cally treated cloths or volatile solvents such as paint thinner.

brush. Then, use a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth to gently wipe the

LCD Touch Screen

• Clean the LCD touch screen using a clean, soft lens-cleaning cloth.

•Condensation may form on the surface of the screen when the tem-

perature changes suddenly. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.

Condensation

Moving the camcorder rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may

cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its internal surfaces.

Stop using the camcorder if condensation is detected. Continued use

may damage the camcorder.

Condensation may form in the following cases:

• When the camcorder is moved quickly from cold to warm places

• When the camcorder is left in a humid room
