Hitachi VM-E535LE 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.
■ 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.
■ Do not leave the viewfinder lens and the liquid
crystal facing sunlight for a prolonged period,
or the phosphorescent surface of the cathode
ray tube and the LCD panel may be damaged.
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.
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 a small amount of moisture is
sensed, "TAPE" flashes in the viewfinder or
LCD monitor. Remove the cassette and set
the CAM/OFFA/IDEO switch to OFF, then
wait for about one hour.
