Precautions and maintenance information

PrecautionsOperation

•Operate your camcorder on 7.2 V (battery pack) or 8.4 V (AC adaptor/charger). •For DC or AC operation, use the accessories recommended in the operating

instructions.

•Keep the POWER switch set to OFF when you are not using your camcorder. •Do not wrap your camcorder in a towel, for example, and operate it. Doing so may

cause heat to build up inside.

•Keep your camcorder away from strong magnetic fields or mechanical vibration. •Keep your camcorder away from TV and AM receivers. TV and AM receivers may

cause noise in recording.

•Pass the microphone and remote cords under the flap of the grip strap so that they are not included in the picture, especially when using a wide conversion lens.

•Adjust the angle of the LCD screen not to reflect the sun. The LCD screen reflects a strong light, it is difficult to look and not good for your eyes.

•Do not shoot the sun directly. Doing so may cause malfunction of your camcorder. •You may hear intermittent sound during operation. This is due to inherent nature of

the MD and not a malfunction.

Handling

•If any solid object or liquid gets inside the casing, unplug your camcorder and have it checked by a Sony dealer before operating it any further.

•Avoid rough handling or mechanical shock. Be particularly careful of the lens. •Do not touch the lens in the disc compartment. If the lens becomes dirty, playback

may not be performed or pictures may dropout. To keep the lens away from dust, keep the disc lid shut except when you insert or eject a disc.

•To attach a tripod, use the supplied tripod attachment. If you do not use the tripod attachment, make sure that the tripod is securely attached and stable.

•Do not let sand get into your camcorder. When you use your camcorder on a sandy beach or in a dusty place, protect it from the sand or dust. Sand or dust may cause your camcorder to malfunction, and sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired.

Safety

•When a conversion lens is attached, do not look at the sun directly.

•If you have skin trouble after using the eyecup, stop using your camcorder and consult a doctor.

•Keep the input pen, the ferrite cores and the plastic tie of the cables out of the reach of children to prevent children from swallowing them.

Moisture condensation

If the camcorder is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense inside and outside the camcorder. Using the camcorder in this condition may result in malfunction of the camcorder. If moisture condensation occurs, remove the battery, turn off the camcorder, and leave it for about one hour with the battery compartment open.
