FAQ: Important announcement for users of the LEGRIA HF M31 / M32 / M36 / M300 / M306 / M307 digital camcorders

Details:


We have discovered that when using the LEGRIA HF M31 / M32 / M36 / M300 / M306 / M307 digital camcorders for shooting video, a low temperature burn may occur depending on the way the camcorder is held and how long it is held.

In this announcement we would like to convey the details and our service policy.

Helpful Information:

While shooting video, as the temperature of the camcorder rises, heat is transmitted to the screw that is positioned between the MIC and AV/OUT terminals. If skin comes in contact with the screw during long periods of shooting, a low temperature burn may result.

Solution:


Users should try to avoid touching the screw when shooting video for long periods of time.

Furthermore, a protection cushion that covers the screw will be provided to users free-of-charge in order to prevent direct contact with the skin.
The protection cushion will need to be applied to the area indicated by the red rectangle in the image below.
