Extremely high precision technology is employed to
produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of
approximately 105,000 pixels. The result is more
than 99.99 % effective pixels with a mere 0.01 % of
the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not
a malfunction and does not affect the recorded
picture.
Viewfi nder
• Do not direct the Viewfi nder or Lens to the sun.
Internal components may be seriously damaged.
•
When the Camcorder is used with a large capacity
Battery (CGR-D16A/1B, CGP-D28A/1B: Optional)
attached to it, it is not practical to look in the Viewfi nder
from behind the Battery.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to
produce the Viewfi nder screen featuring a total of
approximately 67,000 pixels. The result is more
than 99.99 % effective pixels with a mere 0.01 % of
the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not
a malfunction and does not affect the recorded
picture.
• Once every half year, wind the tape to the end and
then rewind it to the beginning. If the Cassette is left
for 1 year or longer without winding or rewinding,
temperature and humidity changes may cause the
Cassette to deform due to swelling, shrinking, and so
forth. The wound tape may stick to itself.
• Do not place a Cassette near highly magnetic
substances or equipment.
• The surface of tape is covered with extremely minute
magnetic particles, upon which signals are recorded.
Magnetic necklaces, toys, etc., have magnetic force
that is stronger than you may normally expect, and
they may erase the contents of a recording or may
cause noise in images and sounds.
Card
• When the Card is being read, do not remove the
Card, turn off the power, or subject it to vibration or
impact.
• Do not leave the Card in places where there is
high temperature or direct sunlight, or where
electromagnetic waves or static electricity are easily
generated.
• Do not bend or drop the Card. The Card or the
recorded content may be damaged.
• After use, be sure to remove the Card from the
Camcorder.
• After usage, store the supplied SD Memory Card in
the enclosed bag.
• Do not touch the terminals on the back of the Card
with your fi ngers. Do not allow dirt, dust or water to
enter it.
• Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to
prevent swallowing.
LCD Monitor/Viewfi nder/Lens Hood
LCD Monitor
• In a place with drastic temperature changes,
condensation may form on the LCD Monitor. Wipe it
with a soft dry cloth.
• If your Camcorder is extremely cold when you turn its
power on, the image on the LCD Monitor is slightly
darker than usual at fi rst. However, as the internal
temperature increases, it goes back to the normal
brightness.
Lens Hood
• Do not attach other conversion lenses in front of
the Lens Hood; there is no mount to be used for the
attachment.
• When you wish to attach the Tele Conversion Lens (not
supplied), Wide Conversion Lens (not supplied), MC
Protector (not supplied), or ND Filter (not supplied),
fi rst of all, turn the Lens Hood counter-clockwise. If
the MC Protector or ND Filter is used, the Lens Hood
can be mounted on the fi lter.
• If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during
recording with the fi lter and conversion lens
attached together to the Camcorder, 4 corners of the
image may become dark (vignetting). For details,
please refer to the operating instructions of your
accessories.
• Be sure to keep the Lens Hood attached to the
Camcorder so as to shut out unnecessary light.
Before Requesting Service (Problems
and Solutions)
Power
The Camcorder power cannot be turned on.
• Is the power source connected correctly?
(pp. 13-14)
The Camcorder power is turned off
automatically.
• When the Recording Pause Mode continues
for more than 5 minutes, the power is turned
off automatically for tape protection and power
conservation. (If the AC Adaptor is used, the
power is turned off only when the tape is
inserted in Tape Recording Mode.) When the
tape is inserted in Tape Recording Mode and
if the Recording Pause Mode continues for
more than 5 minutes the power is turned off
automatically. To resume recording from this
condition, turn off, then turn on the power again.
(p. 22)
The Camcorder power does not stay on
long enough.
• Is the Battery low? Charge the Battery or attach
a fully charged Battery. (pp. 13-14)
• Has condensation occurred? Wait until the
Condensation Indication disappears. (p. 61)
