Power

This camcorder’s 2-way power supply system lets you choose the most appropriate source of power. Do not use provided power supply units with other equipment.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

1 Make sure you unplug the camcorder’s DC cord from the AC Power Adapter/Charger. Plug the AC Adapter/ Charger’s power cord into an AC outlet. The POWER indicator lights.

2 Attach the battery pack with the mark aligned with the corresponding marks on the AC Power Adapter/Charger. The CHARGE Indicator begins blinking to indicate charging has started.

3 When the CHARGE indicator stops blinking but stays lit, charging is finished. Remove the battery by pushing up the protruding part. Remember to unplug the AC Adapter/Charger’s power cord from the AC outlet.

●If the protective cap is attached to the battery pack, remove it first.

●If you connect the camcorder’s DC cord to the AC Power Adapter/Charger during battery charging, power is supplied to the camcorder and charging stops.

●When charging the battery pack for the first time or after a long storage period, the CHARGE indicator may not light. In this case, remove the battery pack from the AC Power Adapter/Charger, then try charging again.

●If the battery operation time remains extremely short even after having been fully charged, the battery is worn out and needs to be replaced. Please purchase a new one.

Lithium-ion is vulnerable in colder temperatures.

About Batteries

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.)

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 270° (90° downward, 180° 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.
	Open the LCD monitor and tilt it upward to 180° so that it faces forward.
	When the LCD monitor is tilted upward to an angle of over approx. 105°,
	the monitor image is inverted vertically. If the viewfinder is pulled out at
	that time, it also switches on.
Self-Recording	Point the lens toward the subject (yourself when self-recording) and start
	recording.
	During Interface Shooting, the monitor image and indications do not
	appear inverted as they would when viewing a mirror.

							FEATURE: Zooming
							PURPOSE:
							To produce the zoom in/out effect, or an instantaneous
							change in image magnification.
Zoom in (T: Telephoto)							OPERATION:
							Zoom In
1 xW	T		1 0 xW	T			Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring anti-
				20xW	T		clockwise.
					40xW	T	Zoom Out
							Turn the Power Zoom (SHUTTLE SEARCH) Ring
							clockwise.
							The further you turn the Power Zoom Ring the
			Zoom out (W: Wide angle)				quicker the zoom action.
							NOTES:
		Zoom display
							● Focusing may become unstable during Zooming. In
1 0 x		W	T				this case, set the zoom while in Record-Standby,
							lock the focus by using the manual focus
					Digital zoom zone
							( pg. 53), then zoom in or out in Record mode.

●Zooming is possible to a maximum of 100X, or it can be switched to 10X magnification using the

10X (optical) zoom	optical zoom ( pg. 41).
zone	● Zoom magnification of over 10X is done through
	Digital image processing, and is therefore called
Approximate zoom ratio	Digital Zoom.
	● During Digital zoom, the quality of image may
	suffer.
	● Digital zoom cannot be used in the following cases:
	•When digital image processing, such as Picture
	Wipe/Dissolve ( pg. 50, 51) or Video Echo
Power Zoom	( pg. 49), is activated.
Ring	● Macro shooting (as close as approx. 5 cm to the
	subject) is possible when the Power Zoom Ring is
	turned all the way clockwise. Also see “TELE
	MACRO” in the Menu Screen on page 41.

VIDEO RECORDING (cont.)

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 ( pg. 69 – 73), 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” below 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.
