When the Palmcorder is aimed at excessively bright objects, or bright lights, a vertical bar may appear in the picture. This is a normal characteristic of the CCD pick-up device. Try to avoid this whenever possible.

WARNING:

Do not leave the Palmcorder with the EVF aimed directly at the sun as this may cause damage to the internal parts of the EVF.

Do not lift, or carry, the Palmcorder by the EVF or the LCD Monitor.

To conserve power

After 5 minutes, the Record/Pause mode will automatically change to Standby mode.

To resume recording, set POWER to OFF and then ON again.
