Using the camcorder
The camcorder is not dustproofed, dripproofed
or waterproofed. See “Precautions” (p. 30).
Do not do any of the following when the
(movie)/ (still image) lamps (p. 10) or
ACCESS lamps (p. 12, 16) is lit or flashing.
Otherwise the media may be damaged, recorded
images may be lost or other malfunctions could
occur.
Remove the “Memory Stick PRO Duo.”
Remove the battery pack or AC Adaptor from
the camcorder.
Apply mechanical shock or vibration to the
camcorder.
When connecting your camcorder to another
device with a cable, be sure to insert the
connector plug in the correct way. Pushing the
plug forcibly into the terminal will damage the
terminal and may result in a malfunction of
your camcorder.
Do not apply shock or vibration to your
camcorder. The hard disk of the camcorder may
not be recognized, or recording or playback
may not be possible.
Do not use your camcorder in very loud areas.
The hard disk of the camcorder may not be
recognized, or recording may not be possible.
To protect the internal hard disk from shock
by dropping, the camcorder has drop sensor
function*. When a drop occurs, or under a non-
gravity condition, the block noise made when
this function is activated by the camcorder may
also be recorded. If the drop sensor catches a
drop repeatedly, recording/play back may be
stopped.
When the temperature of the camcorder
becomes extremely high or extremely low, you
may not be able to record or play back on the
camcorder, due to the protection features of the
camcorder being activated in such situations.
In this case, an indicator appears on the LCD
screen (p. 28).
