Additional Information
• Do not use or store the camcorder in dusty or sandy places. The cam-
corder is not waterproof – avoid also water, mud or salt. If any of the
above should get into the camcorder it may damage the camcorder
and/or the lens.
• Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment.
• Do not disassemble the camcorder. If the camcorder does not function
properly, consult qualified service personnel.
• Handle the camcorder with care. Do not subject the camcorder to
shocks or vibration as this may cause damage.
• When mounting the camcorder on a
tripod, make sure that the tripod’s fas-
tening screw is shorter than 5.5 mm
(0.2 in.). Using other tripods may dam-
age the camcorder.
•
When recording movies, try to get a
calm, stable picture.
Excessive cam-
corder movement while shooting and extensive use of fast zooms and
panning can result in jittery scenes. In extreme cases, the playback of
such scenes may result in visually induced motion sickness. If you expe-
rience such a reaction, stop the playback immediately and take a rest
break as necessary.
• Do not insert the supplied stylus pen into the mouth. If swallowed, seek
medical assistance immediately.
• Handle the supplied stylus pen with extreme care and keep it out of the
reach of children. If mishandled, the stylus pen can present a risk of
severe eye injury and even blindness.
Long-term storage
If you do not intend to use the camcorder for a long time, store it in a
place free of dust, in low humidity, and at temperatures not higher than
30 °C (86 °F).
