Sony NSCGC1 Instruction Manual - Page 4

• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the malfunction of your camera. • Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or emits radiation. The camera may not be able to record or play back properly. • Using the camera in sandy or dusty locations may cause malfunctions. • If moisture condensation occurs, remove it before using the camera (page 29). • Do not shake or strike the camera. In addition to malfunctions and an inability to record images, this may render the recording medium unusable, or cause image data breakdown, damage or loss. • Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of flash emission may cause dirt on the flash surface to become discolored or to stick to the flash surface, resulting in insufficient light emission. • When connecting your camera to another device with a cable, be sure to insert the connector plug in the correct way. Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal will damage the terminal and may result in a malfunction of your camera. • Movies other than those shot, edited or composed on this camera cannot be played back. [ Notes on the LCD screen and lens • The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over 99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue or green in color) that constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are normal in the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way. • Do not hold the camera by only holding the LCD panel. [ Note on disposal/transfer When using software embedded in the camera, personal information such as IDs and mail addresses may be saved on the internal memory of the camera. When transferring the camera to others or on disposal, do so after deleting the information input. [ About changing the language setting The on-screen displays in each local language are used for illustrating the operating procedures. Change the screen language before using your camera if necessary (page 9).
