Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with
care:
• The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do
not press its surface with any force, hit it, or
puncture it with a sharp object.
• If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in the
display may occur. If unevenness does not dis-
appear soon, turn the DVD video camera/re-
corder off, wait for a while, and then turn it on
again.
• Do not place the DVD video camera/recorder
with the open LCD screen down.
• Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD
video camera/recorder.
• Do not hold by the LCD monitor as this could
cause a malfunction.
• Open the LCD monitor by 90° before changing
its direction. If you attempt to invert its direc-
tion before opening it completely, it could cause
a malfunction.
• Do not disassemble the LCD monitor as this
might cause a malfunction.
• When opening the LCD monitor, be careful that
no water droplets adhere to the monitor screen
and that no water or dust enters the DVD video
camera/recorder as it could cause a malfunction.
Liquid Crystal Display and viewfinder:
• The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly
dimmer than usual when the DVD video cam-
era/recorder is at low temperature, as in cold

The normal brightness will be restored when the
temperature inside the DVD video camera/re-
corder rises.

when lifting the DVD video camera/recorder:

mal recording/playback.
• When using the DVD video camera/recorder
connected to PC, operate it at room temperature.

where the temperature is high for an extended
period of time, it will overheat and may not op-
erate normally.

high for a long time: This could cause malfunc-
tions.

tion or burn in CCD or viewfinder.
