ª About dirty heads

Cautions for Use

If video heads (the parts that closely contact

with the tape) become dirty, normal recording

and playback are not properly performed.

Clean the heads with the digital video head

cleaner.

≥Insert the head cleaner into the movie camera,

set it to the Tape Playback Mode, and play it

back for about 10 seconds. (If you do not stop

the playback, it automatically stops about

15 seconds later.)

≥We recommend cleaning the heads periodically.

If the heads become dirty, “NEED HEAD

CLEANING” appears during recording. During

playback, moreover, the following symptoms

appear.

ª About condensation

If you turn the movie camera on when

condensation occurs on the head or the tape,

condensation Indication [3] is displayed on the

viewfinder or the LCD monitor and the messages

[3DEW DETECT] or [3EJECT TAPE] (only

when the tape is inserted) appear. If so, follow the

procedure below.

1 Remove the tape if it is inserted.

≥It takes about 20 seconds to open the

cassette holder. This is not a malfunction.

2 Leave the movie camera with the cassette

cover closed to cool or warm it to the

ambient temperature.

≥The status indicator blinks for about

1 minute and then the movie camera

automatically turns off. Leave it for about

1.5 to 2 hours.

≥Mosaic-like noise appears partially or the

sound is interrupted.

≥Black or blue mosaic-like horizontal stripes

appear.

3 Turn the movie camera on again, set it to

the Tape Recording/Playback Mode and

then check if the condensation indication

disappears.

≥The whole screen becomes black and there is

no picture and sound.

When normal playback cannot be performed

even after the head cleaning.

Especially in cold areas, moisture may be frozen.

If so, it may take more time before the

condensation indication disappears.

Watch for condensation even before the

condensation indication is displayed.

≥If the indicator of the condensation does not

display on the LCD monitor and/or the

viewfinder and you notice condensation on the

lens or the main unit, do not open the cassette

cover otherwise condensation may be formed

on the heads or the cassette tape.

One possible cause is that normal recording

could not be performed because the heads were

dirty at the time of recording. Clean the heads,

and perform recording and playback again. If

normal playback can be performed, the heads are

clean. Before an important recording, be sure to

conduct a test recording to make sure that normal

recording can be performed.

≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning,

the problem may be attributable to the tape. If

so, try another cassette.

When the lens is fogged:

≥During playback, the picture or sound may be

interrupted momentarily, but this is not a

malfunction of the movie camera. (One possible

cause is that the playback is interrupted by dirt

or dust that momentarily adheres to the heads.)

Set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF] and leave the

movie camera in this condition for about 1 hour.

When the lens temperature becomes close to the

ambient temperature, the fogging disappears

naturally.

ª About the battery

The battery used in the movie camera is a

rechargeable lithium ion battery. This battery is

susceptible to temperature and humidity, and the

effect of temperature increases with increasing or

decreasing temperature. In the low temperature

range, the fully charged indication may not

appear, or the low battery indication may appear

about 5 minutes after the start of use. At high

temperature, moreover, the protection function

may work, disabling use of the movie camera.

Be sure to detach the battery after use.

camera, a minute amount of current is

Do not spray insecticides or volatile

chemicals onto the movie camera.

≥If the movie camera is sprayed with such

chemicals, the camera body may become

deformed and the surface finish may peel off.

≥Do not keep rubber or plastic products in

contact with the movie camera for a long time.

When you use your movie camera in a sandy

or dusty place such as on a beach, do not let

sand or fine dust get into the body and

terminals of the movie camera. Also, protect

the movie camera from getting wet.

≥Sand or dust may damage the movie camera or

cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting

and removing a cassette.)

≥If sea water splashes onto the movie camera,

≥To store the battery for a long period of time, we

ª About the cassette

recommend you charge it once every year and

store it again after you have completely used up

the charged capacity.

≥Dust and other matter attached to the battery

terminals should be removed.

Prepare spare batteries when going out for

recording.

Never place the cassette in a high temperature

place.

≥The tape may be damaged, producing

mosaic-like noise at the time of playback.

When storing the cassette after use, be sure

to rewind the tape to the beginning and take it

out.

≥Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4 times the

period during you want to record pictures in. In

cold places such as a ski resort, the period

during which you can record pictures is

shortened.

≥When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC

adaptor so that you can recharge the batteries

at your destination.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to

see if the terminals are deformed.

≥Attaching a deformed battery to the movie

camera or the AC adaptor may damage the

movie camera or the AC adaptor.

Do not throw old battery into fire.

≥Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may

result in an explosion.

≥If the cassette is left for more than 6 months

(depending on the storage condition) in the

movie camera or stopped midway, the tape may

sag and be damaged.

≥Once every 6 months, wind the tape to the end

and then rewind it to the beginning. If the

cassette is left for 1 year or longer without

winding or rewinding, the tape may be deformed

by expansion or shrinkage attributable to

temperature and humidity. The wound tape may

stick to itself.

≥Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays), and

humidity may damage the tape. Such usage

may cause damage to the movie camera and

the heads.

≥After use, be sure to rewind the tape to the

beginning, put the cassette in the case to

protect it from dust, and store it upright.

Keep the cassette away from strong

magnetism.

≥If the operating time is very short even after the

battery has been recharged, the battery has

worn out. Please purchase a new battery.

ª About the AC adaptor

≥If the battery is warm, charging requires more

time than normal.

≥Apparatuses using magnets such as magnetic

necklaces and toys have magnetic force that is

stronger than expected, and they may erase the

contents of a recording or may increase noise.

≥If the temperature of the battery is extremely

high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] lamp may

continue flashing, and the battery may not be

charged. After the battery temperature has

decreased or increased sufficiently, recharging

starts automatically. So, wait for a while. If the

lamp still continues flashing even after the

recharging, the battery or the AC adaptor may

be faulty. If so, please contact a dealer.

≥If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio

reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC

adaptor 1 metre or more away from radio.

≥When using the AC adaptor, it may generate

whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC mains lead

from the AC mains socket. (If they are left

connected, a minute amount of current is

consumed.)

≥Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor

and the battery clean.

ª Automatic white balance

White balance adjustment recognizes the colour

of light and adjusts so the white colour will

become a pure white. The movie camera

determines the hue of light that comes through

the lens and white balance sensor, thereby

judging the recording condition, and selects the

closest hue setting. This is called automatic white

balance adjustment. However, since the movie

camera only stores white colour information

under several light sources, automatic white

balance adjustment does not function normally

under the other light sources.

Extremely high precision technology is

employed to produce the LCD monitor

screen featuring a total of approximately

105,000 pixels. The result is more than

99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of

the white balance.

White balance adjustment determines the white

colour under different light sources. By

recognizing which is the white colour under

sunlight and which is the white colour under a
