Additional Information
About care and storage of the lens
• Wipe the surface of the lens clean with a soft
cloth in the following instances:
– When there are fingerprints on the lens
surface.
– In hot or humid locations
– When the lens is exposed to salty air such as
at the seaside.
• Store in a well-ventilated location subject to
little dirt or dust.
• To prevent mold, periodically clean the lens as
described above. It is recommended that you
operate your camcorder about once a month to
keep it in optimum state for a long time.
On charging the pre-installed
rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed rechargeable
battery to retain the date, time, and other settings
even when the POWER switch is set to OFF
(CHG). The pre-installed rechargeable battery is
always charged while your camcorder is
connected to the wall socket via the AC Adaptor
or while the battery pack is attached. The
rechargeable battery will be fully discharged in
about 3 months if you do not use your
camcorder at all. Use your camcorder after
charging the pre-installed rechargeable battery.
However, even if the pre-installed rechargeable
battery is not charged, the camcorder operation
will not be affected as long as you are not
recording the date.
x Procedures
Connect your camcorder to a wall socket using the
supplied AC Adaptor, and leave it with the
POWER switch set to OFF (CHG) for more than
24 hours.
