also

water, mud or salt. If any of the above should get into the camcorder it may damage the camcorder and/or the

lens.

• Do not point viewfinder lens at the sun or other strong light sources. Do not leave the camcorder pointed at a

bright subject. Internal components may become damaged due to concentration of the light by the lens. Be

careful especially when using a tripod or shoulder strap. When you are not using the viewfinder, make sure to

attach the viewfinder cap to the viewfinder.

• Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment.

• Do not disassemble the camcorder. If the camcorder does not function properly, consult qualified service

personnel.

• Handle the camcorder with care. Do not subject the camcorder to shocks or vibration as this may cause

damage. When using the shoulder strap, do not allow the camcorder to swing and hit an object.

• When mounting the camcorder on a tripod, make sure that the tripod’s fastening

screw is shorter than 5.5 mm (0.2 in.). Using other tripods may damage the

camcorder.

Long-term storage

If you do not intend to use the camcorder for a long time, store it in a place free of

dust, in low humidity, and at temperatures not higher than 30 °C (86 °F).

Battery Pack

• Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and the camcorder. Wipe the terminals with

a soft cloth.

DANGER!

Treat the battery pack with care.

• Keep it away from fire (or it might explode).

• Do not expose the battery pack to temperature higher than 60 °C (140 °F). Do not leave it near a heater or

inside a car in hot weather.

• Do not try to disassemble or modify it.

• Do not drop it or subject it to shocks.

• Do not get it wet.
