This may cause a malfunction.
Playing back images with
other devices
You may not be able to play back
images that were recorded on your
camcorder with other devices
normally. Also, you may not be able
to play back images recorded on
other devices with your camcorder.
Recording and playback
• Avoid rough handling,
disassembling, modifying, physical
shock, or impact such as
hammering, dropping or stepping
on the product. Be particularly
careful with the lens.
• To ensure stable operation of the
memory card, it is recommended to
format the memory card with your
camcorder before the first use.
Formatting the memory card will
erase all the data stored on it and
the data will be irrecoverable. Save
your important data on your PC, etc.
• Confirm the direction of the
memory card. If you forcibly insert
the memory card in the wrong
direction, the memory card,
memory card slot, or image data
may be damaged.
• Before starting to record, test the
recording function to make sure the
image and sound are recorded
without any problems.
• Television programs, films, video
tapes, and other materials may be
copyrighted. Unauthorized
recording of such materials may be
a violation of the copyright laws.
• Compensation for the content of
recordings cannot be provided,
even if recording or playback is not
possible due to a malfunction of the
camcorder, recording media, etc.
• The camcorder is not dustproofed,
dripproofed or waterproofed.
• Do not let your camcorder get wet,
for example, from rain or sea water.
If your camcorder gets wet, it may
malfunction. Sometimes this
malfunction cannot be repaired.
• Do not aim the camcorder at the
sun or strong light. Doing so may
cause your camcorder to
malfunction.
• Do not use the camcorder near
strong radio waves or radiation. The
camcorder may not be able to
record or play back images
properly.
• Do not use the camcorder on a
sandy beach or anywhere dusty.
Doing so may cause your
camcorder to malfunction.
• If moisture condensation occurs,
stop using the camcorder until
moisture evaporates.
• Do not subject the camcorder to
mechanical shock or vibration. If
you do so, the camcorder may
operate incorrectly or may not
record images. In addition, the
recording medium or recorded data
may be damaged.
LCD monitor
The LCD monitor is manufactured
using extremely high-precision
technology, so over 99.99% of the
pixels are operational for effective
use. 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
monitor. These points are normal
results of the manufacturing process
and do not affect the recording in any
way.
Camcorder temperature
If you use the camcorder
continuously for a long time, the
camcorder gets very warm. This is not
a malfunction.
