PRECAUTIONS
Condensation
Condensation is the moisture that forms on the outside of
a glass when you fill it with cold water.
Your camcorder incorporates a special safety device to
avoid damage to the unit and to protect the internal
mechanisms and tape when condensation is detected
inside the unit.
Conditions where condensation might appear
@ |f the camcorder is suddenly moved from a cold place
to a warm, humid one, or vice versa.
@ |f a heater has been turned on to quickly heat the room,
or if the level of humidity is high.
@ if taken from an air conditioned room, or car to a hot
humid place.
Condensation warning indicator
@ If condensation is detected inside the camcorder, the
warning indicator illustrated below (A) will flash in the
viewfinder.
As condensation may also appear inside the cassette
casing, the warning indicator (B) might also flash when
the cassette is loaded. When one of those indicators is
displayed, the controls will be inoperative, except to
unload the cassette. In such a case, eject the cassette
and wait for 1- 2 hours for the condensation to dry up.
The time required to completely eliminate condensation
may vary according to conditions.
@ The first sign of condensation is fogging of the
camcorder lens and viewfinder. As condensation may
not have yet reached the inside of the camcorder the
warning indicators will not appear. To stop the formation
of condensation, wrap the camcorder in a cloth until the
fogging on the lens and in the viewfinder disappears.
To prevent formation of condensation
In places like ski slopes, where the camcorder is subject
to temperature variations, place the camcorder in a
plastic bag before using it outside. When bringing back
the camcorder indoors, leave it in the plastic bag for
about one hour.
ENGLISH
DO NOT OPEN THE CAMCORDER CASING
- @Do not allow rain, steam, dew, salt water, sand, oily
smoke, metal objects, etc. to enter the unit.
@ Do not let direct sunlight or strong light hit directly on
the lens or the viewfinder, as that may cause damage to
the unit.
@ If you notice anything unusual (smoke, strange noise or
odour, etc.), stop using the unit and switch it off
immediately. Consult the dealer where the unit was
purchased, or contact an authorized service centre.
Precautions during recording or playback
@ Do not wrap the camcorder in a cloth, as the
temperature inside will raise and damage the unit.
@ Do not approach the camcorder to magnets, or
magnetic fields as they may damage the recordings on
the tape.
@ Do not approach the camcorder to transmitting
antennas, as this might cause the unit to malfunction.
@ Do not use the unit for monitoring. If the unit is used to
record the same subject for a long time (e.g. for
surveillance), the picture quality will deteriorate.
Storage

@ where it will be subject to direct sunlight (e.g. on a car
dashboard, etc.),
@ near bright light sources, or where the humidity level is
high,
@ in a closed car on warm or hot days, or close to a heat
source (e.g. heater, stove, etc.),
