protect it from dust, and store it upright.
Keep the cassette away from strong magnetism.
≥Objects using magnets such as magnetic necklaces and toys having a magnetic force that is stronger than expected, may erase the contents of a recording or may increase noise.

≥When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a dry soft cloth.
≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
≥If your Camcorder is extremely cold, the LCD monitor is slightly darker than usual immediately after you turn the power on. However, as the internal temperature increases, it goes back to normal brightness.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.
Viewfinder
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately
113,000 pixels. The result is more than
99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.
ªPeriodical check-ups
≥To maintain the highest image quality, we recommend replacing worn parts such as heads after approx. 1000 hours of use. (This, however, depends on operating conditions including temperature, humidity and dust.)
