Excessive camcorder movement while
shooting and extensive use of fast
zooms and panning can result in jittery
scenes. In extreme cases, the
playback of such scenes may result in
visually induced motion sickness. If
you experience such a reaction,
immediately stop the playback and
take a rest break as necessary.
Long-term storage
If you do not intend to use the
camcorder for a long time, store it in a
place free of dust, in low humidity, and
at temperatures not higher than 30 °C
(86 °F).
