The camcorder is not dustproofed, dripproofed or waterproofed. See “About handling of your camcorder” (p. 101).

Do not do any of the following when the (Movie)/ (Photo) mode lamps (p. 19) or the ACCESS/access lamps (p. 16, 60) are lit or flashing. Otherwise, the recording media may be damaged, recorded images may be lost or other malfunctions could occur.

Ejecting the “Memory Stick PRO Duo” media from the camcorder

Removing the battery pack or AC Adaptor from the camcorder

Applying mechanical shock or vibration to the camcorder

When connecting your camcorder to another device with a cable, be sure to insert the connector plug in the correct way. Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal will damage the terminal and may result in a malfunction of your camcorder.

Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the camcorder, holding both the camcorder and the DC plug.

Menu items, LCD panel, and lens

A menu item that is grayed out is not available under the current recording or playback conditions.

The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue, or green in color) that appear constantly on the LCD screen. These points are normal results of the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way.
