About the Camcorder
≥When the Camcorder is used for a long time, 
the Camcorder body becomes warm, but this is 
not a malfunction.
Keep the Camcorder away from magnetized 
equipment such as a cellular phones, 
microwave ovens, TVs, and video game 
equipment.
≥If you use the Camcorder on or near a TV, 
images or sounds may be disturbed due to 
electromagnetic wave radiation.
≥Recordings on the tape may be damaged, or 
images may be distorted, by strong magnetic 
fields created by speakers or large motors.
≥Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by 
digital circuits including microprocessor may 
adversely affect the Camcorder, causing the 
disturbance of images and sounds.
≥If the Camcorder is affected by such equipment 
and does not function properly, turn off the 
Camcorder power and detach the battery or AC 
adaptor. Then, connect the battery or AC 
adaptor again and turn on the Camcorder 
power.
Do not use your Camcorder near radio 
transmitters or high-voltage cables.
≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or 
high-voltage cables, recorded images or sounds 
may be adversely affected.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile 
chemicals onto the Camcorder.
≥If the Camcorder is sprayed with such 
chemicals, the Camcorder body may become 
deformed and the surface finish may peel off.
≥Do not keep rubber or plastic products in 
contact with the Camcorder for a long time.
When you use your Camcorder in a sandy or 
dusty place such as on a beach, do not let 
sand or fine dust get into the body and 
terminals of the Camcorder. Also, protect the 
Camcorder from getting wet.
≥Sand or dust may damage the Camcorder or 
cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting 
and removing a cassette.) 
≥If sea water splashes onto the Camcorder, wet 
a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use 
it to wipe the Camcorder body carefully. Then, 
wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
While carrying the Camcorder, do not drop or 
bump it.
≥A strong impact on the Camcorder may break its 
housing, causing it to malfunction.
Do not use benzine, paint thinner or alcohol 
for cleaning the Camcorder.
≥Before cleaning, detach the battery or pull out 
the AC mains lead from the AC mains socket.
≥The Camcorder body may be discoloured and 
the surface finish may peel off.
≥Wipe the Camcorder with a soft dry cloth to 
remove dust and fingerprints. To remove 
stubborn stains, wring well a cloth that is soaked 
in a neutral detergent diluted with water and 
wipe the Camcorder with it. Afterwards, wipe it 
with a dry cloth.
≥When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the 
instructions.
Do not use this Camcorder for surveillance 
purposes or other business use.
≥If you use the Camcorder for a long time, the 
internal temperature increases and, 
consequently, this may cause malfunction.
≥This Camcorder is not intended for business 
use.
About the flash
≥Since there are high-voltage sections inside the 
flash, do not disassemble it to avoid electric 
shock.
ª
About the battery
The battery used in the Camcorder is a 
rechargeable lithium ion battery. This battery is 
susceptible to temperature and humidity, and the 
effect of temperature increases with increasing or 
decreasing temperature. In the low temperature 
range, the fully charged indication may not 
appear, or the low battery indication may appear 
about 5 minutes after the start of use. At high 
temperature, moreover, the protection function 
may work, disabling use of the Camcorder.
Be sure to detach the battery after use
≥If the battery is left attached to the Camcorder, a 
minute amount of current is consumed even 
when the Camcorder power is [OFF]. If the 
battery is left attached to the Camcorder for a 
long time, over-discharge takes place. The 
battery may become unusable after it is 
charged.
Prepare spare batteries when going out for 
recording.
≥Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4 times the 
period during you want to record pictures in. In 
cold places such as a ski resort, the period 
during which you can record pictures is 
shortened. 
≥When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC 
adaptor so that you can recharge the batteries 
at your destination.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to 
see if the terminals are deformed.
≥Attaching a deformed battery to the Camcorder 
or AC adaptor may damage the Camcorder or 
AC adaptor.
