Precautions
USE & LOCATION
TO AVOID SHOCK HAZARD ... Your Palmcorder and
power supply should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Do not connect the power supply or operate your Palmcorder if it gets wet. Your Palmcorder has been designed for outdoor use, however, it is not designed to sustain direct exposure to water, rain, sleet, snow, sand, dust, or a direct splashing from a pool or even a cup of coffee. This action could permanently damage the internal parts of your Palmcorder. Do not attempt to disassemble this unit. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Unplug your Palmcorder from the power supply before cleaning.
DO NOT AIM YOUR PALMCORDER AT THE SUN OR
OTHER BRIGHT OBJECTS
DO NOT LEAVE THE PALMCORDER WITH THE EVF
AIMED DIRECTLY AT THE SUN AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE EVF
DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR PALMCORDER TO
EXTENDED HIGH TEMPERATURE ... Such as, in direct
sunlight, inside a closed car, next to a heater, etc... This action could permanently damage the internal parts of your Palmcorder.
AVOID SUDDEN CHANGES IN TEMPERATURE ... If the
unit is suddenly moved from a cold place to a warm place, moisture may form on the tape and inside the unit.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PALMCORDER OR THE POWER

ª About White Balance Sensor
The White Balance Sensor determines the nature of the light source during recording. Do not cover the White Balance Sensor with your hand during recording.
Otherwise, White Balance will not work normally.
Use of Auto White Balance Adjustment in inappropriate lighting conditions may result in reddish or bluish images. Where the subject is found on the left but surrounded by many light-sources, Auto White Balance Adjustment may not operate properly. In such a case, we suggest that you adjust the White Balance.
