Storage

If you do not intend to use the camcorder for a longer time, store it in a dry area free of dust, and at temperatures no higher than 86°F (30°C). After storage, check each part and function of your camcorder to make sure everything is still working properly.

Note:

• These cautions also apply to accessories such as battery packs and cassettes.

MaintenanceViewfinder

•Clean the viewfinder screen. Rotate the viewfinder upwards. Remove the viewfinder protect cover and clean it with a cotton swab etc. When finished, return it flush with the camcorder.

•The viewfinder screen scratches easily. Be careful when cleaning.

LCD

•Clean the LCD screen using a commercially available cleaning cloth for glasses.

•Moving the camcorder between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on the surface of the screen. Wipe the screen with a soft, dry cloth.

•At low temperatures the display may appear to be much darker than usual. This is not a malfunction. As the screen warms up the display will return to normal.

Camcorder body and lens

•Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camcorder body or lens. Never use chemically treated cloth or volatile solvents such as paint thinner.
