Do’s and Don’ts
• Do not point the camcorder toward an intense light source,
such as the sun on a sunny day or an intense artificial light
source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or the cam-
corder's internal components.
• Do not use or store the camcorder in dusty or sandy places.
The camcorder 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 cam-
corder to shocks or vibration as this may cause damage.
• When mounting the camcorder on a tripod, make sure that the
tripod’s fastening screw is shorter than 5.5 mm. Using other
tripods may damage the camcorder.
