Cautions for use
The unit and the SD card become warm during
use. This is not a malfunction.
Keep the High Definition Video Camera as far
away as possible from electromagnetic
equipment (such as microwave ovens, TVs,
video games etc.).
If you use the High Definition Video Camera on
top of or near a TV, the pictures and sound on
the High Definition Video Camera may be
disrupted by electromagnetic wave radiation.
Do not use the High Definition Video Camera
near cell phones because doing so may result
in noise adversely affecting the pictures and
sound.
Recorded data may be damaged, or pictures
may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields
created by speakers or large motors.
Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by
microprocessors may adversely affect the High
Definition Video Camera, disturbing the
pictures and sound.
If the High Definition Video Camera is
adversely affected by electromagnetic
equipment and stops functioning properly, turn
the High Definition Video Camera off and
remove the battery or disconnect AC adaptor.
Then reinsert the battery or reconnect AC
adaptor and turn the High Definition Video
Camera on.
Do not use the High Definition Video Camera
near radio transmitters or high-voltage lines.
If you record near radio transmitters or
