Maintenance/Others

Cleaning

Camcorder Body

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

Lens and Instant AF Sensor

•If the lens surface or Instant AF sensor is dirty, autofocus may not work properly.

•Remove any dust or dirt particles using a non-aerosol type blower brush.

•Use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lens. Never use tissue paper.

LCD Screen

•Clean the LCD screen using a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth.

•Condensation may form on the surface of the screen when the temper- ature changes suddenly. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.

Condensation

Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its internal surfaces. Stop using the camcorder if condensation is detected. Continued use may damage the camcorder.

Condensation may form in the following cases:

•When the camcorder is moved quickly from cold to warm places

•When the camcorder is left in a humid room

•When a cold room is heated rapidly

To avoid condensation

•Do not expose the camcorder to sudden or extreme changes in tem- perature.
