• Do not touch the pickup lens inside the disc
cover. Keep the disc cover closed except when
inserting and removing the disc, to keep dust
out.
• When your camcorder does not work because
the pickup lens is dirty, clean it with a camera
blower (sold separately). Do not touch the
pickup lens directly during cleaning, because
this may cause the cunlcorder to malfunction.
