Being careful in handling your video camera will mean lesser trips to the service center for repair or parts replacement.

• Tripods should only be used when absolutely necessary because it is very likely that your video camera will be knocked over.
• Avoid lending your camera because the borrower may not be as familiar as you are with your gadget and might accidentally damage it.
• For analog camcorders, do not force in a tape or force it out if it gets stuck. In these situations, your video camera must be fixed by a trained professional.
• If your video camera is broken or damaged, do not try to repair it yourself. Always entrust your gadgets to trained experts.
