Before You Begin 

- 11 - 

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 camcorder and all accessories. 
 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 camcorder 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 the camcorder in a place where the temperature exceeds 140°F (60°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.
