Precautions

•Before recording an important scene,

please perform the recording test, then

playback to check if the scene was re-

corded properly.

If noise occurs, use a commercially avail-

able cleaning tape to clean the video

heads. (See page viii.)

•When the camcorder is not in use, remem-

ber to remove the cassette tape, turn off

the power, and disconnect the camcorder

from the power source.

•Do not aim the lens at the sun.

Do not allow direct sunlight to strike the

camcorder lens or LCD monitor screen,

whether or not recording is in progress, as it

may damage the CCD sensor or LCD screen

surface. Be particularly careful when record-

ing outside.

•Avoid magnetic sources.

Using the camcorder near

strong fluorescent lights,

motors, televisions, or other

magnetic sources may ad-

versely affect recorded im-

ages.

•Using the camcorder near a broadcasting

station or other powerful transmission

source may cause buzzing or picture dete-

rioration.

•Avoid shocks and drop-

ping.

Do not drop or otherwise

subject the camcorder to

hard shocks or strong vibra-

tions. Bumping or striking the

unit during recording will

generate noise in the re-

corded image.

•Avoid placing the

camcorder in close

proximity to lighting

equipment.

The heat from incan-

descent lights may de-

form the camcorder, or

cause it to malfunction.

•Always respect prohibitions or restrictions

on the use of electronic equipment on

commercial flights or in other sensitive ar-

eas.

•Be aware of the temperature and humidity.

You can use your camcorder at 0°C to

L40°C, and at 30% to 80% relative humidity.

Do not store the unit in

an unventilated car in

the summer, in direct

sunlight, or near strong

heat sources; this can

result in severe damage

to the unit casing and

circuitry.

•Avoid situations where water, sand, dust or

other foreign matter could get on or inside

the camcorder, and do not use or leave

your camcorder in areas with excessive

smoke, steam or moisture.

Such environments can cause malfunctions

or cause mil-

dew to form on

the lenses. Be

sure to keep the

unit in a well-

ventilated loca-

tion.

•Some small, portable tri-

pods may be difficult to at-

tach and may not be sturdy

enough to support your

camcorder. Be sure to use

only a strong, stable tripod.

•When using your

camcorder in a cold envi-

ronment, the LCD monitor screen often ap-

pears less bright immediately after the

power is turned on. This is not a malfunc-

tion. To prevent the camcorder from be-

coming too cold, wrap it in a thick cloth (a

blanket, etc.).

Dew Formation

•What is “dew formation”?

When cold water is poured into a glass, dew

drops form on the glass. This clinging of

water drops is called dew formation.

•When dew forms in your camcorder.

Dew will gradually form on the head drum of

your camcorder and make the video tape

stick to the head. This causes damage both

to the head and the tape. When dew forms,

recording and playback may not function

properly.

Dew is likely to form in the following circum-

stances:

—When moving the camcorder from a cold

place to a warm place.

—When placing the camcorder in a cold

room which is then heated rapidly.

—When moving the camcorder outdoors from

an air conditioned room or car.

—When placing the

camcorder in the direct

path of air blowing from

an air conditioner.

—When placing the

camcorder in a humid

room.

•“Dew” warning feature

If dew forms, the word “DEW” flashes on the

screen, and the power will automatically turn

off in approximately 10 seconds.

1If “DEW” flashes, remove the cassette,

leave the cassette compartment open, and

wait for a few hours to allow the camcorder

to acclimatize to the surrounding tempera-

ture.

2To use the camcorder again, turn on the

power after waiting for a few hours. Be sure

that “DEW” has disappeared.

3Do not insert a cassette while “DEW” is

flashing; this may result in damage to the

tape.

4Since dew forms gradually, it may take 10

to 15 minutes before the dew warning

feature engages.

•How to prevent trouble.

When using the camcorder in a place where

dew is likely to form, allow the camcorder and

the video tape to acclimatize to the surround-

ings for about one hour.

For example, when bringing the camcorder

indoors after skiing, place it in a plastic bag.

1Be sure to tightly seal the plastic bag

containing the camcorder.

2Remove the bag when the air temperature

inside it reaches the temperature of the

room.

Dirty Video Heads

When the video heads have become clogged

with dirt (dust and tape coating particles),

• mosaic-like noise appears on the playback

blue.

Using a Cleaning Tape (Commercially

Available)

Available mode:

Tape Playback

You can clean the video head with a commer-

cially available cleaning tape.

Notes:

•Excessive use of the cleaning tape may cause

damage to the video heads. Please read the

instructions accompanying the cleaning tape

carefully before using it.

• The fast forward and rewind functions cannot be

used when the cleaning tape is in the

camcorder.

• If the video heads again become clogged with

dirt soon after cleaning, this might be caused by

a damaged tape. In this case, stop using that

cassette immediately.

1Insert a cleaning tape into the

camcorder.

2Set the camcorder to Tape Playback

mode.

• The video head cleaning screen

appears.

3Press mon the Operation button to

begin video head cleaning.

To cancel cleaning, press l.

Causes of video head clogging

• High-temperature and high-humidity environ-

ment

• A lot of dust in the air

• Damaged tape

• Worn tape

• Long-time use

• Dew formation

If the video heads become clogged, the

vindicator appears on the screen. Contact

the nearest SHARP service centre or your

dealer for further advice.
