lens. This may cause a malfunction to your

about an hour.
 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.
On use and care
• Do not use or store the camcorder and
accessories in the following locations.

them exposed to temperatures above 60°C
(140°F), such as under direct sunlight, near
heaters or in a car parked in the sun. They
may malfunction or become deformed.

vibration. The camcorder may malfunction.
– Near strong radio waves or radiation.
The camcorder may not be able to record
properly.
– Near AM receivers and video equipment.
Noise may occur.
– On a sandy beach or anywhere dusty. If
sand or dust gets in your camcorder, it may
malfunction. Sometimes this malfunction
cannot be repaired.
– Near windows or outdoors, where the LCD
screen, the viewfinder, or the lens may be
exposed to direct sunlight. This damages the
inside of the viewfinder or the LCD screen.

from rain or sea water. If your camcorder

casing, unplug your camcorder and have it
checked by a Sony dealer before operating it
any further.
