Before using the camera r r Before using the camera, always check if the built-in battery is not consumed, and then set the date/time. The date of the internal clock of the camera resets to January 1, 2019 if the built-in battery is exhausted. This may result in the meta data of the clip not being recorded correctly, and it may not display correctly in the thumbnail screen. Connect the AC adaptor to the camera or mount a battery when recharging the built-in battery. The date/time set on the camera is maintained for approximately four months when left in this state for approximately 24 hours. (The built-in battery is charged even when the power switch is set to < j > (ON)) For details about setting the time zone and date/time, refer to [TIME ZONE] (page 16) and [CLOCK SETTING] (page 16). r r Do not use the unit in oily-smoky or dusty places. Performance may be adversely affected if small particles or other foreign objects get inside the product. Take extra care in environments where a special effect such as theatrical smoke is used. r r When using this product during rain or snow or when at the beach, be careful that water does not get inside the camera. Water causes damage to the camera and memory card. (Repair may be impossible) r r Keep the camera away from devices that produce magnetism (TVs, TV games, etc.). f f Do not use the camera on top of a TV or around it. Image or audio of the camera may be distorted by the electromagnetic wave emitted from a TV. f f The recorded content may be damaged or image may be distorted by a strong magnetic field produced by speaker or large motor. f f Do not use the camera on top of a microcomputer or around it. Image or audio of the camera may be distorted by the electromagnetic wave emitted from a microcomputer. f f The camera may not operate properly due to a harmful effect from a device producing magnetism. In such case, turn off the camera and either remove the battery or unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet. Then, mount the battery or connect the AC adaptor again. After that, turn on the camera. r r Do not use the camera near a radio transmitter or high-voltage device. Using the camera recorder near a radio transmitter or high-voltage device may cause harmful effect to the recorded video or audio. r r Take care so sand and/or dust do not get inside the camera when using the camera at the beach, etc. Sand and dust may damage the camera and memory card. (Be careful when inserting or removing the memory card) r r AC adaptor, battery charger, and battery f f It may take more time to charge or may not be able to charge when the temperature of the battery is extremely high or extremely low. f f When the charging lamp continues to flash in orange, check if there is any debris, foreign object, or dirt attached to the terminal section of the battery or the battery charger, and reconnect it correctly. Always disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before removing the debris, foreign object, or dirt attached to the terminal section. f f The charging lamp will flash in orange when the temperature of the battery is extremely high or low. Then, charging will start automatically after the battery reaches chargeable temperature. f f If the charging lamp continues to flash even when the battery is at its optimal temperature, the battery or battery charger may be damaged. Consult the dealer. f f Noise may be generated in radio when the camera is used close to a radio (especially when receiving AM). Keep a distance of 1 m or more when using. f f Oscillating sound may generate inside the AC adaptor or the battery charger during the use, but this is not a malfunction. f f Always disconnect the power plug from the power outlet after the use. (Power of approximately 0.1 W is consumed by the AC power itself if kept connected) f f Do not get the terminal section of the AC adaptor, the battery charger, or the battery dirty. Install the device close to the power outlet so the disconnection device (power plug) can be easily reached. r r Memory cards f f The surface of camera or the memory card may get slightly hot when used for a long period of time, but this is not a malfunction. f f The amount of memory included on the label of the memory card is the total amount of memory below. -- Capacity to protect and manage copyright -- Capacity usable as the normal memory on the camera or a PC. f f Do not give a strong impact to, bend, or drop the memory card. f f Memory card data may become destroyed or erased in the following cases. -- Electrical noise or static electricity -- Malfunction of the camera or the memory card f f Do not perform the following operations when accessing the memory card (the card 1 access lamp/card 2 access lamp is flashing in orange). -- Removing the memory card -- Disconnecting battery or the AC adaptor without turning off the camera -- Apply vibration of impact r r Take care not to drop the camera when carrying the camera. f f Strong impact will damage the camera, and it may not operate properly. f f Hold the handle or grip when carrying the camera, and handle it carefully. r r Do not apply insecticide or volatile material to the camera. f f The camera may deform or the paint may peel off when insecticide or volatile material is applied. f f Do not allow the camera to remain in contact with a rubber or vinyl object for a long period of time.

r r Disconnect the battery or disconnect the AC cable from the power outlet after the use. r r Battery characteristics The battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It produces electrical energy via an internal chemical reaction. This chemical reaction is effected by the ambient temperature and humidity. The usable time of the battery becomes shorter when the temperature gets higher or lower. When used in an environment with extremely low temperature, it can only be used for approximately five minutes. When the battery is in an extremely hot environment, its protective function will operate and the camera recorder cannot be used temporarily. r r After using the camera recorder, be sure to remove the battery. Securely remove the battery from the camera. (Minute current is consumed even if the camera is turned off when the battery is kept mounted) The battery will become over discharge and may become unusable even if it is recharged when the battery is kept mounted for long period of time. Do not remove the battery when the power is turned on. Turn off the power and remove the battery after the operation lamp goes completely out. r r Take proper care of the battery terminal. Do not allow dust or foreign objects on the battery terminal. Confirm that the battery and its terminal section is not deformed when the battery is dropped by mistake. Do not mount the deformed battery into a camera or mount to the battery charger. This may damage the camera or the battery charger. r r Cautions when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the camera or a computer will merely change the file management information: it will not completely erase the data on the cards. It is recommended to completely erase the data in following method when discarding/conveying. f f Physically destroy the memory card itself f f Completely erase the data in the memory card using a commercially available data erasing software for PC, etc. Users are responsible for managing the data stored in their memory card. r r LCD monitor and viewfinder f f Do not continuously display the same image or text on the LCD monitor for a long period of time. The image may be burned on to the screen. It will return to normal after leaving the camera recorder turned off for several hours. f f Condensation sometimes forms on the LCD panel of the LCD monitor in locations subject to extreme temperature differences. If this happens, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. f f The LCD monitor will be slightly darker than normal immediately after the power is turned on when the camera is very cold. It will return to its regular brightness when the internal temperature increases. f f The LCD monitor and viewfinder (organic EL) are managed with high precision so that at least 99.99% of the dots are effective pixels and 0.01% or less are invalid pixels and always lit.
