Using AC Power

About Batteries

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

DANGER! Do not attempt to take the batteries apart,

or expose them to flame or excessive heat, as it may cause a fire or explosion. WARNING! Do not allow the battery or its terminals to come in contact with metals, as this can result in a short circuit and possibly start a fire.

The Benefits Of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion battery packs are small but have a large power capacity. However, when one is exposed to cold temperatures (below 10°C/50°F), its usage time becomes shorter and it may cease to function. If this happens, place the battery pack in your pocket or other warm, protected place for a short time, then re-attach it to the camcorder. As long as the battery pack itself is not cold, it should not affect performance. (If you’re using a heating pad, make sure the battery pack does not come in direct contact with it.)

Built-in Clock’s Rechargeable Lithium Battery

To store the date/time in memory, the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery is integrated in the camcorder. While the camcorder is connected to an AC outlet using the AC Adapter, or while the battery pack attached to the camcorder continues to supply power, the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery is always charged. However, if the camcorder is not used for approx. 3 months, the clock’s lithium battery will become discharged and the date/time stored in memory will be lost. When this occurs, first connect the camcorder to an AC outlet using the AC Adapter for over 24 hours to charge the clock’s rechargeable lithium battery. Then perform the date/ time setting before using the camcorder. Note that the camcorder can be used without setting the date/time.

NOTE:

Even if you select “CLOCK ADJ.”, if the parameter is not highlighted, the camcorder’s internal clock continues to operate. Once you move the highlight bar to the first date/time parameter (month), the clock stops. When you finish setting the minute and press the MENU, the date and time begin operation from the date and time you have just set.

Slide the write/erase protection tab on the side of the memory card in the direction of “LOCK”. This prevents the memory card from being recorded over. To record on this memory card, slide the tab back to the position opposite to “LOCK” before loading it.

NOTES:

● Be sure to use only SD Memory Cards marked

“” or MultiMediaCards marked “”.

● Some brands of memory cards are not compatible with this camcorder. Before purchasing a memory card, consult its manufacturer or dealer.

● Before using a new memory card, it is necessary to FORMAT the card. (墌 pg. 30)

TTENTION:

Do not insert or remove the memory card while the camcorder is turned on, as this may cause the memory card to be corrupted or cause the camcorder to become unable to recognize whether or not the card is installed.

Zooming

Produces the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous change in image magnification.

Zoom In

Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “T”.

Zoom Out

Slide the Power Zoom Lever towards “W”.

● The further you slide the Power Zoom Lever, the quicker the zoom action.

NOTES:

● Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In this case, set the zoom while in RecordStandby, lock the focus by using the manual focus (墌 pg. 45), then zoom in or out in Record mode.

● Zooming is possible to a maximum of 200X, or it can be switched to 10X magnification using the optical zoom. (墌 pg. 35)

● Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through Digital image processing, and is therefore called Digital Zoom.

● During Digital zoom, the quality of image may suffer.

● Digital zoom cannot be used when the VIDEO/ MEMORY Switch is set to “MEMORY”.

● Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm (2”) to the subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is set all the way to “W”. Also see “TELE MACRO” in MANUAL Menu on page 36.

Journalistic Shooting

In some situations, different shooting angles may provide more dramatic results. Hold the camcorder in the desired position and tilt the LCD monitor in the most convenient direction. It can rotate 270º (90º downward, 180º upward).

Interface Shooting

The person you shoot can view himself/ herself in the LCD monitor, and you can even shoot yourself while viewing your own image in the LCD monitor.

1) Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180º so that it faces forward.

● When the LCD monitor is tilted upward to an angle of over approx. 105º, the monitor image is inverted vertically. If the viewfinder is pulled out at that time, it also switches on.

2) Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when self-recording) and start recording.

● During Interface Shooting, the monitor image

appears inverted as it would when viewing a mirror. However, the actual recorded image does not appear inverted.

Time Code

During recording, a time code is recorded on the tape. This code is to confirm the location of the recorded scene on the tape during playback. If recording starts from a blank portion, the time code begins counting from “00:00:00” (minute:second:frame). If recording starts from the end of a previously recorded scene, the time code continues from the last time code number. To perform Random Assemble Editing (墌 pg. 60 –

65), time code is necessary. If during recording a blank portion is left partway through the tape, the time code is interrupted. When recording is resumed, the time code starts counting up again from “00:00:00”. This means the camcorder may record the same time codes as those existing in a previously recorded scene. To prevent this, perform “Recording From The Middle Of A Tape” (墌 pg. 19) in the following cases;

● When shooting again after playing back a

recorded tape.

● When power shuts off during shooting.

● When a tape is removed and re-inserted during

shooting.

● When shooting using a partially recorded tape.

● When shooting on a blank portion located

partway through the tape.

● When shooting again after shooting a scene then

opening/closing the cassette holder cover.
