Additional Information Disposal Maintenance/Others When you delete movies or initialize the hard disk 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 hard disk or memory card using the [Complete Initialization] option ( 33). Fill it up with unimportant recordings, and then initialize it again using the same option. 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, Viewfinder ( only) and Instant AF Sensor • If the lens surface or Instant AF sensor is dirty, 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 or viewfinder. 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. 120

Disposal
When you delete movies or initialize the
hard disk 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 hard disk or
memory card using the [Complete
Initialization] option (
33). Fill it up
with unimportant recordings, and then
initialize it again using the same option.
This makes recovering the original
recordings very difficult.
