Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with
care:
• The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do
not press its surface with any force, hit it, or
puncture it with a sharp object.
• If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in the
display may occur. If unevenness does not dis-
appear soon, turn the DVD video camera/re-
corder off, wait for a while, and then turn it on
again.
• Do not place the DVD video camera/recorder
with the open LCD screen down.
• Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD
video camera/recorder.
• Do not hold by the LCD monitor as this could
cause a malfunction.
• Open the LCD monitor by 90° before changing
its direction. If you attempt to invert its direc-
tion before opening it completely, it could cause
a malfunction.
• Do not disassemble the LCD monitor as this
might cause a malfunction.
• When opening the LCD monitor, be careful that
no water droplets adhere to the monitor screen
and that no water or dust enters the DVD video
camera/recorder as it could cause a malfunction.
Liquid Crystal Display and viewfinder:
• The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly
dimmer than usual when the DVD video cam-
era/recorder is at low temperature, as in cold
areas, or immediately after power is turned on.
The normal brightness will be restored when the
temperature inside the DVD video camera/re-
corder rises.
Hold the DVD video camera/recorder
correctly:
• Do not hold the viewfinder or LCD monitor
when lifting the DVD video camera/recorder:
The viewfinder or LCD monitor may become
detached and the DVD video camera/recorder
could fall.
Cautions When Using
Do not subject the DVD video camera/
recorder to impact:
• This DVD video camera/recorder is a precision
machine: Take great care that you do not strike
it against a hard object or allow it to fall.
• Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder on
a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe
vibrations or impact.
No sand or dust!
• Fine sand or dust entering the DVD video cam-
era/recorder or AC adapter could cause it to
malfunction.
No water or oil!
• Water or oil entering the DVD video camera/
recorder or AC adapter could cause a short-cir-
cuit or other malfunctions.
Heat on surface of product:
• The surface of the DVD video camera/recorder
will be slightly warm, but this does not indicate
a fault. Be careful when touching the bottom of
the DVD video camera/recorder, since it will be
hot.
Be careful of ambient temperature:
• Using the DVD video camera/recorder in a place
where the temperature is over 104 °F (40 °C) or
under 32 °F (0 °C) will not allow it to make nor-
mal recording/playback.
• When using the DVD video camera/recorder
connected to PC, operate it at room temperature.
If you use the DVD video camera/recorder
where the temperature is high for an extended
period of time, it will overheat and may not op-
erate normally.
• Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder
in a closed vehicle where the temperature is very
high for a long time: This could cause malfunc-
tions.
Do not point directly at the sun:
• If direct sunlight strikes the lens or viewfinder,
the DVD video camera/recorder could malfunc-
tion or burn in CCD or viewfinder.
• Do not leave the DVD video camera/recorder
with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight:
This could cause malfunctions.
