Note on TV Color Systems

TV color systems are different depending on the countries. If you view the playback picture on a TV, you need an NTSC system based TV. When you want to use a PAL-M system based TV, you will need an NTSC/PAL-M transcoder (as this is an NTSC system based camcorder).

Precaution on Copyright

Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the provision of the copyright laws.

Precautions on Camcorder Care

•The LCD screen and/or the color viewfinder are manufactured using high-precision technology. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the screen and/or in the viewfinder. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recorded picture in any way. Over 99.99% are operational for effective use.
