Check the functions of the camcorder before
setting out for a shooting session, preferably by
recording and playing back video and audio
signals.
Use a dust blower to clean the lens, the LCD
screen, and mirror inside the viewfinder barrel.
Note
Never use organic solvents such as thinners.
The battery terminal of this unit (the connector for
battery packs and AC adaptors) is a consumable
part.
Power may not be supplied to the unit properly if
the pins of the battery terminal are bent or
deformed by shock or vibrations, or if they
become corroded due to prolonged outdoor use.
Periodic inspections are recommended to keep
the unit working properly and to prolong its
usable lifetime.
Contact a Sony service or sales representative for
more information about inspections.
