8 Make a backup of important
recorded data
It is recommended to copy your
important recorded data to a DVD or
other recording media for storage.
( pg. 46) JVC will not be responsible
for any lost data.
8 Make a trial recording
Before the actual recording of important
data, make a trial recording and play
back the recorded data to check that the
video and sound have been recorded
correctly.
8 Reset the camera if it does not
operate correctly
This camera uses a microcomputer.
Factors such as background noise and
interference can prevent it from operating
correctly. If the camera does not operate
correctly, reset the camera. ( pg. 73)
8 Precautions on handling batteries
Be sure to use the JVC BN-VF815U/
VF823U battery packs.
If the camera is subjected to
electrostatic discharge, turn the power
off before using it again.
8 If a malfunction occurs, stop
using the camera immediately and
consult your local JVC dealer
If a problem occurs when using the SD
card, take the card together with the
camera for repair. If one of them is not
included, the cause of the malfunction
cannot be diagnosed, and the camera
cannot be repaired.
Recorded data may be erased while
the camera is being repaired or
inspected. Back up all data before
requesting repairs or inspections.
8 Because cameras may be used
for demonstration in a shop, the
demonstration mode is set to on by
default
To deactivate the demonstration mode,
set [DEMO MODE] to [OFF]. ( pg. 69)
