Memory Stick Duo Adaptor
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. 119).
• To prevent the hard disk from being
broken or recorded images from being
lost, do not do the following when either
of the respective lamps of the POWER
switch (p. 32) or the ACCESS lamp
(p. 36) is on:
– to remove the battery pack or AC
Adaptor from the camcorder.
– to apply mechanical shock or vibration to
the camcorder.
• When connecting your camcorder to
another device with an HDMI cable, a
component video cable, or a USB 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.
About menu items, LCD panel,
viewfinder, and lens
• A menu 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
results of the manufacturing process and
do not affect the recording in any way.
• Exposing the LCD screen, the viewfinder,
or the lens to direct sunlight for long
periods of time may cause malfunctions.
• Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might
cause your camcorder to malfunction.
Take images of the sun only in low light
conditions, such as at dusk.
On recording
• Before starting to record, test the
recording function to make sure the image
and sound are recorded without any
problems.
• Compensation for the contents of
recordings cannot be provided, even if
recording or playback is not possible due
to a malfunction of the camcorder, storage
media, etc.
