Disposal Maintenance/Others When you delete movies or initialize the built-in memory or memory card, only the file allocation table is altered and stored data is not physically erased. Take the necessary precautions when you dispose of the camcorder or memory card, for example by physically damaging it to prevent the leakage of private data. If giving the camcorder to another person, initialize the built-in memory using the [COMPL.INIT.] setting ( 33). Fill it up with unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again using the same method. This makes recovering the original recordings very difficult. Cleaning Camcorder Body • Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camcorder body. Never use chemically treated cloths or volatile solvents such as paint thinner. Lens and Instant AF Sensor If the lens surface or Instant AF sensor is dirty, the autofocus may not work properly. • Remove any dust or dirt particles using a non-aerosol type blower brush. • Use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth to gently wipe the lens. Never use tissue paper. LCD Screen • Clean the LCD screen using a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth. • Condensation may form on the surface of the screen when the temperature changes suddenly. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth. 115

Disposal
When you delete movies or initialize the
built-in memory or memory card, only
the file allocation table is altered and
stored data is not physically erased.
Take the necessary precautions when
you dispose of the camcorder or
memory card, for example by physically
damaging it to prevent the leakage of
private data.
If giving the camcorder to another
person, initialize the built-in memory
using the [COMPL.INIT.] setting (
33).
Fill it up with unimportant recordings,
and then initialize it again using the
same method. This makes recovering
the original recordings very difficult.
Cleaning

camcorder body. Never use
chemically treated cloths or volatile
solvents such as paint thinner.
Lens and Instant AF Sensor
If the lens surface or Instant AF sensor
is dirty, the autofocus may not work
properly.
• Remove any dust or dirt particles
using a non-aerosol type blower
brush.
• Use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth
to gently wipe the lens. Never use
tissue paper.
LCD Screen
• Clean the LCD screen using a clean,
soft lens-cleaning cloth.
• Condensation may form on the
