Precautions on camcorder care

•The viewfinder is manufactured using high-precision technology.

However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue,

green or white) that constantly appear in the viewfinder.

These points occur normally in the manufacturing process and do not affect the

recorded picture in any way.

Effective ratio of pixels and/or screen are 99.99% or more.

•Do not let your camcorder get wet. Keep your camcorder away from rain and sea

water. Letting your camcorder get wet may cause your camcorder to malfunction.

Sometimes this malfunction cannot be repaired [a].

•Never leave your camcorder exposed to temperatures above 140°F (60°C ), such as in a

car parked in the sun or under direct sunlight [b].

•Do not place your camcorder so as to point the viewfinder toward the sun. The inside

of the viewfinder may be damaged [c].
