After using the CAM
✤For the safekeeping of the CAM, follow these steps.
✓Turn the CAM off.
✓Remove the Battery Pack (refer to page 20).
✓Remove the Memory Stick (refer to page 34).
✤To prevent any damage to the LCD monitor, do not apply excessive force on its moving parts.
✤Do not drop or in anyway shock the CAM.
✤For prolonged use of the CAM, avoid using it in places subject to excessive humidity or dust.
✤Do not leave the CAM in places subject to:
✓Excessive humidity, steam, soot or dust.
✓Excessive shock or vibration.
✓Extremely high (over 50°C or 122°F) or extremely low (under 0°C or 32°F) temperatures.
✓Strong electromagnetic fields.
✓Direct sunlight or in a closed car on a hot day.
✤For the safe use of the battery pack, follow these.
✓To conserve battery power, be sure to turn off the CAM power when not in use.
✓Battery consumption may vary depending on the condition of use. Recording with many starts and stops, frequent zooming, and recording in low temperatures will shorten actual recording times.
✓Dispose of used battery packs promptly. Do not dispose of them in fire.
✓The battery pack will become warm during charging and use. This is not a malfunction.
✓The battery pack has a limited service life. If the period of use becomes noticeably shorter with a normal charge, the battery pack is at the end of its service life. Replace it with a new battery pack.
✤For the safe use of the Memory Stick and the Memory Stick Pro, follow these.
✓The Memory Stick should be stored away from heaters and other heat sources. Avoid storing Memory Sticks under direct sunlight and avoid electromagnetic fields.
✓Do not power off any devices while transferring data, as this may destroy the data.
✓Back up your image data often to a hard disk or other permanent storage media.
✓Format the Memory Stick periodically.
✓When formatting the Memory Stick or Memory Stick Pro, format in the CAM. If you format it on PC, use the
124‘Memory Stick Formatter’ in the supplied software CD.
