Camcorder Handling Precautions
❍
Do not carry the camcorder by the viewfinder or the microphone.
❍
Do not leave the camcorder in places subject to high temperatures, such as a sun-heated car, and
high humidity.
❍
Do not use the camcorder in places subject to magnetic or electric fields such as near the TV
transmitters or portable communication devices.
❍
Do not point the lens or viewfinder at strong light sources. Do not leave the camcorder pointed at a
bright subject.
❍
Do not use the camcorder in dusty or sandy places. Dust or sand getting inside the cassette or
camcorder may cause damage. Dust and sand can also damage the lens. Attach the lens cap after
use.
❍
The camcorder is not waterproof. Water, mud or salt getting inside the cassette or camcorder may
cause damage.
❍
Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment.
❍
Do not disassemble the camcorder. If the camcorder does not function properly, consult qualified
service personnel.
❍
Handle the camcorder with care. Do not subject the camcorder to shocks or vibration as this may
cause damage.
❍
Avoid sudden changes in temperature. Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold
temperatures may cause condensation to form on its internal surfaces (
110).
Storage
❍
If you do not intend to use the camcorder for a long time, store it in a place free of dust, in low
humidity, and at temperatures not higher than 86 ˚F (30 ˚C).
❍
After storage, check the functions of your camcorder to make sure that the camcorder is still working
properly.
