years

of

trouble-free

use,

please

read

this

instruction

manual

completely.

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.

with

a

moulded

plug

incorporating

a

fuse,

the

value

of

which

is

indicated

on

the

face

of

the

plug.

Should

the

fuse

need

to

be

replaced,

an

fuse

must

be

used

of

the

same

rat¬

ing.

If

the

cover

is

detachable

never

use

the

point,

then

obtain

an

appropriate

safety

approved

extension

lead

or

consult

your

dealer.

If

there

is

no

alternative

to

cutting

off

the

mains

plug,

ensure

that

you

dispose

of

it

immediately,

having

first

removed

the

fuse,

to

avoid

a

possible

shock

hazard

by

inadvertent

connection

to

the

mains

sup¬

ply.
