• To prevent the hard disk from being broken or

recorded images from being lost, do not do the

following when either of the respective lamps of

the POWER switch (p.9) or the access lamp* is on:

–to remove the battery pack or AC Adaptor from

the camcorder.

– to apply mechanical shock or vibration to the

camcorder.

On recording

• Before starting to record, test the recording

function to make sure the image and sound are

recorded without any problems.

• Compensation for the contents of recordings

cannot be provided, even if recording or playback

is not possible due to a malfunction of the

camcorder, recording media, etc.

• TV color systems differ depending on the

countries/regions. To view your recordings on a

TV, you need a PAL system-based TV.

• Television programs, films, video tapes, and other

materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized

recording of such materials may be contrary to

the copyright laws.

Save all your recorded image data

• To prevent your image data from being lost, save

all your recorded images on external media. It is

recommended that you save the image data on a

disc such as DVD-R using your computer*. Also,

you can save your image data using a VCR, or a

DVD/HDD recorder*.

• It is recommended that you save your image data

periodically, after recording.

Do not apply shock or vibration to your

camcorder

• The hard disk of the camcorder may not be

recognized, or recording or playback may not be

possible.

On the drop sensor

• To protect the internal hard disk from the shock

by dropping, the camcorder has the drop sensor

function*. When a drop occurs, or under a non-

gravity condition, the block noise to protect the

camcorder may also be recorded. If the drop

sensor catches a drop repeatedly, recording/play

back may be stopped.

Note on operational temperatures

• When the temperature of the camcorder becomes

extremely high or extremely low, you may not be

able to record or play back on the camcorder, due

to the protection features of the camcorder being

activated in such situations. In this case, an

indicator appears on the LCD screen (p.28).

When the camcorder is connected to a

computer

• Do not try to format the hard disk of the camcorder

using a computer. If you do so, your camcorder

may not operate correctly.

Note on using the camcorder at high

altitudes

• Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure

area, where the altitude is more than 3,000 meters

(9,800 feet). Doing so may damage the hard disk

drive of your camcorder.

Note on disposal/transfer

• If you perform [ FORMAT]* or formatting the

hard disk of the camcorder, you may not delete

data from the hard disk completely. When you

transfer the camcorder, it is recommended that

you perform [ EMPTY]* to prevent the

recovery of your data.

In addition to the above, when you dispose of the

camcorder, it is recommended that you destroy

the actual body of the camcorder.

About language setting

• The on-screen displays in each local language are

used for illustrating the operating procedures.

Change the screen language before using your

camcorder if necessary (p.9).
