IMPORTANT NOTE
• Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:
- The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with a sharp
object.
- If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear, turn the
camcorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.
- Do not place the camcorder with the open LCD screen down.
- Close the LCD screen when not using the camcorder.
Liquid crystal display:
- The LCD screen of this product uses high precision technology. Among the total number of pixels (approx.
230,000 pixels for LCD screen), 0.01% or less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as coloured
dots (red, blue, green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that
will interfere with recording.
- The LCD screen will be slightly dimmer than usual when the camcorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas,
or immediately after power is turned on. Normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the
camcorder rises. This has no effect on the images in the storage media, so there is no cause for concern.
