PRECAUTIONS

Any problems that occur as a result of any of the following conditions will not be covered

by our warranty.

 Be careful that no water, dust, or sand enters the camcorder.

 When you are not using the camcorder, switch off the power and attach the lens cap.

 When you shoot at a scene which contains an extremely bright object such as the the

sun or a light source, a bright vertical bar may appear in the picture.

Your camcorder is functioning properly, but the solid-state pickup device (CCD) usually

causes this as an inherent characteristic. Try to avoid shooting an excessive bright

object directly.

 Be sure not to leave the camcorder in a place where the temperature exceeds 140

deg. F (60 deg. C), or the pickup device may be damaged.

Dangerous includes:

 Do not point the electronic viewfinder to direct sunlight; it could damage the

viewfinder.

 The liquid crystal display (LCD) panel is made by highly precise technology. More

than 99.99% of its picture elements (pixels) are effective, but some (less than 0.01%)

may not appear as coloured bright dots. This does not indicate a fault as the LCD panel

stretches the limits of current technology. (for VM-2800A/VM-3800A)
