Storage

If you do not intend to use the camcorder for some time, store it in an area which is free of dust and moisture, and where the temperature is 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.

Information

Maintenance

Viewfinder

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

• The viewfinder screen scratches easily. Take care when cleaning.

LCD

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

Where there is a big change in

temperature, moisture may form on the surface of the screen. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.

At low temperatures the display may appear to be much darker than usual. This is not a fault, and 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.
