About handling of your camcorder

On use and care

Do not use or store the camcorder and accessories in the following locations:

Anywhere extremely hot, cold or humid. Never leave them exposed to temperatures above 60 C (140 °F), such as under direct sunlight, near heaters or in a car parked in the sun. They may malfunction or become deformed.

Near strong magnetic fields or mechanical vibration. The camcorder may malfunction.

Near strong radio waves or radiation. The camcorder may not be able to record properly.

Near AM receivers and video equipment. Noise may occur.

On a sandy beach or anywhere dusty. If sand or dust gets in your camcorder, it may malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired.

Near windows or outdoors, where the LCD screen, or the lens may be exposed to direct sunlight. This damages the LCD screen.

Operate your camcorder on DC 6.8 V/7.2 V (battery pack) or DC 8.4 V (AC Adaptor).

For DC or AC operation, use the accessories recommended in these operating instructions.

Do not let your camcorder get wet, for example, from rain or sea water. If your camcorder

gets wet, it may malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired.

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, disassembling,

modifying, physical shock, or impact such as hammering, dropping or stepping on the product. Be particularly careful of the lens.

Keep the LCD screen closed when you are not using your camcorder.

Do not wrap your camcorder with a towel, for example, and operate it. Doing so might cause heat to build up inside.

When disconnecting the power cord (mains lead), pull it by the plug and not the cord.

Do not damage the power cord (mains lead) such as by placing anything heavy on it.

Do not use a deformed or damaged battery pack.

When not using your camcorder for a long time

To keep your camcorder in optimum state for a long time, turn it on and let it run by recording and playing back images about once a month.

Use up the battery pack completely before storing it.

Moisture condensation

If your camcorder is brought directly from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may condense inside your camcorder. This may cause a malfunction to your camcorder.

If moisture condensation has occurred

Leave your camcorder for about 1 hour without turning it on.

Note on moisture condensation

Moisture may condense when you bring your camcorder from a cold place into a warm place (or vice versa) or when you use your camcorder in a humid place as follows:
