1) Do not place the camcorder so 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 by a window.
2) Do not pick up the camcorder by the viewfinder.
3) Over rotation may cause damage to the viewfinder.

1) A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensa­tion to form inside the camcorder.
for example:
When you take the camcorder from cold temperature outside to warm temperature inside during the winter.
When you take the camcorder from cool temperature inside to hot temperature outside during the summer.
2) If the “DEW” protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder in a dry, warm room with the cassette compartment opened and the battery removed.
3) If you want to override the “DEW” protection feature after it has been unexpectedly activated, detach the battery pack and lithium battery and then replace them. Please make sure that the condensation has disappeared com­pletely. (see page 62)

Precautions and Safety Instructions
Precautions regarding the battery pack
ENGLISH
6
Make sure that the battery pack is charged before shooting outdoors.To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.When your camcorder is in CAMERA mode, if it is left in STANDBY for more than 5 minutes
without operation, it will automatically turn off to protect against un-necessery battery discharge.
It is a good idea to use the viewfinder instead of the LCD when shooting for a long time because
the LCD uses more battery.
Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack might damage it.
When the battery reaches the end of its life please contact your local dealer.
The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
W
arning: Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY out of the reach of children. Should the battery be swal-
lowed, consult a doctor immediately.
The lithium battery maintains the clock function, TITLE, CUSTOM function and preset contents
memory; even if the battery pack or AC power adapter is removed.
The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 8~10 months under normal operation from time of
installation.
When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time indicator will flash for about five
seconds when you set the power switch to CAMERA.In this case, replace the lithium battery with CR2025 type. (see page 17)
Precautions regarding the Lithium battery
*When the lithium battery
becomes weak or dead please contact your local dealer.The batteries have to be disposed of as chemical waste.
WARNING:
LITHIUM BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.
Precautions and Safety Instructions
Precautions when Recording or Playback using LCD
ENGLISH
7
1) High precision technology is used to manufacture the LCD display. However, there may be some tiny black specks (red, blue or green in colour) that constantly appear on the LCD display. These specks are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in anyway.
2) When using the LCD display outdoors or in direct sunlight, it may be difficult to see.In this case, we recommend that you use the viewfinder.
3) The LCD display's OSD is turned off when the LCD is turned to the forward facing position.
To protect against tape and head-drum wear, your camcorder will automatically turn itself off if left in
STANDBY mode without operation for more than 5 minutes.
5 minutes off timer in STANDBY mode
It is very important to adjust the hand strap correctly so
that the camera can be held steady. (see page 16)
Do not insert your hand in the hand strap forcibly,
as it may result in damaging the velcro locking system.
Precautions when using the hand strap
To ensure normal recording and clear pictures, ensure that the heads are kept clean. When playing
back the pictures, if they are noisy or hardly visible, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type head cleaning tape.
Do not use the wet type of head cleaner as it may damage the video heads.(see page 57)
Precautions when cleaning the video heads

Display of Battery Level
The battery level display indicates the amount of power remaining in the battery pack.
1. Fully charged
2. 10~40% consumed
3. 40~60% consumed
4. 60~80% consumed (prepare a charged one)
5. 80~95% consumed (change the battery)
6. 100% consumed (camcorder will turn off soon, change the battery as soon as possible)
Please refer to the table on page 20 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 time in the operating instructions is measured using a fully charged battery pack in 77°F(25°C). As the environmental temperature and conditions may be different 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 colours are provided (red and black)-you may choose which one indicates charged and which indicates discharged.
