PRECAUTIONS
Any problems that occur as a result of any of the following conditions will not be covered by our warranty.
 Be careful that no water, dust, or sand enters the camcorder.
 When you are not using the camcorder, switch off the power and attach the lens cap.
 When you shoot at a scene which contains an extremely bright object such as the the sun or a light source, a
bright vertical bar may appear in the picture.
Your camcorder is functioning properly, but the solid-state pickup device (CCD) usually causes this as an
inherent characteristic. Try to avoid shooting an excessive bright object directly.
 Be sure not to leave the camcorder in a place where the temperature exceeds 140ºF (60ºC), or the pickup
device may be damaged.
Dangerous includes:
• Inside a car with the windows closed and in direct sunshine.
• Near heating appliances.
 Do not point the electronic viewfinder to direct sunlight; it could damage the viewfinder.
 The liquid crystal display (LCD) panel is made by highly precise technology. More than 99.99% of its picture
elements (pixels) are effective, but some (less than 0.01%) may not appear as coloured bright dots. This does
not indicate a fault as the LCD panel stretches the limits of current technology.
