their instructions.
4. Keep the camcorder and its accessories out of the reach of

2. It is the sole responsibility of the user if problems (such as
data loss and system failure) occurred due to non-factory
installed software, parts, and/or non-original accessories.
3. Do not attempt to repair or change the camcorder. Any
changes to the camcorder invalidate the warranty.
Taking care of your camcorder
