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 any force, hit it, or puncture it with a sharp object.

If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in the display may occur. If unevenness does not disap- pear soon, turn the DVD video camera/recorder off, wait for a while, 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.

Do not hold by the LCD monitor as this could cause a malfunction.

Open the LCD monitor by 90° before changing its direction. If you attempt to invert its direc- tion before opening it completely, it could cause a malfunction.

Do not disassemble the LCD monitor as this might cause a malfunction.

When opening the LCD monitor, be careful that no water droplets adhere to the monitor screen and that no water or dust enters the DVD video camera/recorder as it could cause a malfunction.

Liquid Crystal Display and viewfinder:

The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly dimmer than usual when the DVD video cam- era/recorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately after power is turned on. The normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the DVD video camera/re- corder 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 may become detached and the DVD video camera/recorder could fall.

Also, do not grasp the top of DVD video cam- era/recorder when lifting it: It could easily be dropped.

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 allow it to fall.

Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder on 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 cam- era/recorder or AC adapter could cause it to malfunction.

No water or oil!

Water or oil entering the DVD video camera/ recorder or AC adapter could cause a short-cir- cuit or other malfunctions.

Heat on surface of product:

The surface of the DVD video camera/recorder will be slightly warm, but this does not indicate a fault. Be careful when touching the bottom of the DVD video camera/recorder, since it will be hot.

Be careful of ambient temperature:

Using the DVD video camera/recorder in a place where the temperature is over 104 °F (40 °C) or under 32 °F (0 °C) will not allow it to make nor- mal recording/playback.

When using the DVD video camera/recorder connected to PC, operate it at room temperature. If you use the DVD video camera/recorder where the temperature is high for an extended period of time, it will overheat and may not op- erate normally.

Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder in a closed vehicle where the temperature is very high for a long time: This could cause malfunc- tions.

Do not point directly at the sun:

If direct sunlight strikes the lens or viewfinder, the DVD video camera/recorder could malfunc- tion or burn in CCD or viewfinder.

Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder English with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight:

This could cause malfunctions.
