GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
As with any sensitive piece of equipment, care
*
should be taken when using digital camcorders.
Do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.
To avoid damage to the internal parts of the EVF
(electronic viewnder), do not aim your camcorder
at the sun or other bright objects.
Extended high temperature or sudden changes in
*
temperature should be avoided.
Do not leave your camcorder or the power supply
*
turned on when not in use.
Store and handle your camcorder so that it will not
*
be subjected to unnecessary shaking or striking
movement.
Do not record over a previously used tape, this
*
degrades quality and gets the video heads dirty.
We recommend that you use MiniDV tapes to record
and play back in Standard Play (SP) mode only,
especially if you plan to edit later. Recording time: SP
mode, 30 or 60 minutes; Long Play (LP) mode, 45 or
90 minutes depending on tape size.
