Do not do any of the following when the (Movie)/ (Photo) mode lamp (p. 15) or the ACCESS/access lamp (p. 13, 39) are lit or flashing. Otherwise, the recording media may be damaged, recorded images may be lost or other malfunctions could occur.

removing the battery pack or AC Adaptor from the camcorder

Do not apply shock or vibration to the camcorder. The camcorder may not be able to record or play movies and photos.

Do not use the camcorder in very loud areas. The camcorder may not be able to record or play movies and photos.

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 the camcorder.

To protect the internal hard disk from shock by dropping, the camcorder has drop sensor function. When a drop occurs, or under a non- gravity condition, the block noise made when this function is activated by the camcorder may also be recorded. If the drop sensor catches a drop repeatedly, recording/playback may be stopped.

When the temperature of the camcorder becomes extremely high or extremely low, you may not be able to record or play back on the camcorder, due to the protection features of the camcorder being activated in such situations. In this case, a message appears on the LCD screen (p. 47).

Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure area, where the altitude is more than 5,000 meters (16,000 feet). Doing so may damage the hard disk drive of the camcorder.
