ªAbout the movie camera

When the movie camera is used for a long time, the camera body becomes warm, but this is not a malfunction.

Keep the Digital Video Camera as far away as possible from electromagnetic equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).

If you use the Digital Video Camera on top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on the Digital

Video Camera may be disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.

Do not use the Digital Video Camera near cell phones because doing so may result in noise adversely affecting the pictures and sound.

Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors.

Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by microprocessors may adversely affect the Digital Video Camera, disturbing the pictures and sound.

If the Digital Video Camera is adversely affected by electromagnetic equipment and stops functioning properly, turn the Digital Video Camera off and remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor. Then reinsert the

battery or reconnect AC adaptor and turn the Digital Video camera on.

Do not use the Digital Video Camera near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.

If you record near radio transmitters or

high-voltage lines, the recorded pictures and sound may be adversely affected.

Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the movie camera.

If the movie camera is sprayed with such

chemicals, the camera body may become deformed and the surface finish may peel off.

Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the movie camera for a long time.

When you use your movie camera in a sandy or dusty place such as on a beach, do not let sand or fine dust get into the body and terminals of the movie camera. Also, protect the movie camera from getting wet.

Sand or dust may damage the movie camera or cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting and removing a cassette.)

If sea water splashes onto the movie camera, wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the camera body carefully. Then, wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

While carrying the movie camera, do not drop or bump it.

A strong impact on the movie camera may break its housing, causing it to malfunction.

Do not use benzine, paint thinner or alcohol for cleaning the movie camera.

Before cleaning, detach the battery or pull out the AC mains lead from the AC mains socket.

The camera body may be discoloured and the surface finish may peel off.

Wipe the movie camera with a soft dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. To remove stubborn stains, wring well a cloth that is soaked in a neutral detergent diluted with water and wipe the movie camera with it. Afterwards, wipe it with a dry cloth.

When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions.

Do not use this movie camera for surveillance purposes or other business use.

If you use the movie camera for a long time, the internal temperature increases and,

consequently, this may cause malfunction. This movie camera is not intended for business

use.

When you are not going to use the movie camera for an extended time.

When storing the unit in a cupboard or a cabinet, it is recommended that you put a desiccant (silica gel) in with it.
