touch the Battery in this condition, you may be badly burned.

Store the Battery in a completely discharged state. To store the Battery for a long period of time, we recommend you charge it once every year and store it again after you completely use up the charged capacity.

Cassette

Before storing it, rewind the tape to the beginning. If the Cassette is left for more than 6 months with the tape stopped midway, the tape sags (although it depends on the storage condition). Be sure to rewind to the beginning.

Store the Cassette in its case. Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays), or humidity may damage the tape. Dust contains hard mineral particles, and dusty Cassettes damage the heads of the Movie Camera and other components. Develop a habit of returning the Cassette back to its case.

Once every half year, wind the tape to the end and then rewind it to the beginning. If the Cassette is left for 1 year or longer without winding or rewinding, temperature and humidity changes may cause the Cassette to deform due to swelling, shrinking, and so forth. The wound

tape may stick to itself.

Do not place a Cassette near highly magnetic substances or equipment.

The surface of tape is covered with extremely minute magnetic particles, upon which signals are recorded. Magnetic necklaces, toys, etc., have magnetic force that is stronger than you

may normally expect, and they may erase the contents of a recording or may cause noise in images and sounds.

Card

When the Card is being read, do not remove the Card, turn off the power, or subject it to vibration or impact.

Do not leave the Card in places where there is high temperature or direct sunlight, or where electromagnetic waves or static electricity are easily generated.

Do not bend or drop the Card. The Card or the recorded content may be damaged.

After use, be sure to remove the Card from the Movie Camera.

After usage, store the supplied SD Memory

Card in the enclosed bag.

Do not touch the terminals on the back of the Card with your fingers. Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter it.

ªLCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood

LCD Monitor

In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth.

If your Movie Camera is extremely cold when you turn its power on, the image on the LCD Monitor is slightly darker than usual at first.

However, as the internal temperature increases, it goes back to the normal brightness.
