Wash off any liquid that may have contacted

your skin.

If any liquid gets in your eyes, wash with

plenty of water and consult a doctor.

On the drop sensor (HDR-PJ600/
PJ600V/XR260V)

To protect the internal hard disk from shock

by dropping, the camcorder has a drop sensor

function (p. 69). When a drop occurs, or

under a non-gravity condition, the block noise

made when this function is activated by the

camcorder may also be recorded. If the drop

sensor catches a drop repeatedly, recording/

playback may be stopped.

Note on using the camcorder at
high altitudes (HDR-PJ600/PJ600V/
XR260V)

Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure

area, where the altitude is more than 5,000

meters (16,000 feet). Doing so may damage the

internal hard disk drive of your camcorder.

When not using your camcorder for a
long time

To keep your camcorder in optimum state for a

long time, turn it on and let it run by recording

and playing back images about once a month.

Use up the battery pack completely before

storing it.

Note on the camcorder/battery pack
temperature

When the temperature of the camcorder

or battery pack becomes extremely high or

extremely low, you may not be able to record

or play back on the camcorder, due to the

protection features of the camcorder being

activated in such situations. In this case, an

indicator appears on the LCD screen.

Notes on charging through the USB
cable

Operation with all computers is not assured.

If you connect the camcorder to a laptop

computer that is not connected to a power

source, the battery of the laptop computer will

continue to use up its charge. Do not leave the

camcorder connected to a computer in this

manner.

Charging with a personally assembled

computer, with a converted computer, or

through a USB hub are not guaranteed.

The camcorder may not function correctly

depending on the USB device which is used

with the computer.

Moisture condensation

If your camcorder is brought directly from

a cold place to a warm place, moisture may

condense inside your camcorder. This may

cause a malfunction to your camcorder.

If moisture condensation has occurred

Leave your camcorder for about 1 hour without

turning it on.

Note on moisture condensation

Moisture may condense when you bring your

camcorder from a cold place into a warm place

(or vice versa) or when you use your camcorder

in a humid place as follows:

You bring your camcorder from a ski slope

into a place warmed up by a heating device.

You bring your camcorder from an air

conditioned car or room into a hot place

outside.

You use your camcorder after a squall or a

rain.

You use your camcorder in a hot and humid

place.
