On using the camcorder
• Do not hold the camcorder by the following parts.
• The camcorder is not dustproofed,
dripproofed or waterproofed. See
“Maintenance and precautions” (p.136).
• To prevent discs from being broken or
recorded pictures from being lost, do not
do the following when either of the
respective lamps of the POWER switch
(p.24) or the ACCESS lamp (p.28) is on:
– to remove the battery pack or AC Adaptor
from the camcorder.
– to apply mechanical shock or vibration to
the camcorder.
• Before connecting your camcorder to
another device with a USB cable etc., be
sure to insert the connector plug in the
proper direction. If you insert the connector
plug forcibly in the wrong direction, the
terminal may be damaged, or this may
cause a malfunction of your camcorder.
Notes on the Setup items, LCD screen,
viewfinder, and lens
• A setup item that is grayed out is not
available under the current recording or
playback conditions.
• The LCD screen and the viewfinder are
manufactured using extremely high-
precision technology, so over 99.99% of the
pixels are operational for effective use.
However, there may be some tiny black
points and/or bright points (white, red, blue,
or green in color) that appear constantly on
the LCD screen and the viewfinder. These
points are normal.
• Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder,
or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods
of time may cause malfunctions. Be careful
when placing the camera near a window or
outdoors.
• Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause
your camcorder to malfunction. Take
pictures of the sun only in low light
conditions, such as at dusk.
