1) High precision technology is used to manufacture the LCD Screen.
However, there may be some tiny black specks
(red, blue or green in colour) that constantly appear on
the LCD Screen. These specks are normal and do not affect the
recorded picture in anyway.
2) When using the LCD Screen outdoors or in direct sunlight,
it may be difficult to see. In this case, we recommend
that you use the viewfinder.
3) The LCD Screen's OSD is turned off when the LCD is
turned to the forward facing position.
✤
To protect against tape and head-drum wear, your camcorder will automatically turn itself off if left in
STANDBY mode without operation for more than 5 minutes.

It is very important to adjust the hand strap correctly so
that the camera can be held steady. (see page 16)
✤
Do not insert your hand in the hand strap forcibly,
as it may result in damaging the velcro locking system.

✤
To ensure normal recording and clear pictures, ensure that the heads are kept clean. When playing
back the pictures, if they are noisy or hardly visible, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens, clean the video
heads with a dry type head cleaning tape.
✤
Do not use the wet type of head cleaner as it may damage the video heads. (see page 58)
