Please rotate the LCD screen carefully as illustrated.
Unintended rotation may cause damage to the inside of the
hinge that connects the LCD screen to the Camcorder.
1) LCD screen closed.
2) Standard recording by using the LCD screen.
3) Making a recording by looking at the LCD screen from the top.
4) Making a recording by looking at the LCD screen from the front.

1) Do not place the camcorder so that the
viewfinder is pointing towards the sun.
Direct sunlight can damage the inside of the
viewfinder. Be careful when placing the
camcorder under sunlight or by a window.
2) Do not pick up the camcorder by the viewfinder.
3) Unintended rotation may cause damage to the
viewfinder.
1) A sudden rise in atmospheric temperature may cause condensation to
form inside the camcorder.
for example:
When you take the camcorder from cold temperature outside to
warm temperature inside during the winter.
When you take the camcorder from cool temperature inside to
hot temperature outside during the summer.
2) If the “DEW” protection feature is activated, leave the camcorder in a
dry, warm room with the cassette compartment opened and the battery
removed.
3) If the “DEW” protection feature is activated unexpectedly,
and you want to override it, detach, then reinstall the battery pack
and lithium battery.
Please make sure that the condensation has disappeared
completely. (see page 71)

Notices regarding the battery pack
ENGLISH

Make sure that the battery pack is charged before recording outdoors.
To preserve battery power, keep your camcorder turned off when you are not operating it.
When your camcorder is in CAMERA mode, if it is left in STANDBY for more than 5 minutes without operation,
it will automatically turn off to protect against unexpected battery discharge.
It is a good idea to use the viewfinder instead of the LCD when recording for a long time because the LCD uses
more battery power.
Make sure that the battery pack is fitted firmly into place.
Dropping the battery pack might damage it.
When the battery reaches the end of its life, please contact your local dealer.
The batteries have to be dealt with as chemical waste.
W
arning: Keep the LITHIUM BATTERY out of the reach of children. Should the battery be swallowed,
consult a doctor immediately.
The lithium battery maintains the clock function, TITLE, CUSTOM function and preset contents memory;
even if the battery pack or AC power adapter is removed.
The lithium battery for the camcorder lasts about 8~10 months under normal operation from time of installation.
When the lithium battery becomes weak or dead, the date/time indicator flashes about 5 seconds when
you set the power switch to CAMERA. In this case, replace the lithium battery with type CR2025. (see page 21)
Notices regarding the Lithium battery
* When the lithium battery
becomes weak or dead please
contact your local dealer. The
batteries have to be dealt with
as chemical waste.

1) The LCD monitor is manufactured by using high precision technology.
However, there may be some tiny specks (red, blue or green in color)
that appear on the LCD monitor. These specks are normal and do not
affect the recorded picture in any way.
2) When using the LCD monitor outdoors in direct sunlight,
it may be difficult to view. If this occurs, use the viewfinder.
3) The LCD monitor's OSD is turned off when the LCD is placed in the
forward direction.
To protect against tape and head-drum wear, your camcorder will automatically turn off if it is left in STANDBY
mode without operation for more than 5 minutes.
5 minutes off timer in STANDBY mode
It is very important to adjust the hand strap for better recording.
(see page 20)
Do not insert your hand in the hand strap forcibly,
the buckle may be damaged.
Notices regarding the hand strap
To ensure normal recording and clear picture, clean the video heads. When playing back the pictures,
if they are noisy or hardly visible, the video heads may be dirty. If this happens, clean the video heads with a dry
type cassette cleaner.
Do not use a wet type cassette cleaner. It may damage the video heads. (see page 66)
