• Avoid rough handling, disassembling,

modifying, physical shock, or impact such as

hammering, dropping or stepping on the

product. Be particularly careful of the lens.

• Keep the POWER switch setting to OFF (CHG)

when you are not using your camcorder.

• Do not wrap your camcorder with a towel, for

example, and operate it. Doing so might cause

heat to build up inside.

• When disconnecting the power cord (mains

lead), pull it by the plug and not the cord.

• Do not damage the power cord (mains lead)

such as by placing anything heavy on it.

• Keep metal contacts clean.

• Keep the Remote Commander and button-type

battery out of children’s reach. If the battery is

accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor

immediately.

• If the battery electrolytic liquid has leaked,

– consult your local authorized Sony service

facility.

– wash off any liquid that may have contacted

your skin.

– if any liquid gets in your eyes, wash with

plenty of water and consult a doctor.

x When not using your camcorder for a

long time

• Periodically turn on the camcorder and play a

cassette for about 3 minutes.

• Use up the battery pack completely before

storing it.

Moisture condensation

If your camcorder is brought directly from a

cold place to a warm place, moisture may

condense inside your camcorder, on the

surface of the tape, or on the lens. In this

state, the tape may stick to the head drum

and be damaged or your camcorder may not

operate correctly. If there is moisture inside

your camcorder, [%Z Moisture

condensation. Eject the cassette] or [%

Moisture condensation. Turn off for 1H.]

appears. The indicator will not appear when

the moisture condenses on the lens.

x If moisture condensation has occurred

None of the functions except cassette

ejection will work. Eject the cassette, turn

off your camcorder, and leave it for about

one hour with the cassette lid open. Your

camcorder can be used again when both of

the following conditions are met:

• The warning message does not appear when the

power is turned on.

• Neither % or Z flash when a cassette is inserted

and video operation buttons are touched.

If moisture starts to condense, your

camcorder sometimes cannot detect

condensation. If this happens, the cassette is

sometimes not ejected for 10 seconds after

the cassette lid is opened. This is not a

malfunction. Do not close the cassette lid

until the cassette is ejected.

x Note on moisture condensation

Moisture may condense when you bring

your camcorder from a cold place into a

warm place (or vice versa) or when you use

your camcorder in a humid place as shown

below.

• When you bring your camcorder from a ski

slope into a place warmed up by a heating

device.

• When you bring your camcorder from an air

conditioned car or room into a hot place outside.

• When you use your camcorder after a squall or a

shower.

• When you use your camcorder in a hot and

humid place.

x How to avoid moisture condensation

When you bring your camcorder from a

cold place into a warm place, put your

camcorder in a plastic bag and seal it

tightly. Remove the bag when the air

temperature inside the plastic bag has

reached the surrounding temperature (after

about one hour).
