Precautions and Safety Instructions

Precautions when Recording or Playback using LCD

1) High precision technology is used to manufacture the LCD display. However, there may be some tiny black specks (red, blue or green in colour) that constantly appear on the LCD display. These specks are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in anyway.

2) When using the LCD display outdoors or in direct sunlight, it may be difficult to see. In this case, we recommend that you use the viewfinder.

3) The LCD display's OSD is turned off when the LCD is turned to the forward facing position.

Precautions when using the hand strap

It is very important to adjust the hand strap correctly so

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

as it may result in damaging the velcro locking system.

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 head cleaning tape.

Do not use the wet type of head cleaner as it may damage the video heads. (see page 57)

5 minutes off timer in STANDBY mode

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