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 LCD 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.
•Do not let the camcorder get wet. Keep the camcorder away from rain and sea water. Letting the camcorder get wet may cause the unit to malfunction, and sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired. [a]
•Never leave the camcorder under temperatures above 140° F (60 °C), such as in a car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight. [b]
