≥Formatting and deletion of this unit or computer only changes the file management information and does not completely delete the data in the SD card.

≥It is recommended that the SD card is physically destroyed or the SD card is physically formatted using this unit when disposing of or giving away the SD card. To physically format an SD card, connect the unit via the AC adaptor, select [SETUP] # [FORMAT CARD] from the menu, and then press and hold the delete button on the screen below for about

LCD monitor

≥When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth, such as eye glass cleaner.

≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with a soft cloth, such as eye glass cleaner.

≥When the unit has become very cold, for example due to storage in a cold area, its LCD monitor will be slightly darker than usual immediately after the unit is turned on. The normal brightness will be restored when the unit’s internal temperature rises.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 230,000 dots. The result is more than 99.99% effective dots with a mere 0.01% of the dots inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

About condensation

When condensation forms on the unit, the lens will cloud up and the unit may not work properly. Make every effort to ensure that condensation does not form. If it does form, take the actions described below.

Causes of condensation

Condensation takes place when the ambient temperature or humidity is changed as follows.

≥When this unit is brought inside from the cold (e.g. a ski slope) to a warm room.

≥When this unit is moved from an air-conditioned car to outside.

≥When a cold room has been warmed up quickly.

≥When cool wind from an air conditioner is directly blown onto this unit.

≥After rain showers.

≥When this unit is in a very humid place where the air is thick with steam. (e.g. a heated swimming pool)

Helpful hint

If, for example, you have used this unit for recording on a ski slope and are taking it into a heated room, place the unit inside a plastic bag, remove as much of the air from inside the bag as possible, then seal the bag. Leave the unit for about an hour in the room so the temperature of the unit is close to the ambient temperature of the room, then use it.
