Disposal
When you delete movies or initialize the
built-in memory (
/ only) or
memory card, only the file allocation
table is altered and stored data is not
physically erased. Take the necessary
precautions when you dispose of the
camcorder or memory card, for
example by physically damaging it to
prevent the leakage of private data.
/ If giving the camcorder to
another person, initialize the built-in
memory using the [COMPL.INIT.]
setting (
30), fill it up with
unimportant recordings, and then
initialize it again using the same
method. This makes recovering the
original recordings very difficult.
Cleaning
Camcorder Body
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the
camcorder body. Never use
chemically treated cloths or volatile
solvents such as paint thinner.
Lens
If the lens surface is dirty, the autofocus
may not work properly.
• Remove any dust or dirt particles
using a non-aerosol type blower
brush.
• Use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth
to gently wipe the lens. Never use
tissue paper.
LCD Screen
• Clean the LCD screen using a clean,
soft lens-cleaning cloth.
• Condensation may form on the
surface of the screen when the
temperature changes suddenly. Wipe
it with a soft dry cloth.
Condensation
Moving the camcorder rapidly between
hot and cold temperatures may cause
condensation (water droplets) to form
on its internal surfaces. Stop using the
camcorder if condensation is detected.
Continued use may damage the
camcorder.
