Using the camcorder
Do not hold the camcorder by the following

the jack covers.

The camcorder is not dustproofed, dripproofed
or waterproofed. See “About handling of your
camcorder” (p
. 89).
Menu items, LCD panel, and lens
A menu item that is grayed out is not available
under the current recording or playback
conditions.
The LCD screen 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 screen. These points are normal results of
the manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any way.
Exposing the LCD screen 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.
About changing the language setting
The on-screen displays in each local language
are used for illustrating the operating
procedures. Change the screen language before
u
sing your camcorder if necessary (p. 16).
