Precautions and Safety Instructions

Precautions regarding the hand strap

It is very important to adjust the hand strap correctly to

ensure the camera can be held steady. (see page 16) Do not insert your hand in the hand strap forcibly,

as it may result in damage to the buckle.

Precautions when cleaning the video heads

To ensure normal recording and clear pictures, ensure that the heads are kept clean.

When playing back the pictures, if they are noisy or hardly visible, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cassette cleaner.

Do not use a wet type cassette cleaner. It may damage the video heads. (see page 55)

Auto-off function in STANDBY mode

To protect against tape and head-drum wear, your camcorder will automatically turn off if it is left in STANDBY mode without operation for more than 5 minutes.
