Notes before sending your camcorder
for repair
Your camcorder may be required to initialize or
change the current hard disk of your camcorder,
depending on the problem. In the event of this,
the data stored on the hard disk will be deleted.
Be sure to save the data on the internal hard
disk on other media (backup) before sending
y
our camcorder for repair (p. 67, see Operating
Guide too). We will not compensate you for any
loss of hard disk data.
During repair, we may check a minimum
amount of data stored on the hard disk in order
to investigate the problem. However, your Sony
dealer will neither copy nor retain your data.
