Cautions (Continued)
●
Do not strike or shake the hard disk.
●
When the camera is repaired or inspected,
data may be erased, and the hard disk may be
formatted. Back up all data before requesting
repair or inspection.
●
Play back your trial recording to make sure the
video and audio have been recorded properly.
●
When formatting or erasing data using the
camera, only the file administration
information is changed. The data is not
completely erased from the hard disk. If you
want to completely erase all of the data, we
recommend either using commercially
available software that is specially designed
for that purpose, or by physically destroying
the camera with a hammer etc.
