Using the camcorder
• Do not hold the camcorder by the
following parts.
• The camcorder is not dustproofed,
dripproofed or waterproofed. See “About
handling of your camcorder” (p. 115).
• To prevent media from being broken or
recorded images from being lost, do not
do the following when either of the
(Movie)/ (Still) lamps (p. 22) or
the ACCESS/access lamps (p. 26, 28) are
on:
–to remove the battery pack or AC
Adaptor from the camcorder
– to apply mechanical shock or vibration to
the camcorder
–to remove the “Memory Stick PRO Duo”
from the camcorder
• When connecting your camcorder to
another device with a cable, be sure to
insert the connector plug in the correct
way. Pushing the plug forcibly into the
terminal will damage the terminal and
may result in a malfunction of your
camcorder.
About menu items, LCD panel,
viewfinder, and lens
• A menu item that is grayed out is not
available under the current recording or
playback conditions.
• The LCD screen and the viewfinder are
manufactured using extremely high-
precision technology, so over 99.99% of
the pixels are effective. However, there
may be some tiny black points and/or
bright points (white, red, blue, or green in
color) that appear constantly on the LCD
screen and the viewfinder. These points
are normal results of the manufacturing
process and do not affect the recording in
any way.
• Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder,
or the lens to direct sunlight for long
periods of time may cause malfunctions.
• Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might
cause your camcorder to malfunction.
Take images of the sun only in low light
conditions, such as at dusk.
On recording
• Before starting to record, test the
recording function to make sure the image
and sound are recorded without any
problems. Use a
DVD-RW/DVD+RW for
trial recording.
• Compensation for the contents of
recordings cannot be provided, even if
recording or playback is not possible due
to a malfunction of the camcorder,
recording media, etc.
• TV color systems differ depending on the
countries/regions. To view your
recordings on a TV, you need a PAL
system-based TV.
• Television programs, films, video tapes,
and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording of such materials
may be contrary to the copyright laws.
