Cautions When Using
Handle the liquid crystal display (LCD) with care:
• The LCD is a very delicate display device: Do not press its surface with any
force, hit it, or puncture it with a sharp object.
• If you push the LCD surface, unevenness in the display may occur. If uneven-
ness does not disappear soon, turn the DVD camera/recorder off, wait for a
while, and then turn it on again.
• Do not place the DVD camera/recorder with the open LCD screen down.
• Close the LCD monitor when not using the DVD camera/recorder.
• Do not hold by the LCD monitor as this could cause a malfunction.
• Open the LCD monitor by 90º before changing its direction. If you attempt to
invert its direction before opening it completely, it could cause a malfunction.
• Do not disassemble the LCD monitor as this might cause a malfunction.
• When opening the LCD monitor, be careful that no water droplets adhere to the
monitor screen and that no water or dust enters the DVD camera/recorder as it
could cause a malfunction.
Liquid Crystal Display and viewfinder:
• The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel is made by highly precise technology. More
than 99.99% of its picture elements (pixels) are effecitive, but some (less than
0.01%) may appear as colored bright dots. This does not indicate a fault as the
LCD panel stretches the limits of current technology.
• The LCD screen and viewfinder will be slightly dimmer than usual when the
DVD camera/recorder is at low temperature, as in cold areas, or immediately
after power is turned on. The normal brightness will be restored when the tem-
perature inside the DVD camera/recorder rises.
Hold the DVD camera/recorder correctly:
Do not hold the viewfinder or LCD monitor when lifting the DVD camera/recorder: The
viewfinder or LCD monitor may become detached and the DVD camera/recorder could fall.
Do not subject the DVD camera/recorder to impact:
• This DVD camera/recorder is a precision machine: Take great care that you do
not strike it against a hard object or allow it to fall.
• Do not use the DVD camera/recorder on a tripod in a place where it is subject to
severe vibrations or impact.
