Hitachi Hi8 VM-H70E User Manual

PRECAUTION
■ No water, dust or sand
Be careful that no water, dust or sand enters
the camera/recorder because it may cause
trouble and accidents.
■ Do not leave the viewfinder lens facing sun¬
light for a prolonged period, or the phos¬
phorescent surface of the cathode ray tube or
the liquid crystal display (LCD) panel may be
damaged.
■ When you shoot at a scene which contains an
extremely bright object such as the sun or a
light source, a bright vertical bar may appear
in the picture.
Your camera/recorder is functioning properly,
but the solid-state pickup device (C.C.D)
usually causes this as an inherent character¬
istic. Try to avoid shooting an excessive bright
object directly.
■ The liquid crystal display (LCD) panel is made
by highly precise technology. More than
99.99% of its picture elements (pixels) are
effective, but some (less than 0.01%) may
appear as coloured bright dots. This does not
indicate a fault as the LCD panel stretches the
limits of current technology, (only for VM-
H71E)
MOISTURE
Avoid operating your camera/recorder
immediately after moving it from a cold
place to a warm, humid place. Give the
camera/recorder 2 to 3 hours to stabilize in
the ambient conditions of the surroundings
before inserting a cassette. When moved
from a cold place to a warm, humid place,
moisture may condense on the head drum
inside the machine. This moisture could
cause the tape to stick to the headwheel
and damage the headwheel or tape.
When moisture is detected, the camera/
recorder ejects the tape automatically to
protect it, so the camera/recorder cannot be
operated. When a small amount of moist¬
ure is sensed, "TAPE" flashes in the
viewfinder and the camera/recorder cannot
accept any operations other than eject.
Remove the cassette and set the OPERATE
switch to OFF, then wait for about one hour.
