Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera

Before using the camera

rCaution regarding laser beams

The MOS sensor may be damaged if the MOS sensor is subjected to light from a laser beam.

Take sufcient care to prevent laser beams from striking the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used.

rNote the following points.

fWhen preparing to record important images, always shoot some advance test footage to verify that both pictures and sound are being recorded

normally.

fShould video or audio recording fail due to a malfunction of the camera or the P2 cards used, we will not assume liability for such failure.

rWhat to remember when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others

Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the camera or a computer will merely change the le management information: it will

not completely erase the data on the cards. When throwing these cards away or transferring them to others, either physically destroy them or use a

data deletion program for computers (commercially available) to completely erase the data. Users are responsible for managing the data stored in their

memory cards.
