Before You Begin
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 camera/recorder.
When you shoot at a scene which contains an extremely bright object
such as the sun or a light source, a bright vertical bar may appear in the
picture.
Your camera/recorder is functioning properly, but the solid-state pickup
device (C.C.D.) usually causes this as an inherent characteristic. Try to
avoid shooting an excessive bright object directly.
Be sure not to leave it in a place where the temperature exceeds 120°
(49°C), or the pickup device may be damaged.
Dangerous includes:
Inside a car with the windows closed and in direct sunshine.
Near heating appliances.
Do not leave the viewfinder lens facing sunlight for a prolonged period,
or the phosphorescent surface of the cathode ray tube or the liquid crystal
display (LCD) panel may be damaged.
