• 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.
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).
