Replacing the Bulb

We recommend you consult your dealer or Servicenter to replace the bulb. If you replace the bulb, use only part #233430 to replace the entire bulb assembly. Carefully follow the instructions below.

Cautions

The video light and bulb need to cool for approximately 30 minutes after the camcorder has been used before the bulb assembly is replaced.

Do not touch the light bulb with your fingers. If the bulb is accidentally touched, wipe it with a soft cloth. A dirty bulb may cause smoke and have a reduced service life.
