Precautions for Use
Caution regarding laser beams
The CCD may be damaged if it is subjected to light from a laser beam.
When using the camera-recorder in locations where laser irradiation equipment is used, be careful not to allow 
the laser beam to shine directly on the lens.
PLEASE NOTE: 
  When preparing to record important images, always shoot some advance test footage, to verify that both 
pictures and sound are being recorded normally.
  Should video or audio recording fail due to a malfunction of this camera-recorder or the P2 cards used, we 
will not assume liability for such failure.
Disposing and transferring ownership of memory card devices
Formatting or deleting a memory card device in this camera or a PC will only change file management data 
and leave data on the card intact. It is recommended that the card either be physically destroyed or that 
commercially sold software be used to completely delete any data on the card. Note that managing card data is 
the owner’s responsibility.
