When not using your camcorder for a
long time
To keep your camcorder in optimum state for a
long time, turn it on and let it run by recording
and playing back images about once a month.
Use up the battery pack completely before
storing it.
Note on the camcorder/battery pack
temperature
When the temperature of the camcorder
or battery pack 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 camcorder being
activated in such situations. In this case, an
indicator appears on the LCD screen.
Notes on charging through the USB
cable
Operation with all computers is not assured.
If you connect the camcorder to a laptop
computer that is not connected to a power
source, the battery of the laptop computer will
continue to use up its charge. Do not leave the
camcorder connected to a computer in this
manner.
Charging with a personally assembled
computer, with a converted computer, or
through a USB hub are not guaranteed.
The camcorder may not function correctly,
depending on the USB device which is used
with the computer.
Moisture condensation
If your camcorder is brought directly from
a cold place to a warm place, moisture may
condense inside your camcorder. This may
cause a malfunction to your camcorder.
If moisture condensation has occurred
Leave your camcorder for about 1 hour without
turning it on.
Note on moisture condensation
Moisture may condense when you bring your
camcorder from a cold place into a warm place
(or vice versa) or when you use your camcorder
in a humid place as follows:
You bring your camcorder from a ski slope
into a place warmed up by a heating device.
You bring your camcorder from an air
conditioned car or room into a hot place
outside.
You use your camcorder after a squall or a
rain.
You use your camcorder in a hot and humid
place.
How to prevent moisture condensation
When you bring your camcorder from a cold
place into a warm place, put your camcorder in
a plastic bag and seal it tightly. Remove the bag
when the air temperature inside the plastic bag
has reached the surrounding temperature (after
about 1 hour).
When the camcorder is connected to
a computer or accessories
Do not try to format the recording media of the
camcorder using a computer. If you do so, your
camcorder may not operate correctly.
When connecting the camcorder to another
device with communication cables, 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 the camcorder.
