Cleaning tips for your Panasonic 8mm camcorder

• Use a commercial camcorder lens cleaning solution and lens paper when cleaning the camcorder lens to avoid scratching the lens and distorting video capture. Don't touch the lens surface with your bare fingers or hand while cleaning.
• Don't use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the camcorder body. Use only mild detergent and water to moisten a non-abrasive cloth and wipe down the camcorder body. Wipe off detergent residue using a lint-free cloth moistened with plain water. Dry the camcorder body thoroughly with a non-abrasive, lint-free cloth.
• To protect the finish of the camcorder body, wash your hands and face to remove any chemical products such as make-up or suntan lotion that can damage the finish.
• Protect the lens by keeping the lens cover installed on the camcorder then you're not using the device.
