Out of the total pixels (approx. 230,000 pixels of an LCD monitor ), 0.01% or less pixels may be out (black dots) or may remain lit as colored dots (red, blue, and green). This shows the limitations of the current technology, and does not indicate a fault that will interfere with recording. - The LCD screen will be slightly dimmer than usual when the camcorder is cold, for example, when outside in late fall, or right after the power is turned on. Normal brightness will be restored when the temperature inside the camcorder rises. Note that this will have no effect on the image in a storage media, so there is no cause for concern. • Hold the camcorder correctly: - Do not hold the camcorder by the LCD monitor when lifting it. The LCD monitor could detach and the camcorder could fall. • Do not subject the camcorder to impact: - This camcorder is a precision machine. Take great care that you do not strike it against a hard object or let it fall. - Do not use the camcorder on a tripod in a place where it is subject to severe vibrations or impact. • No sand or dust! - Fine sand or dust entering the camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause malfunctions or defects. • No water or oil! - Water or oil entering the camcorder or AC power adaptor could cause electric shock, malfunctions or defects. • Heat on surface of product: - The surface of the camcorder will be slightly warm when used, but this does not indicate a fault. • Be careful of unusual ambient temperature: - Using the camcorder in a place where the temperature is over 104°F (40°C) or lower than 32°F (0°C) may result in abnormal recording/playback. - Do not leave the camcorder on a beach or in a closed vehicle where the temperature is very high for a long time. This could cause a malfunction. • Do not point directly at the sun: - If direct sunlight strikes the lens, the camcorder could malfunction or a fire could occur. - Do not leave the camcorder with the LCD screen exposed to direct sunlight. This could cause a malfunction. • Do not use the camcorder near a working TV or radio: - This could cause noise to appear on the TV screen or in radio broadcasts. • Do not use the camcorder near strong radio waves or a strong magnetic field: - If the camcorder is used near strong radio waves or a strong magnetic field such as that near a radio transmitter tower or electric appliance, noise could enter the video and audio your are recording.
