Warranty Disclaimer
The XA10 / HF-G10 is a tool that, like any tool, requires knowledge and understanding to
be effective.
Your responsibility is to learn the proper setup, use and care of the XA10 / HF-G10.

not warrant the contents of your housing (e.g. your camera and lenses) under any
circumstance. For the same reasons, Gates does not warrant optical performance or
image quality.
