Function.

ª To check the Elapsed Tape Time

The Tape Counter Indication shows the elapsed
tape time both during recording and playback.
You can freely reset this indication (return the
counter to [0:00:00]). Therefore, by resetting the
counter to zero when you start recording or

Notes and Hints

ª Concerning the Power Supply

≥The AC Adaptor features automatic universal

voltage adjustment (AC 110–240 V, 50/60 Hz),
therefore, there is no need for any manual
voltage adjustment for use in other countries.

≥If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not flash even

though the Battery is attached and the AC
Adaptor is connected, remove the Battery and
then re-attach it.

≥Charge the Battery at a room temperature

between 10oC and 30oC.

≥When the Movie Camera is used for a long

time, the Camera body becomes warm, but
this is not a malfunction.

≥During recording or charging, the Battery

becomes warm. However, this is normal.

≥To ensure precise indication of the remaining

battery power, always use a fully charged
Battery when attaching a Battery.

ª Charging Lamp [CHARGE]

≥Flashing: During charging
≥Flashing with [CAMERA] Lamp: When error

occurs

≥Lit: VCR Mode
≥Off: The Battery is fully charged.

ª Inserting the Cassette

≥You will hear noise of tightening the tape when

you insert the cassette, and noise of rewinding
the tape when you close the cassette
compartment. However, this is not a
malfunction.

≥In the case of using a previously recorded

Cassette, you can use the Camera Search
Function to find the position where you want to
continue recording.

≥If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the

beginning of the tape before starting
recording.

≥When inserting the cassette, make sure it

faces in the right direction and then push it in
until it stops.

ª Using the LCD Monitor

≥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 Viewfinder off. However, when you turn the
LCD Monitor so that it faces forward, the
Viewfinder 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 push the LCD Monitor hard. If it is

pushed hard, finger marks etc. may remain on
teh Monitor for a while.Though it disappears
naturally, please set the [CAMERA/OFF/VCR]
Switch to [OFF], then turn on the power again
for quick recovery.

≥Do not expose the LCD Monitor to direct

sunlight. When sunlight falls onto the LCD
Monitor, it may be difficult to view the picture.

ª Using the Menus

≥Do not turn off the power while performing a

menu operation.

≥Turn the [34] Dial slowly. If you turn it fastly,

selecting the item may stop halfway.

≥Changing from the Camera to the VCR Mode.
≥Closing the LCD Monitor with the screen

facing outward.

ª Zoom In/Out Functions

≥The further you push the [W/T] Lever toward

[W] or [T], the faster the zooming speed
becomes.

≥When you are zooming on a faraway subject,

a sharper focus is achieved if the recording
subject is 1.8 metres or more away from the
Lens.

≥When using the Macro Close-up Function, we

recommend that you use the IR/Video DC
Light (optional), etc. rather than the 0 Lux
Night View Function to brighten up the scene.

ª Super Image Stabilizer Function

≥The Super Image Stabilizer Function does not

operate in a dimly lit place. In this case, the
[[] Indication flashes.

≥Under fluorescent lighting, image brightness

may change or colours may not look natural.

AE Modes when the 0 Lux Night View Mode is
activated.

Sports Mode

≥When playing back scenes recorded in the

Sports Mode, you can enjoy slow motion
and still playback of very sharp images
with fine details.

≥During normal playback, the image

movement may not look smooth.

≥Because the colour and brightness of the

playback image may change, avoid
recording under fluorescent light, mercury
light or sodium light.

≥If you record a subject illuminated with

strong light or a highly reflective subject,
vertical lines of light may appear.

≥If the light is insufficient, the [5]

Indication flashes.

Sports Mode/Portrait Mode

≥If this mode is used for indoor recording,

playback images may flicker.

Low Light Mode

≥Extremely dark scenes may not be able to

be made brighter to a satisfactory degree.

the quality of image may deteriorate.

