Using the camera recorder near a radio transmitter or high-voltage device may cause harmful effect to the recorded video or audio.
r Take care so sand and/or dust do not get inside the camera when using the camera at the beach, etc.
Sand and dust may damage the camera and memory card. (Be careful when inserting or removing the memory card)
r AC adaptor, battery charger, and battery
f It may take more time to charge or may not be able to charge when the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low. f When the charging lamp continues to ash in orange, check if there is any debris, foreign object, or dirt attached to the terminal section of the battery
or the battery charger, and reconnect it correctly. Always disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before removing the debris, foreign object, or dirt attached to the terminal section.
f The charging lamp will ash in orange when the temperature of the battery is extremely high or low.
Then, charging will start automatically after the battery reaches chargeable temperature.
f If the charging lamp continues to ash even when the battery is at its optimal temperature, the battery or battery charger may be damaged. Consult
the dealer.
f Noise may be generated in radio when the camera is used close to a radio (especially when receiving AM). Keep a distance of 1 m or more when
using.
f Oscillating sound may generate inside the AC adaptor or the battery charger during the use, but this is not a malfunction. f Always disconnect the power plug from the power outlet after the use. (Power of approximately 0.1 W is consumed by the AC power itself if kept
connected)
f Do not get the terminal section of the AC adaptor, the battery charger, or the battery dirty. Install the device close to the power outlet so the
disconnection device (power plug) can be easily reached.
r SD card
f Surface of camera or the SD card may get slightly hot when used for a long period of time, but this is not a malfunction. f The memory capacity described on the label of the SD card is a total of following capacities.
- Capacity to protect and manage copyright
- Capacity usable as the normal memory on the camera or a PC.
f Do not apply strong impact, bend, or drop the SD card. f Data in the SD card may get destroyed or erased in following cases.
- Electrical noise or static electricity
- Malfunction of the camera or the SD card
f Do not perform following operations when accessing the SD card (card 1 access lamp/card 2 access lamp is ashing in orange).
- Removing the SD card
- Disconnecting battery or the AC adaptor without turning off the camera
- Apply vibration of impact
r Take care not to drop the camera when carrying the camera.
f Strong impact will damage the camera, and it may not operate properly. f Hold the handle or grip when carrying the camera, and handle it carefully.
r Do not apply insecticide or volatile material to the camera.
f The camera may deform or the paint may peel off when insecticide or volatile material is applied. f Do not allow the camera to remain in contact with a rubber or vinyl object for a long period of time.
r Disconnect the battery or disconnect the AC cable from the power outlet after the use.
r Battery characteristics
The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It produces electrical energy via an internal chemical reaction. This chemical reaction is effected by the ambient temperature and humidity. The usable time of the battery becomes shorter when the temperature gets higher or lower. When used in an environment with extremely low temperature, it can only be used for approximately ve minutes.
When the battery is in an extremely hot environment, its protective function will operate and the camera recorder cannot be used temporarily.
– 11 –
Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera
r After using the camera recorder, be sure to remove the battery.
Securely remove the battery from the camera.
(Minute current is consumed even if the camera is turned off when the battery is kept mounted)
The battery will become over discharge and may become unusable even if it is recharged when the battery is kept mounted for long period of time.
Do not remove the battery when the power is turned on.
Turn off the power and remove the battery after the operation lamp goes completely out.
r Take proper care of the battery terminal.
Do not allow dust or foreign objects on the battery terminal.
Conrm that the battery and its terminal section is not deformed when the battery is dropped by mistake.
Do not mount the deformed battery into a camera or mount to the battery charger. This may damage the camera or the battery charger.
r Cautions when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others
Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the camera or a computer will merely change the le management information: it will not completely erase the data on the cards.
It is recommended to completely erase the data in following method when discarding/conveying.
f Physically destroy the memory card itself f Completely erase the data in the memory card using a commercially available data erasing software for PC, etc.
Users are responsible for managing the data stored in their memory card.
r LCD monitor
f Do not continuously display the same image or text on the LCD monitor for a long period of time. The image may be burned on to the screen. It will
return to normal after leaving the camera recorder turned off for several hours.
f Condensation sometimes forms on the LCD panel of the LCD monitor in locations subject to extreme temperature differences. If this happens, wipe
with a soft, dry cloth.
f The LCD monitor will be slightly darker than normal immediately after the power is turned on when the camera is very cold. It will return to its regular
brightness when the internal temperature increases.
f The LCD monitor is precisely managed so that at least 99.99% of the dots are effective pixels, but there may be 0.01% or less of pixels that are
missing or always lit. This is not a malfunction and it has no effect whatsoever on the recorded images.
f It may become difcult to see or difcult to recognize the touch when a LCD protection sheet is afxed.
r Do not point the lens toward the sun.
Doing so might damage the components inside.
