Important notes

•Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:

-The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with excessive force, hit it or prick it with a sharp object.

-If you push the LCD surface, display unevenness may occur. If unevenness does not disappear, turn the camcorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.

-Do not place the camcorder with the open LCD screen down.

-Close the LCD monitor when not using the camcorder.

•Liquid crystal display:

-The LCD screen is a product of high precision technology. Out of the total pixels (approx. 230,000 pixels of an LCD monitor ), 0.01% or less pixels may be out (black dots) or may remain lit as coloured dots (red, blue, and green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that will interfere with recording.

-The LCD screen will be slightly dimmer than usual when the camcorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or right after the power is turned on. Normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the camcorder rises. Note that this will have no effect on the image in a storage media, so there is no cause for concern.

•Hold the camcorder correctly:

-Do not hold the camcorder by the LCD
