≥Do not allow the Battery terminals to come
in contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins, etc.). This can result in
a short circuit or heat generation and, if you
touch the Battery in this condition, you may
be badly burned.
≥Store the Battery in a completely discharged
state. To store the Battery for a long period of
time, we recommend you charge it once every
year and store it again after you completely use
up the charged capacity.
Cassette
≥Before storing it, rewind the tape to the
beginning. If the Cassette is left for more than
6 months with the tape stopped midway, the
tape sags (although it depends on the storage
condition). Be sure to rewind to the beginning.
≥Store the Cassette in its case. Dust, direct
sunlight (ultraviolet rays), or humidity may
damage the tape. Dust contains hard mineral
particles, and dusty Cassettes damage the
heads of the Palmcorder and other
components. Develop a habit of returning the
Cassette back to its case.
≥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
Palmcorder.
≥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 fingers. Do not allow dirt, dust or
water to enter it.
≥Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children
to prevent swallowing.
ª LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood
LCD Monitor
≥In a place with drastic temperature changes,
condensation may form on the LCD Monitor.
Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
≥If your Palmcorder is extremely cold when you
turn its power on, the image on the LCD Monitor
is slightly darker than usual at first. However, as
the internal temperature increases, it goes back
to the normal brightness.
Viewfinder
≥Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun.
Internal components may be seriously
damaged.
≥When the Palmcorder is used with a large
capacity Battery attached to it, it is not practical
to look in the Viewfinder from behind the
Battery.
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), first 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 filter.
≥If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during
recording with the filter and conversion lens
attached together to the Palmcorder, 4 corners
of the image may become dark (vignetting). For
details, please refer to the operating instructions
of your accessories.
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD Monitor
screen featuring a total of approximately
123,000 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.
