Is there a maintenance schedule for my PDW700 camcorder?

PDW700 Sony PMW-EX1 camera maintenance is performed periodically in order to ensure all parts are in good working condition. Video equipment with mounted mechanism use wears parts, and this deterioration will cause miscellaneous malfunctions. Dust, dirt and sea salt can also impair the stable operation of your camera. That’s why it is important to perform regular maintenance on your camera, and not just service the equipment when it is in need of repair.
