Cautions When Using
Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:
•
The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with force, hit it or prick it with a sharp
object.
•
If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in display may occur. If unevenness does not disappear, turn
the DVD Palmcorder off, wait for a few moments, and then turn it on again.
•
Do not place the DVD Palmcorder with the open LCD screen down.
•
Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD Palmcorder.
Liquid crystal display and viewfinder:
•
The LCD screen and viewfinder are the products of highly precise technology. Among the total number
of pixels (approx. 120,000 pixels for LCD monitor and approx. 110,000 pixels for viewfinder), 0.01% or
less pixels may be missing (black dots) or may remain lit as colored dots (red, blue, green). This shows
the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that will interfere with recording.
•
The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly dimmer than usual when the DVD Palmcorder is at low
temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately after power is turned on. Normal brightness will be
restored when the temperature inside the DVD Palmcorder rises.
Hold the DVD Palmcorder correctly:
•
Do not hold the by viewfinder or LCD monitor when lifting the DVD Palmcorder: The viewfinder or
LCD monitor could detach and the DVD Palmcorder may fall.
Do not subject the DVD Palmcorder to impact:
•
This DVD Palmcorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it against a hard
object or let it fall.
•
Do not use the DVD Palmcorder on a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe vibrations or impact.
No sand or dust!
•
Fine sand or dust entering the DVD Palmcorder or AC adapter/charger could cause malfunctions or
defects.
No water or oil!
•
Water or oil entering the DVD Palmcorder or AC adapter/charger could cause electric shock,
malfunctions or defects.
