PRECAUTIONS
For safety, strictly observe
the
following instructions.
•Do
not
disassemble or modify
the
unit.
•Prevent
inflammables, water and metallic objects
from entering the unit.
•Do
not
use the
unit
when there
is
lightning
in
the
vicinity. Disconnect
the
power cable of
connected
equipment.
Avoid using
the
unit
under
the
following conditions:
•Places
subject
to
excessive
humidity
or dust.
•Near
appliances generating strong magnetic or elec-
tric fields (speakers, broadcasting antennas, etc.).
•Places
subject
to
soot
or steam such
as
near a cook-
ing
stove.
•Places
subject
to
excessive shock or vibration.
•Near
a television
set
(rolling pictures or howling
might result).
•Extremely
hot
places.
Do
not
expose
the
unit
to
high
temperatures
over
40°C (104°F) for long periods.
If
the
unit
should be subjected
to
direct sunlight, or
left
in a closed car in summer, or placed near a heater,
the
CCD
and the auto-focus sensor may deteriorate
and
the
cabinet
may become deformed. Furthermore,
this also may cause the transistors and
other
elec-
tronic
and
mechanical parts
to
malfunction. Remem-
ber
the
following:
•Do
not
leave
the
unit
in
places of over
5D°C
( 122° F).
•Do
not
use the
unit
in
places of over 4D°C (1D4°F).
•Do
not
use the
unit
in
places
of
below
D°C
(32°F).
•Protect
the
unit
from excessively dry
or
excessively
humid
conditions
(below
35
%
or
above
80
%
humidity).
•For
long storage, select a place between
-1
D°C
(14°F)
and
3D°C (86°F).
Take special care
for
protection
of
the
unit.
•Do
not
allow the
unit
to
become wet.
•Do
not
leave
the
unit
in
closed cars on
hot
summer
days.
•Take
special care
not
to
drop
the
unit
or
strike
it
against hard objects.
Protect
from shocks during
transportation.
Make it a rule
to
observe
the
following instructions.
•Do
not
remove the
battery
pack or disconnect
other
power
supply units during recording or playback
before pressing
the
POWER switch
to
OFF
.
If
not
observed, this will cause tape damage.
•When
the
unit
is
not
in
use, remove
the
battery
pack.
Keep
the
lens and viewfinder eyepiece always clean.
•When
the lens
is
dirty or dusty, blow it off first and
then
gently wipe with a
soft
brush
or
lens cleaning
paper.
•The
lens
is
likely
to
become moldy if left dirty.
Be
careful
not
to
damage
the
CCD.
•Do
not
keep
the
lens directed
at
extremely
bright
objects such as the
sun
or
other
light sources for
long periods. Although
the
CCD
is
less susceptible
to
such burn than a
tube
would be,
caution
should
be exercised when using this unit. Most importantly,
the lens should be
capped
except
while actually
shooting.
•Do
not
direct the eyepiece of the viewfinder
atthe
sun.
Auto-focus requires a
bit
of
consideration.
•When
a filter
or
a special-effect lens
is
to
be
attached
to
the
end of the lens, be sure
to
turn
power off.
Handle
the
unit
carefully.
•Protect
the microphone from excessive shocks.
•Do
not
carry
the
unit
by holding it only by the
viewfinder.
