PRECAUTIONS

Any problems that occur as a result of any of the following conditions will not be covered by our warranty.

 Be careful that no water, dust, or sand enters the camcorder.

 When you are not using the camcorder, switch off the power and attach the lens cap.

 When you shoot at a scene which contains an extremely bright object such as the the sun or a light source, a bright vertical bar may appear in the picture.

Your camcorder is functioning properly, but the solid-state pickup device (CCD) usually causes this as an inherent characteristic. Try to avoid shooting an excessive bright object directly.

 Be sure not to leave the camcorder in a place where the temperature exceeds 140ºF (60ºC), or the pickup device may be damaged.

Dangerous includes:

• Inside a car with the windows closed and in direct sunshine.

• Near heating appliances.

 Do not point the electronic viewfinder to direct sunlight; it could damage the viewfinder.

 The liquid crystal display (LCD) panel is made by highly precise technology. More than 99.99% of its picture elements (pixels) are effective, but some (less than 0.01%) may not appear as coloured bright dots. This does not indicate a fault as the LCD panel stretches the limits of current technology.
