To protect the internal hard disk from shock
by dropping, the camcorder has drop sensor
function*. When a drop occurs, or under a non-
gravity condition, the block noise made when
this function is activated by the camcorder may

drop repeatedly, recording/play back may be
stopped.
When the temperature of the camcorder
becomes extremely high or extremely low, you
may not be able to record or play back on the
camcorder, due to the protection features of the

In this case, an indicator appears on the LCD
screen (p.

Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure
area, where the altitude is more than 3,000

LCD screen. ese points are normal results of
the manufacturing process and do not aect the
