• Use the camcorder within its operating temperature range. If the camcorder's temperature becomes too hot or too cold, recording/ playback may stop in order to prevent hard disk damage. In such case, a warning will appear on the screen. • Do not use the camcorder at high altitudes. To prevent hard disk damage, do not turn on or use the camcorder at altitudes higher than 3,000 m (9,800 ft.) above sea level or in other places with low atmospheric pressure. • Initialize the hard disk when movies cannot be recorded/played back normally. As movies are recorded and deleted over time, hard disk fragmentation may occur, which may reduce performance. Initialize the hard disk should this happen ( 33). When you initialize the hard disk, all recordings will be erased. Before doing so, back up important recordings using an external device. • Do not carry the camcorder by the LCD panel or the viewfinder ( only). Be careful when closing the LCD panel. • Do not leave the camcorder in places subject to high temperatures (like the inside of a car under direct sunlight), or high humidity. • Do not use the camcorder near strong electromagnetic fields such as above TVs, near plasma TVs or mobile phones. • Do not point the lens or viewfinder ( only) at strong light sources. Do not leave the camcorder pointed at a bright subject. • Do not use or store the camcorder in dusty or sandy places. The camcorder is not waterproof - avoid also water, mud or salt. If any of the above should get into the camcorder it may damage the camcorder and/or the lens. • Be careful of heat generated by lighting equipment. • Do not disassemble the camcorder. If the camcorder does not function properly, consult qualified service personnel. • Handle the camcorder with care. Do not subject the camcorder to shocks or vibrations as this may cause damage. • When mounting the camcorder on a tripod, make sure that the tripod's fastening screw is shorter than 5.5 mm (0.2 in.). Using other tripods may damage the camcorder. 5.5 mm • When recording movies, try to get a calm, stable picture. Excessive camcorder movement while shooting and extensive use of fast zooms and panning can result in jittery scenes. In extreme cases, the playback of such scenes may result in visually induced motion sickness. If you experience such a reaction, immediately stop the playback and take a rest break as necessary. 117
