Before You Begin

 Be careful that no water, dust or sand enters the camcorder. 
 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 it in a place where the temperature exceeds 120° 

(49°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.
