Using the camcorder
• The camcorder is not dustproofed, dripproofed
or waterproofed. See "Precautions" (p. 30).
• Do not do any of the following when the
(Movie)/
(Still) mode lamps or the
ACCESS lamps (p. 12, 16) are lit or flashing.
Otherwise, the media may be damaged,
recorded images may be lost or other
malfunctions could occur.
– Eject the "Memory Stick PRO Duo"
– Remove the battery pack or AC Adaptor from
the camcorder
– Apply mechanical shock or vibration to the
camcorder
• When connecting your camcorder to another
device with communication cables, 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 camcorder.
• Connect cables to the connectors of the
Handycam Station when using your camcorder
attached to the Handycam Station. Do not
connect the cables to both the Handycam
Station and your camcorder.
• Do not apply shock or vibration to your
camcorder. The internal hard disk of the
camcorder may not be recognized or recording/
playback may not be possible.
• Do not use your camcorder in very loud areas.
The hard disk of your camcorder may not be
recognized, or recording may not be possible.
• To protect the internal hard disk from shock by
dropping, the camcorder has drop sensor
function*. When a drop occurs, or under a non-
gravity condition, the block noise made when
this function is activated by the camcorder may
also be recorded. If the drop sensor catches a
drop repeatedly, recording/playback may be
stopped.
• When the temperature of the camcorder
becomes extremely high or extremely low, you
may not be able to record or play back on the
camcorder, due to the protection features of the
camcorder being activated in such situations. In
this case, a message appears on the LCD screen
(p. 28).
• Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure
D
area, where the altitude is more than 3,000
meters (9,800 feet). Doing so may damage the
hard disk drive of your camcorder.
• If you repeat recording/deleting images for a long
time, fragmentation of data occurs on the media.
Images cannot be saved or recorded. In such a case,
save your images on some type of external media
first, and then perform [MEDIA FORMAT]*.
• Fasten the grip belt and hold your camcorder
correctly while recording.
