Additional Information
On the pickup lens
• Do not touch the lens inside the disc cover. Keep
the disc cover closed except when inserting and
removing the disc, to keep dust out.
• When your camcorder does not work because the
pickup lens is dirty, clean it with a blower (not
supplied). Do not touch the pickup lens directly
during cleaning because this may cause the
camcorder to malfunction.

Care and storage of the camera lens
• Wipe the surface of the lens clean with a soft cloth
in the following instances:
– when there are fingerprints on the lens surface.
– in hot or humid locations
– when the lens is exposed to salty air such as at
the seaside.
• Store the lens in a well-ventilated location subject
to little dirt or dust.
• To prevent mold, periodically clean the lens as
described above. It is recommended that you
operate your camcorder about once a month to
keep it in optimum state for a long time.
To charge the pre-installed
rechargeable battery
Your camcorder has a pre-installed
rechargeable battery to retain the date, time,
and other settings even when the POWER
switch is set to OFF (CHG). The pre-installed
rechargeable battery is always charged while
you are using your camcorder but it will get
discharged gradually if you do not use your
camcorder. The rechargeable battery will be
fully discharged in about 3 months if you
do not use your camcorder at all. However,
even if the pre-installed rechargeable battery
is not charged, the camcorder operation will
not be affected as long as you are not
recording the date.
x Procedures
Connect your camcorder to a wall outlet
using the AC Adaptor supplied with your
camcorder, and leave your camcorder with
the POWER switch turned off for more than
24 hours.
