IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
4
MOISTURE
Moisture may occur if the video camera/recorder is moved from a cold area to a warm humid
area. A flashing "DEW" indication in the viewfinder indicates that moisture has condensed on
the recorder mechanism, which could result in tape damage. Since condensation builds up
gradually, the indication does not appear immediately when condensation starts. When the
temperature or humidity of the room changes abruptly, turn the power on and check that the
"DEW" indication does not appear, then wait for about an hour for safety before using the
camera/recorder. When the "DEW" indication in the viewfinder is flashing the unit will not
operate. When this happens, slide the "EJECT" switch, remove the tape, and wait for the
moisture to dry... the "DEW" indication in the viewfinder will stop flashing.
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 camera/recorder.
When you are not using the camera/recorder, switch off the power and attach the lens cap.
When you shoot at a scene which contains an extremely bright object such as the sun or a
light source, a bright vertical bar may appear in the picture. Your camera/recorder is functioning
properly, but the solid-state pickup device (C.C.D.) usually causes this as an inherent
characteristic. Try to avoid shooting an excessively bright object directly.
Be sure not to leave it in a place where the temperature exceeds 120ºF, 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 leave the viewfinder lens facing sunlight for a prolonged period, or the phosphorescent
surface of the cathode ray tube may be damaged.