ª Interval Recording

≥Before performing other operations following

Interval Recording, make sure the Interval
Recording Mode is deactivated.

≥The Interval Recording Mode is cancelled

when the Movie Camera is turned off.

ª Motion Sensor Function

≥When you use the Motion Sensor Function, it

is recommended that you use the AC Adaptor.

≥Depending on the colour, size, or movement of

the recording subject, the Motion Sensor may
not function properly.

≥When setting the Motion Sensor Function, the

recording and search functions are disabled.

≥You cannot record the beginning of the

movement.

≥To prevent accidental recording start caused

by Movie Camera movement, the Movie
Camera should be mounted on a tripod or be
otherwise secured in a very stable position.

≥Although you can select a digital effect on the

[DIGITAL EFFECT] Sub-Menu when
[MOTION SENSOR] on the
[CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu is set to [ON],
the Motion Sensor Function has priority and
the selected digital effect is automatically
cancelled.

≥When you use the AC Adaptor to power the

Movie Camera, the Motion Sensor Stand-by
Mode will continue when no movement is
detected in the picture, even when the tape
has reached the end during recording.

≥To ensure correct functioning of the Motion

Sensor Function, the moving subject should
be quite large in the picture. Therefore, when
you have zoomed the lens to the maximum
wide-angle position, the distance between lens
and subject should preferably be within about
2 metres. For subjects at larger distances, be
sure to zoom in accordingly.

≥If there is a power interruption, the Motion

Sensor Function is cancelled.

Cleaning the Viewfinder

If dust has entered the Viewfinder:

4 Push the Buttons on both sides of the

Viewfinder and remove it in the direction
of the arrow.

5 Remove dust with a blower brush (not

supplied).

≥If you use a cotton swab or similar to clean

the inside of the Viewfinder, use it very
carefully to prevent scratching the screen
inside the Viewfinder.

6 To re-attach the Viewfinder, push it

forward onto the Viewfinder Tube until it
locks with a click.

≥Clean the LCD Monitor with a soft cloth or a

blower brush.

≥Wipe the Movie Camera Body with a soft cloth.
≥Clean the lens with a soft cloth or a blower

brush.

ª Precautions for the Movie Camera

In the event of abnormal operation (e.g. if the
unit emits smoke or an unusual smell),
immediately stop operating the unit and consult
qualified service personnel.

To prevent fire, electric shock and
malfunction, observe the following points:

≥Use only the recommended accessories.
≥Do not disassemble the Movie Camera or

make any alterations to it.

≥Protect against spray water and sand.
≥Take care that water splashes (especially

seawater) or dust do not enter the Movie
Camera. If seawater has accidentally splashed
onto the Movie Camera, moisten a soft cloth
with tap water, wring it out well and carefully
wipe the camera body with it. Then thoroughly
wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

≥Do not insert any foreign objects.
≥Do not cover with a cloth during use.
≥Do not subject to strong vibrations or

mechanical shocks.

≥Do not use in places with oily smoke and a lot

of dust.

≥If a thunderstorm approaches, stop using the

Movie Camera. (If you are using the AC
Adaptor, disconnect it from the AC mains
socket taking care not to touch any metal
parts.)

≥Do not use near magnetized equipment.
≥Do not use near a radio or TV.
≥Do not use near a cell phone because doing

so may cause noise to adversely affect the
picture and sound.

≥Do not use with the cassette compartment

facing down.

≥Do not aim the Lens or Viewfinder directly at

the sun; the lens collects light and the resulting
heat could deform internal precision parts and
cause irreparable damage to the Movie
Camera.

≥Do not leave in a closed car on a summer day.

The inside temperature becomes higher than
you imagine and this could damage the Movie
Camera.

≥Do not wash with water. Water might leak into

the Movie Camera and cause an electric
shock or fire.

≥Do not use a cleaning fluid, benzine, alcohol,

thinner or other chemicals for cleaning. They
might not only change the colour and damage
the surface of the camera body, but might also
increase the risk of fire if there is an open
flame or heater nearby.

