Precautions for waterproof function
0
Malfunction due to misuse by the
customer is not covered by warranty.
0
Before use in water, be sure to read and
understand the “Detailed User Guide”.
0
Close the terminal cover firmly until it
clicks and confirm that the red sign
completely goes off.
0
Make sure that there is no damage to and
no foreign material adhered to the
packing inside the cover.
0
Use the camcorder in marine water and
fresh water not deeper than 5 m or for not
more than 1 hour.
0
The waterproof cannot be guaranteed if
the camcorder is subject to impact such
as dropping.
0
Do not jump or dive into water holding the
camcorder.
0
Do not use the camcorder in strong water
flows such as in rapids or under
waterfalls. The strong water pressure
may impair the waterproof performance.
0
Do not soak the camcorder in hot springs
or water of 40 °C (104°F) or higher.
4 EN
Fogging inside the Lens
Models with waterproof function are airtight.
When the temperature rises during
recording, condensation can occur inside
the lens due to the internal humidity.
During recording
To prevent the temperature of this unit from
rising, we recommend that you use the unit
in the following ways.
A
Avoid frequent exposure to direct
sunlight.
Record under the shade or use an
umbrella. Best if you could keep a wet
towel cover the unit.
B
The use of a tripod is recommended.
Long hours of recording while holding the
unit in your hands will cause the
temperature of the unit to rise.
C
It is better to leave the terminal cover open
while recording.
However, the waterproof, dust-proof and
shockproof features do not function in this
condition. Do take note of the environment
when using the camera. (Do not use a wet
towel.)
D
Make sure to turn off the power when you
are not recording.
The power turns off when the LCD monitor
is closed.
(When [Quick Restart] is [On], power
continues to be consumed for about 5
minutes after closing the LCD monitor
screen.)
During charging
It is recommended to charge the unit in a low
humidity environment.
The moist air inside the unit can cause
condensation.
We recommend that you charge the unit in a
room where humidifier is not in use, and in
an air-conditioned room during summer.
When fogging occurs inside the lens
Open the terminal cover to reduce the
temperature, close the LCD monitor and
leave the camera as it is for a while.
.
Open the terminal cover.
Protecting the Lens
There is a protective glass in front of the lens
to protect the lens.
0
If the protective glass is dirty, wipe clean
using a commercially available cleaning
cloth.

Built-in Battery
This unit is equipped with a built-in
lithium-ion battery. Before using this
Unit, be sure to read the following
cautions:
0
To avoid hazards
…
do not burn.
…
do not modify or disassemble.
…
do not expose this Unit to temperatures
exceeding 60°C (140°F), as this may
cause the built-in battery to overheat,
explode or catch fire.
0
To prevent damage and prolong
service life
…
do not subject to unnecessary shock.
…
charge within the temperature range of
10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F). Cooler
temperatures require longer charging
time, or in some cases stop charging at
all.
Warmer temperatures prevent complete
charging,
or in some cases stop charging
at all.
…
store in a cool, dry place. Extended
exposure to high temperatures will
increase natural discharge and shorten
service life.
…
keep a 30% battery level (i) if the
battery is not to be used for a long period
of time.
In addition, fully charge and then fully
discharge the battery every 6 months,
then continue to store it at a 30% battery
level (i).
…
remove the AC adapter from the unit
when not in use, as some machines use
current even when switched off.
…
do not drop intentionally or subject to
strong impact.
The product you have
purchased is powered by a
rechargeable battery that is
recyclable.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for
