or waterproofed.

of
the following when the

• When connecting your camcorder to another
device with a cable, be sure to insert the
connector plug in the correct
way.
Pushing the
plug forcibly into the terminal will damage the
terminal and may result in a malfunction
of
the
camcorder.
• If you repeat recording/deleting images for
a long time, fragmentation
of
data occurs on
the recording media. Images cannot be saved
or recorded. In such a case, save your images
on some type ofexternal media first, and then
perform [MEDIA FORMAT] (p. 36).
• The LCD screen
is
manufactured using
extremely high-precision technology, so over
99.99%
of
the pixels are operational for effective
use. However, there may be some tiny black
points and/or bright points (white, red, blue,
or
green in color) that appear constantly on the
LCD
screen. These points are normal results
of
the manufacturing process and do not affect the
recording in any
way.
On
recording
• Before starting to record, test the recording
function to make sure the image and sound are
recorded without any problems.
• Compensation for the contents ofrecordings
cannot
be
provided, even ifrecording or
playback
is
not possible due to a malfunction
of
the camcorder, recording media, etc.
• TV color systems differ depending on the
country/region.
To
view your recordings on a
TV,
you need an NTSC system-based
TV.
• Television programs, films, video tapes,
and other materials may be copyrighted.
Unauthorized recording
of
such materials may
be contrary to the copyright laws.
•
To
prevent your image data from being lost,
save all your recorded images on external media
periodically. It
is
recommended that you save
the image data on a disc such
as
a DVD-R using
your computer. Also, you can save your image
data using a DVD writer, VCR, or DVD/HDD
recorder.
About changing the language setting
• The on-screen displays in each local language
are used for illustrating the operating
procedures. Change the screen language before

(p.