≥Never leave the Movie Camera in places with

high temperature.

Precautions for Storing the Movie Camera

Be sure to take out the cassette and remove the
Battery before storing.
Avoid the following places:
≥Places with high temperature and high relative

humidity

- Recommended temperature: 15xC–25xC

- Recommended relative humidity: 40%–60%

≥Places exposed to direct sunlight
≥In direct contact with rubber or plastic products

for a long time

≥In reach of children

ª Precautions for the AC Adaptor

Observe the following points:

≥Use only for the specified Movie Camera and

Battery.

≥Do not handle with wet hands.

-58 -

Others

≥To unplug the AC Mains Lead, be sure to pull

it out by the plug, not by the cable.

≥Do not forcefully bend the cables or alter them.
≥Do not operate very close to a radio, TV etc.

ª Precautions for the Battery

The Battery’s ability to generate electric energy
is based on a chemical reaction. If the Battery is
incorrectly handled, it could cause leakage,
excessive rise in temperature, fire or explosion.

Observe the Following Points:

≥Use only the specified AC Adaptor to charge

the Battery, and use the Battery only for this
Movie Camera.

≥When you have finished using the Movie

Camera, be sure to remove the Battery. If you
leave the Battery attached to the Movie
Camera, a small amount of electricity is
consumed even if the [CAMERA/OFF/VCR]
Switch is set to [OFF], and this reduces the
Battery’s charge. Leaving the Battery attached
to the Movie Camera for a very long time could
discharge it excessively and this could make
charging impossible.

≥Do not allow metal objects such as keys and

necklaces to touch the battery terminals.
Short-circuiting may occur and generate heat,
and this could cause the Battery to explode.
Be especially careful when storing or carrying
the Battery in a bag.

≥Do not deform or alter the Battery.
≥When the operation time even after proper

charging is too short for normal use, the
service life of the Battery has reached its end.

≥If the Battery becomes too warm, a protection

function is activated and it puts the Battery
temporarily out of operation.

≥Do not throw the Battery into a fire. This could

cause it to explode.

Precautions for Storing the Battery

Avoid the following places, as they could
shorten the service life of the Battery:
≥Places with extremely high temperature and

high relative humidity

- Recommended temperature: 15xC–25xC

- Recommended relative humidity: 40%–60%

≥Places with oily smoke and a lot of dust.

The terminals of the Battery might rust.

≥Before you store the Battery for a long time,

perform playback or other operations to
completely use up the remaining charge in the
Battery. Then remove it from the Movie
Camera and store it. We recommend that you
reactivate the Battery about once a year by
charging it and then completely using up the
charge before storing it again.

ª Precautions for the Cassette

When you have finished using the Movie
Camera, rewind the tape to the beginning and
take the cassette out of the Movie Camera. If
you store the cassette for a long time,
fast-forward and then rewind it at least once a
year to expose the tape to fresh air.

Observe the following points to prevent
deformation of the cassette case and
deterioration of the picture and sound quality.
≥Do not subject the cassette to strong vibration

or mechanical shocks.

≥Do not place it near magnetized equipment.
≥Avoid places where the temperature can

become very high.

ª Causes of Condensation and

Remedy

When condensation has formed inside the
Movie Camera and on the tape, recording
becomes impossible. In addition, the tape might
remain in contact with the heads and this could
seriously damage the Movie Camera.

Main Causes of Condensation

≥When the Movie Camera is brought from a

cold to a warm place.

≥When the Movie Camera is taken outdoors

from inside an air-conditioned car or house.

≥When the heating is turned on in a cold room.
≥When the Movie Camera is exposed to the

cold breeze from an air-conditioner.

≥When the Movie Camera is in a very hot or

humid place or in a place with steam.

Symptoms of Condensation

When turning on the Movie Camera, the
Condensation Indication [3] appears.
(A few seconds later, the Movie Camera
automatically turns itself off.)

