Additional Information

Disposal

When you delete movies or initialize the

built-in memory ( / only) or memory card, only the file allocation table is altered and stored data is not physically erased. Take the necessary precautions when you dispose of the camcorder or memory card, for example by physically damaging it to prevent the leakage of private data. / If giving the camcorder to another person, initialize the built-in memory using the [COMPL.INIT.]

setting ( 30), fill it up with unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again using the same method. This makes recovering the original recordings very difficult.

Maintenance/Others

Cleaning

Camcorder Body

•Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camcorder body. Never use chemically treated cloths or volatile solvents such as paint thinner.

Lens

If the lens surface is dirty, the autofocus may not work properly.

•Remove any dust or dirt particles using a non-aerosol type blower brush.

•Use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lens. Never use tissue paper.

LCD Screen

•Clean the LCD screen using a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth.

•Condensation may form on the surface of the screen when the temperature changes suddenly. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.

Condensation

Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its internal surfaces. Stop using the camcorder if condensation is detected. Continued use may damage the camcorder.
