Make sure the battery pack is fully charged before starting to record.
To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
If your device is in Camcorder modes, and it is left in STBY mode without being operated for more than 5 minutes with a tape loaded, it will automatically turn itself off to protect against unnecessary battery discharge.
Make sure that the battery pack is attached firmly in place.
The new battery pack provided with the product is not charged. Before using the battery pack, you need to fully charge it.
Do not drop the battery pack. Dropping the battery pack may damage it.
It is a good idea to use the viewfinder rather than the LCD monitor when recording for long periods, because the LCD monitor consumes more battery power.
Fully discharging a Lithium-Ion battery damages the internal cells. The battery pack may be prone to leakage when fully discharged.
To avoid damage to the battery pack, make sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.
When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer. Batteries must be disposed of as chemical waste.
Be careful not to drop the battery pack when you release it from the camcorder. 1212 ENGLISH Notes and Safety Instructions Notes Regarding Video Head Cleaning
To ensure normal recording and a clear picture, clean the video heads regularly. If a square block-shaped distorts playback, or only a blue screen is displayed, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry type cleaning cassette.
Do not use a wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the video heads. Notes Regarding the Lens
Do not film with the camera lens pointing directly at the sun. Direct sunlight can damage the CCD (Charge Coupled Device, the imaging sensor). Notes Regarding the Electronic Viewfinder 1. Do not position the camcorder such that the viewfinder is pointing directly towards the sun. Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the viewfinder. Be careful when setting the camcorder in a sunny place or near a window exposed to sunlight. 2. Do not pick up the camcorder by holding the viewfinder. 3. Applying excessive force to the viewfinder may damage it. Notes Regarding Record or Playback Using the LCD 1. The LCD monitor has been manufactured using the high precision technology. However, there may be tiny dots (red, blue or green in color) that appear on the LCD monitor. These dots are normal and do not affect the recorded picture in any way. 2. When you use the LCD monitor under direct sunlight or outdoors, it maybe difficult to see the picture clearly. If this occurs, we recommend using the viewfinder. 3. Direct sunlight can damage the LCD monitor. 1313 ENGLISH Notes and Safety Instructions Notes Regarding the Hand Strap
To ensure a steady picture during filming, make sure that the hand strap is properly adjusted.
Do not force your hand into the hand strap as you could damage it. Precautions Regarding the Lithium Battery Cell 1. The Lithium battery maintains the clock function and user settings; even when the battery pack or AC adapter is removed. 2. The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 6 months under normal operation from the time of installation. 3. When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time indicator will flash for about five seconds when you set the Power Switch to REC (RECORD) mode. 1414 ENGLISH Getting to Know Your Device Features ENGLISH
