•Do not disassemble the camcorder. If the camcorder does not function properly, consult qualified service personnel.

•Handle the camcorder with care. Do not subject the camcorder to

shocks or vibration as this may cause damage.

• When mounting the camcorder on a tripod, make sure that the tripod’s fastening screw is shorter than 5.5 mm

(0.2 in.). Using other tripods may damage the camcorder.

•When recording movies, try to get a calm, stable picture. Excessive cam-

corder movement while shooting and extensive use of fast zooms and panning can result in jittery scenes. In extreme cases, the playback of such scenes may result in visually induced motion sickness. If you expe- rience such a reaction, stop the playback immediately and take a rest break as necessary.

Long-term storage

If you do not intend to use the camcorder for a long time, store it in a place free of dust, in low humidity, and at temperatures not higher than 30 °C (86 °F).
