Cautions When Using
Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:
•The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with a sharp object.
•If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear soon, turn the DVD video camera/recorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.
•Do not place the DVD video camera/recorder with the open LCD screen down.
•Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD video camera/recorder.
Liquid crystal display (LCD) and viewfinder:
•The LCD screen and viewfinder are the products of highly precise technology. Among the total number of pixels (approx. 120,000 pixels for LCD monitor and equivalent to approx. 200,000 pixels for viewfinder), 0.01% or less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as colored dots (red, blue, green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that will interfere with recording.
•The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly dimmer than usual when the DVD video camera/ recorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately after power is turned on. Normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the DVD video camera/recorder rises.
Hold the DVD video camera/recorder correctly:
•Do not hold the viewfinder or LCD monitor when lifting the DVD video camera/recorder: The viewfinder or LCD monitor could detach and the DVD video camera/recorder may fall.
Do not subject the DVD video camera/recorder to impact:
•This DVD video camera/recorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it against a hard object or let it fall.
•When using a tripod, firmly secure the DVD video camera/recorder on it. Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder with a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe vibrations or impact.
No sand or dust!
•Fine sand or dust entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause malfunctions or defects.
No water or oil!
•Water or oil entering the DVD video camera/recorder or AC adapter/charger could cause electric shock, malfunctions or defects.
Heat on surface of product:
•The surfaces of the DVD video camera/recorder, AC adapter/charger and battery will be slightly warm, but this does not indicate a fault.
Screen on connected TV:
•Never leave the disc navigation screen, still image or camera image displayed on your TV to which the DVD video camera/recorder is connected: Doing so could result in displayed image retention or phosphor degradation of TV screen.
Be careful of ambient temperature:
•Using the DVD video camera/recorder in a place where the temperature is over 104ºF (40ºC) or under 32ºF (0ºC) will result in abnormal recording/playback.
•Take care that the temperature of this DVD video camera/recorder, when connected to PC does not rise excessively (reference for usage: approx. 30 minutes at about 86ºF (30ºC)).
•Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder on beach sand or in a closed vehicle where the temperature is very high for a long time: This could cause malfunctions.
