Be careful of moisture condensation:
When you move the DVD video camera/recorder between places where the difference in 
temperatures is great – such as entering a lodge from a ski slope or going out of a cooled room or 
vehicle – condensation (vapour in air warmed or cooled to water droplets) could occur on the lens 
and/or inside the DVD video camera/recorder. If condensation occurs, do not open the cover of 
disc or card insertion block if possible. If condensation occurs on the lens, wipe it off with a soft, 
dry cloth. Even if the external surface of DVD video camera/recorder has dried, condensation may 
remain inside: Turn the DVD video camera/recorder off and leave it in a dry place for at least 1 – 2 
hours before using it again.
Do not use the DVD video camera/recorder for a long uninterrupted period of time:
This DVD video camera/recorder cannot be used for a long time continuously as a surveillance 
camera/monitor. If you use it for a long continuous period of time, the temperature of DVD video 
camera/recorder could exceed the limit and the recording/playback operation may slow down or 
other faults could occur. If this happens, turn it off and wait for a while before using it again.
Do not turn the DVD video camera/recorder off while the ACCESS/PC indicator or 
CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or blinking:
The ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or 
blinking to show that data is being written to disc or card, 
or being read from it. At this time, do not do any of the 
following, so as not to damage the data:
− Remove battery
− Disconnect AC adapter/charger
− Plug or unplug PC connection cable
− Remove disc or card
− Subject DVD video camera/recorder to severe 
vibrations or impact.
− Violently open or close the LCD monitor
If you turn the DVD video camera/recorder off while the 
ACCESS/PC or CARD ACCESS indicator is lit or blinking, 
turn it on again with the disc or card loaded in it: Repair of 
the disc or card will be executed automatically (see 
page 157).
