∫Charging Time and Maximum Continuous Recording Time in the Manual Recording Mode

A Charging Time for a Full Charge

B Maximum Continuous Recording Time

≥“1 h 10 min.” stands for “1 hour and 10 minutes”.

≥The Battery Model CGR-V14 is supplied.

≥The times shown in the above chart are approximations. The figures in parentheses show the recording time when using the °LCD Monitor.

°LCD Monitor: NV-VZ9/VZ10 only

Maximum Continuous Recording Time means the duration of continuous recording performed at an ambient temperature of

25oC and 60% relative humidity. In actual recording, however, the use of the zoom and other functions increases the power consumption, and higher or lower temperatures reduce the

Battery’s ability to generate electricity. Therefore, the actual recording time per Battery may be approximately 30%–50% shorter than listed above.

You can confirm the remaining charge in the attached Battery in the Finder or on the °LCD Monitor. This also shows you approximately how much more continuous recording time you can get from the attached Battery. The indicated time does not change in 1-minute steps.

The above illustrations show how the Remaining Battery

Operation Time Indication changes according to the remaining operation time.

°LCD Monitor: NV-VZ9/VZ10 only

: Actual remaining battery operation time

A: Remaining Battery Operation Time Indication

(This indication does not appear when recording in the

Mirror Mode.) (l 106) (NV-VZ9/VZ10 only)

Remaining Battery Operation Time Indication

This Indication shows the remaining duration of continuous recording at an ambient temperature of 25oC when a fully charged Battery was attached. Therefore, in the following cases, the actual available recording time is different from the times shown above:

When Recording Is Not Performed Continuously

In most cases, you will frequently start and stop recording, turn the Movie Camera on and off, use the zoom and other functions, all of which consume power. Therefore, the actual available recording time from the Battery is approximately 30%–50% shorter than listed. (l 22)

When the Ambient Temperature Is Extremely Low or Extremely High

The characteristics of the Battery vary according to the ambient temperature, and at a very low temperature, the possible recording time becomes extremely short. In addition, the Remaining Battery Operation Time Indication on the

Movie Camera decreases a little faster than at an ambient temperature of 25oC.

(At a higher temperature, it tends to decrease more slowly.)

When the Service Life of the Battery Has Reached Its End

When the operation time even after full charging is too short for normal use, the service life of the Battery has reached its end. (l 126)

Using the LCD Monitor

(NV-VZ9/VZ10 only)

Improved LCD backlight transmission makes the picture extra bright. In addition, special coating of the LCD’s surface diffuses the light from outside to minimize light reflection, so the picture has vivid colours and is easy to see.

1 Slide the [3OPEN] Lever to the left and simultaneously open the LCD Monitor in the direction of the arrow approximately 90x.

Closing the LCD Monitor

Turn the LCD Monitor back toward the Movie Camera body until it locks with a click.

≥The picture seen on the LCD Monitor looks slightly stretched vertically, however, the actually recorded picture remains unaffected by this.

≥Return the LCD Monitor to its vertical position before closing it. Also, make sure that the Cassette Compartment is securely closed before closing the LCD Monitor.

≥Opening the LCD Monitor automatically turns the Finder off. However, when you turn the LCD Monitor so that is faces forward, the Finder turns on again.

≥When the Movie Camera is very cold when turning it on, the picture on the LCD Monitor is darker than normally. However, as it reaches normal temperature, it regains its normal brightness.

≥To remove fingerprints, wipe the LCD Monitor with a soft cloth.

≥Do not expose the LCD Monitor to direct sunlight. When sunlight falls onto the LCD Monitor, it may be difficult to view the picture.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor. The result is more than 99.99% active pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

≥When recording or playback starts, the Tape Length Indication disappears, and in its place the [R] Indication 3 flashes while the remaining tape time is being calculated. A few seconds later, the Remaining Tape Time Indication appears. ([R] means Remaining.)

≥When the remaining tape time is less than 2 minutes, the [R] Indication and the Remaining Tape Time Indication start to flash.

When you use a cassette bearing the [P] mark 4 or other special types of cassettes, the Remaining Tape Time

Indication may not be very precise.

Before using the Finder, adjust it to your eyesight so that the indications in the Finder are clear and easy to read.

1 Set the [CAMERA/OFF/VCR] Switch to [CAMERA] or [VCR].

≥Turn the switch while pressing the button 1.

2 If necessary, adjust the angle of the Finder by tilting it upward.

3 Adjust by turning the Eyepiece Corrector Lever.

Never aim the Movie Camera with its Finder or Lens directly at the sun; this could damage internal parts of the unit. 2

If sunlight or other strong light enters the Finder, sparkling noise occurs on the Finder screen. 3 If you block off the light, this phenomenon disappears after a few minutes and does not affect the recorded picture.

If a subject with strong contrast or a menu is displayed in the Finder, a ghost image may remain temporarily. 4 However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

Adjusting the Grip Belt

Adjust the length of the Grip Belt so that you can easily press the Recording Start/Stop Button 5 with your thumb and push the [W/T] Zoom Lever 6 with your index or middle finger.

Attaching the Lens Cap
