Important Notes About the Hard Disk Drive

Do not turn off the camcorder while the camcorder is on and the ACCESS indicator is on or flashing or while the camcorder is in standby mode

Doing so may result in hard disk damage or permanent data loss.

Use the camcorder within its operating temperature range

If the camcorder's temperature becomes too hot or too cold, recording/playback may stop in order to prevent hard disk damage.

Do not use the camcorder at high altitudes

Turning on or using the camcorder in places with low atmospheric pressure, such as at altitudes higher than 3,000 m, may result in hard disk damage.

Initialize the hard disk when movies cannot be recorded/played back normally

As movies are recorded and deleted over time, hard disk fragmentation may occur, which may reduce performance. Initialize the hard disk should this happen.

Protect personal information on the hard disk

When the hard disk is initialized or recordings are deleted, stored data is not physically erased. Remember this when disposing of the camcorder or giving it to another person.
