About this manual

Every effort has been made to ensure that the contents of this manual are correct and up to date. However, no guarantee is made regarding the accuracy of the contents. If the contents of this manual do not tally with the camera, please take the camera as a criterion. We reserve the right to change the contents of this manual and specifications of the product without prior notice.

Precautions

General precautions

• Do not use or store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas,

as its components may be damaged.

• Do not store the product in a hot environment. High

temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.

• Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product

warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside; this may damage the electronic circuits.

• Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs.

High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed.

• Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may

damage the internal components.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong

detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a slightly damp soft cloth.

• Do not fire the flash while it is too close to the subject's eyes.

Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired too close to the eyes. When using the flash, the camera should be at least one meter from the eyes of the subject.

• Do not open the battery cover while an image is being

recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored in file.

• If the product or any of its accessories are not working

properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center. The personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange for the product to be repaired.

• Test for proper operation before using the camera.

Notes on the LCD Screen

Caution must be observed when dealing with the fluid contained in the LCD. Ensure that the fluid does not leak if the screen becomes cracked or damaged. If this occurs, follow these steps:

• If the fluid makes contact with skin, wipe it with a clean cloth

then rinse with a large amount of water.

• If the fluid makes contact with eyes, wash eyes with clean

water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

• If the fluid is swallowed, first rinse mouth with water, then

drink a large amount of water and induce vomiting. Seek immediately medical attention.

Waterproof

Waterproof performance

• The camera’s waterproof performance is equivalent to the

IPX8 standard.

• The supplied accessories are not waterproof.

When using the camera

• The waterproof properties of the camera apply to fresh water

and saltwater only; they do not apply to cleaning substances, chemicals, or water from spas, etc. Any such liquids should be wiped off immediately.

• Do not immerse in water at a depth greater than 3.0 m (10 ft).

• Do not subject the camera to highly pressurized water.

• Do not immerse in water for longer than 60 minutes. After 60

minutes of use in water, allow the camera to dry for at least 10 minutes.

• Do not immerse in water warmer than 40°C (104°F).

• Do not open or close the battery/card compartment cover

when the camera is wet or underwater.

Page 9

• Do not open or close the battery/card compartment cover with

wet hands.

• Do not open the battery/card compartment cover next to

water or a pool.

• The camera is not dust-proof.

• Do not bump or knock the camera underwater, otherwise the

battery/card compartment cover may open.

After using the camera

• Be sure to wipe any dirt or sand off the waterproof sealing

material or its contraction surface. Dirt or sand may scratch the material or the surface, making the camera less resistant to water.

• To wash sand, dirt or dust off the camera, rinse it under

running tap water or soak it in a bowl of fresh water or 2 or 3 minutes.

• Do not use any soapy water, mild detergents, alcohol or

similar liquids to clean the camera. They may make the camera less resistant to water.

The sealing material that makes this camcorder waterproof is replaceable at an additional cost and should be replaced once a year to maintain the camera’s water resistance. Please contact us for details to avail of this service.

Operation conditions

• This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from

0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).

• Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas:

- In areas subject to direct sunlight

- In areas subject to high humidity or dust

- Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to temperature extremes

vii

Page 10

- Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun.

- In areas subject to strong vibration

Power supply

• Use only the type of battery that came with your camera.

Using any other type of battery may damage the equipment and invalidate the warranty.

• Ensure the battery is inserted correctly. Inserting the battery

incorrectly can cause damage to the product and possibly start a fire.

• Remove the battery to avoid the fluid leakage if the camera is

not going to be used for a long time.

• If the battery is crushed or damaged, remove it immediately to

avoid the battery fluid leakage and abnormal expansion.

Before You Start

Taking test shots

Before taking pictures with this DV camera in any important occasion (such as a wedding ceremony or an overseas trip), test the camera beforehand to ensure that it functions properly. Any additional loss caused by the malfunction of this product (such as costs of photography or any loss of benefit generated by the photography) is not the responsibility of the manufacturer and no compensation will be given for it.

Observe "No Photography" notices in certain locations. In these cases, you cannot record any live performance, improvisation or exhibits, even for personal purposes. Any transfer of pictures or memory card data must be conducted under the constraints of copyright law.