Remedy as Follows:

1) Take out the cassette.

2) Keep the Cassette Compartment open and
wait a few hours.

3) A few hours later, turn on the Movie Camera
and confirm that the Condensation
Indication is not displayed any more. For
added safety, wait about 1 more hour.

To Prevent Condensation from Forming

When bringing the Movie Camera from a very
cold to a warm place, keep it in a tightly closed
plastic bag or something similar for 1 to 2 hours
before using it again.

When the Lens Is Fogged up

Turn the Movie Camera on and wait for about
1 hour until it has reached about the same
temperature as its surroundings.

ª Video Head Clogging and Remedy

If the video heads become dirty and clogged
with dust, the picture quality deteriorates.

Symptoms of Dirty Video Heads

≥When turning on the Movie Camera, the [:]

Indication appears.

≥When playing back a cassette on the Movie

Camera and watching the picture on a
connected TV, white noise bars appear in the
picture. However, if the heads are extremely
dirty, the playback picture cannot be seen at
all.

Remedy as Follows:

Use a video head cleaning cassette to clean the
heads. Carefully follow the instructions for its
use as too much cleaning wears down the
heads. If the playback picture is not clear after
cleaning, it means that the video heads are
worn out. Consult qualified service personnel.

Explanation of Terms

ª How the White Balance (Tint)

Adjustment Works

Video recording takes place under various light
sources, from sunlight as the main natural light
source to a wide range of artificial light sources
such as fluorescent lamps. As each of these
light sources has a different colour temperature,
each of them gives the colours of the subject a
slightly different tint.
Human eyes can easily adjust to different kinds
of lighting and recognize an object as having the
same colour, even under different light sources.
The eye of the Movie Camera (lens), however,
cannot adapt to the change in lighting and is
influenced by the lighting. Therefore, depending
on the light source, the picture would be
recorded with a bluish or reddish tint. To
minimize the influence of the lighting on the
colours of the subject, an adjustment called
White Balance Adjustment is necessary.

Auto White Balance

This Movie Camera offers both Auto White
Balance Adjustment and Manual White Balance
Adjustment. When the Movie Camera is in the
Full Auto Mode, the internal system of the Movie
Camera automatically determines the
temperature of the light and compensates the
tint of the subject accordingly. White is the basic
colour by which the tint is determined. Because
this adjustment is performed based on the white
colour, it is called White Balance Adjustment.
The optimum settings for several light sources
are stored in the memory of the Movie Camera.
The internal microcomputer compares the
colour temperature of the light received by the
White Balance Sensor positioned on the front of
the Movie Camera with the colour stored in
memory, and selects the setting for the most
similar tint.
Be careful not to cover the White Balance

-32-) with your hand, etc.

Sensor (

Manual White Balance

Although this Movie Camera stores the optimum
settings for several light sources in memory to
correctly judge the white colour, it cannot cope
with all light sources. Therefore, to record under
those types of lighting which cannot be correctly
adjusted with Auto White Balance Adjustment,
use Manual White Balance Adjustment. (

ª How the Focus Adjustment Works

If you look at an object through a magnifying
glass and move it closer or further away from
your eye, you will reach a point where the object
becomes clearly visible. Being focused or in
focus means that the subject can be seen with
optimum clarity and sharpness. The distance
between the lens and the point where the rays
of light come together is called Focal Distance
or Focal Length and depends on the size and
shape of the lens.
Human eyes have lenses too, and when we look
at objects at different distances, the shape of
these lenses changes automatically so that we
can always see the objects clearly.

-44-)

Auto Focus Adjustment

The image of the subject enters the Movie
Camera through the lens and is converted into
an electrical signal (video signal) for recording
onto tape. Based on this signal, the Auto Focus
System automatically adjusts the focal distance
by moving the focusing lens forward or
backward.
The focus is adjusted on the subject in the
centre of the Viewfinder.
