Using this Sony camcorder is a breeze. First, insert the provided XQD 120GB cards to start recording your precious moments. As the camcorder doesn't come with a power supply or battery, you'll need to get your own suitable ones. When using it, keep it steady to get clear shots. For maintenance, clean the lens regularly with a soft cloth. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a dry and safe place. This way, your camcorder will serve you well for a long time.
