Cleaning the Camcorder Heads

Dirt can accumulate on the video heads on the camera causing the playback picture to become blurred or appear as if video information is lost. This often means that the video heads are dirty. Use a video head cleaner such as a dry type head cleaning tape to clean the heads.

If after cleaning the heads the picture does not clear up consult your nearest dealer or VCR service center for professional head cleaning.

Cleaning the Lens and Picture Tube of the Electronic Viewfinder

The lens of the electronic viewfinder can be user-cleaned if dust, dirt, or other foreign matter adheres to it.

1.Pull out the eye cup to the position where a mark can be seen (up to a half where it can be pulled out all the way). The side with the mark should be up.

2.Turn the eye cup counterclockwise until it stops, then pull it out to remove.

3.Clean the picture tube face and lens. To prevent scratching, use a soft non abrasive cloth, swab or lens cleaning paper.
