About Batteries
Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.
GETTING STARTED
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), 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 (day), the clock
stops. When you finish setting the minute and press
MENU, the date and time begin operation from the
date and time you have just set.

eject a cassette.
1 Slide and hold OPEN/EJECT in the direction of
the arrow, then pull the cassette holder cover
open until it locks. The cassette holder opens
automatically.
● Do not touch internal components.
2 Insert or remove a tape and press “PUSH HERE”
to close the cassette holder.
● Be sure to press only the section labelled
“PUSH HERE” to close the cassette holder;
touching other parts may cause your finger to
get caught in the cassette holder, resulting in
injury or product damage.
● Once the cassette holder is closed, it recedes
automatically. Wait until it recedes completely
before closing the cassette holder cover.
● When the battery pack’s charge is low, you
may not be able to close the cassette holder
cover. Do not apply force. Replace the battery
pack with a fully charged one or use AC power
before continuing.
3 Close the cassette holder cover firmly until it
locks into place.

NOTES:
● It takes a few seconds for the cassette holder to
open. Do not apply force.
● If you wait a few seconds and the cassette holder
does not open, close the cassette holder cover and
try again. If the cassette holder still does not open,
turn the camcorder off then on again.
● If the tape does not load properly, open the
cassette holder cover fully and remove the
cassette. A few minutes later, insert it again.
● When the camcorder is suddenly moved from a
cold place to a warm environment, wait a short
time before opening the cassette holder cover.
● Closing the cassette holder cover before the
cassette holder recedes may cause damage to the
camcorder.
● Even when the camcorder is switched off, a
cassette can be loaded or unloaded. After the
cassette holder is closed with the camcorder
switched off, however, it may not recede. It is
recommended to turn the power on before
loading or unloading.
● When resuming recording, once you open the
cassette holder cover a blank portion will be
recorded on the tape or a previously recorded
scene will be erased (recorded over) regardless of
whether the cassette holder came out or not. See
“Recording From The Middle Of A Tape”
(墌 pg. 19).

● Zooming is possible to a maximum of 200X, or it
can be switched to 10X magnification using the

● 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 to the
subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Lever is

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.
● 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.
Self Recording
EN 19
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.
