Cleaning the Viewfinder
Care and Maintenance
• Keep dust and grit from entering the
cassette door. They are abrasive and
cause excessive wear both to the
camcorder’s recording/playback heads
and cassettes.
• Always replace the lens cap on the lens
when the camcorder is not in use.
• When the camcorder is not in use,
always remove the cassette and AC
adapter/charger or battery.
• The camcorder can be damaged by
improper storage or handling. Do not
subject the camcorder to swinging,
shaking, or dropping.
• Do not touch the lens with your fingers.
The oil from your skin can damage the
lens. Use lens-cleaning tissue and
commercially prepared cleaning solu-
tion designed for use on camera lens.
Improper cleaning may scratch the lens.
• Before handling your camcorder, make
sure your hands and face are free from
any chemical products such as suntan
lotion, as it may damage the finish.
• Do not operate the camcorder for
extended periods in temperatures below
40°F (4°C) or above 95°F (35°C). Do
not store the camcorder in temperatures
below -22°F (-30°C) or above 149°F
(65°C).
• Do not operate the camcorder in
extremely humid environments.
• Do not aim your camcorder at the sun
or other bright objects.
• Do not leave your camcorder in direct
sunlight. Doing so could permanently
damage the camcorder’s internal parts.
