Television programs, video tapes, DVD titles, films, and other program
materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized copying of copyrighted material may be against the law.
1. A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause
condensation to form inside the camcorder.
for example:
- When you move the camcorder from a cold location to a warm
location (e.g. from outside to inside during winter.)
- When you move the camcorder from a cool location to a hot
location (e.g. from inside to outside during the summer.)
2. If the (DEW) protection feature is activated, leave the
camcorder for at least two hours in a dry, warm room with the
cassette compartment opened and the battery pack removed.
1. Do not leave the camcorder exposed to high temperature
(above 60°C or 140°F).
For example, in a parked car in the sun or exposed to direct
sunlight.
2. Do not let the camcorder get wet.
Keep the camcorder away from rain, sea water, and any other form
of moisture. If the camcorder gets wet, it may get damaged.
Sometimes a malfunction due to exposure to liquids cannot be
repaired.

Notes regarding the battery pack
- Make sure that the battery pack is fully
charged before starting to record.
- To preserve battery power, keep your
camcorder turned off when you are not
operating it.
- If your camcorder is in CAM mode, and it is
left in STBY mode without being operated
for more than 5 minutes with a tape
installed, it will automatically turn itself off to
protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
- Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
- A brand new battery pack is not charged.
Before using the battery pack, you need to charge it completely.
- It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD when
making a long recordings, because the LCD uses up more battery
power.
* When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your
local dealer. The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
- To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video
heads regularly. If a square block-shape distorts playback,
or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty.
If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning
cassette.
- Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video
heads.

- Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the CCD(Charge Coupled Device).
1. Do not position the camcorder such that the viewfinder is pointing
towards the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder. Be careful
when placing the camcorder under sunlight or near a window
exposed to sunlight.
2. Do not pick up the camcorder from the viewfinder.
3. Over pulling of the viewfinder may damage it.
1. The LCD display has been
manufactured using high precision
technology. However, there may be
tiny dots (red, blue or green in color)
that appear on the LCD display.
These dots are normal and do not
affect the recorded picture in any
way.
2. When you use the LCD display under direct sunlight or outdoors,
it maybe difficult to see the picture clearly.
If this occurs, we recommend using the viewfinder.
3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor.
- To ensure a steady picture during filming, check that
the hand strap is properly adjusted.
- Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you
could damage it.

Precautions regarding the Lithium battery
1. The lithium battery maintains the clock function and user settings;
even if the battery pack or AC adapter is removed.
2. The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 6 months under
normal operation from time of installation.
3. When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time
indicator will display “--- ” when you set the DATE/TIME to ON.
In this case, replace the lithium battery with a new one(type
CR2025).
4. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Warning: Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY out of reach of children.
Should a battery be swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately.

Battery level display
•
The battery level display indicates the amount of power
remaining in the battery pack.
a. Fully charged
b. 20~40% used
c. 40~80% used
d. 80~95% used
e. Completely used (flickers)
(The camcorder will turn off soon,
change the battery as soon as possible)
✤ Please refer to the table on page 25 for approximate continuous
recording times.
✤ The recording time is affected by environmental temperature and
conditions.
The recording time becomes very short in a cold environment.
The continuous recording times in the operating instructions are
measured using a fully charged battery pack at 77°F(25°C).
As the environmental temperature and conditions may differ when
you actually use the camcorder, the remaining battery time may
not be the same as the approximate continuous recording times
given in these instructions.
Tips for Battery Identification
A charge mark is provided on the battery pack to help
you remember whether it has been charged or not.
Two colors are provided (red and grey)-you may
choose which one indicates charged and which
indicates discharged.
