Chapter 1 Overview
Before using the camera, read this chapter.
Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera
Before using the camera
r When using this product during rain or snow or when at the beach, be careful that water does not get inside the camera recorder.
Water causes damage to the camera recorder and memory card. (Repair may be impossible)
r Keep the camera recorder away from devices (TVs, TV games, etc.) that produce magnetism.
f If you use the camera recorder near TVs, video and sound data may be distorted by electromagnetic waves.
f Strong magnetic elds produced by speakers and large motors may cause damage to recorded contents and may distort images.
f Electromagnetic waves emitted by microcomputers may have a harmful effect on the camera recorder and may corrupt video and sound data.
f The camera recorder may not operate properly if it receives harmful effects from devices that produce magnetism. In this case, turn off the camera
recorder, and remove the battery. Next, attach the battery again. After that, turn on the camera recorder.
r Do not use the camera recorder near radio transmitters or high-voltage devices.
If you use the camera recorder near radio transmitters or high-voltage devices, the recorded video and sound data may suffer harmful effects.
r When using the camera recorder at the beach, etc., be careful that sand and dust do not get inside the camera recorder.
Sand and dust may damage the camera recorder and memory card. (Be careful when inserting and removing the memory card)
r When carrying the camera recorder, be careful not to drop it.
f Strong shocks will damage the camera recorder body and it may not operate properly.
r Do not apply insecticide or volatile materials to the camera recorder.
f If insecticide or volatile materials come into contact with the camera recorder, the camera recorder body may warp and the paint may come off.
f Do not allow the camera recorder to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl objects for a long period of time.
r After using the camera recorder, be sure to remove the battery.
Be sure to remove the battery from the camera recorder. (If the battery is left in the camera recorder, it will continue to consume a small amount of
electric current even when the power is turned off)
If the battery is left inside the camera recorder for a long time, it will over discharge and may become unusable even if it is recharged.
Do not remove the battery when the power is turned on.
Turn off the power and remove the battery after the operation lamp goes completely out.
r Take proper care of the battery terminal.
Do not allow dust or foreign objects on the battery terminal.
Also, if you drop the battery by mistake, make sure that the battery body and the terminal are not warped.
Inserting a deformed battery into the camera recorder or attaching it to the battery charger may cause damages on the camera recorder or battery
charger.
r Cautions when throwing memory cards away or transferring them to others
Formatting memory cards or deleting data using the functions of the camera or a computer will merely change the le management information: it will
not completely erase the data on the cards. When throwing these cards away or transferring them to others, either physically destroy them or use a
data deletion program for computers (commercially available) to completely erase the data. Users are responsible for managing the data stored in their
memory cards.
r Control panel and viewnder
f If the same image or letters are allowed to be displayed on the control panel for a long time, the image may be burned into the screen. It will return to
normal after leaving the camera recorder turned off for several hours.
f Condensation sometimes forms on the LCD of the control panel in locations subject to extreme temperature differences. If this happens, wipe with a
soft, dry cloth.
f If the camera recorder is very cold, the control panel will be slightly darker than normal immediately after the power is turned on. It will return to its
regular brightness when the temperature inside increases.
f Since the viewnder uses organic EL, if the same image or letters are allowed to be displayed for a long time, the image may be burned into the
screen. There is no problem with the recorded images.
Switch the screen by turning off the screen or by using the eye sensor, etc.
f The control panel and viewnder monitor (organic EL) are highly-precisely managed so that at least 99.99% of the dots are effective pixels and 0.01%
or less are invalid pixels and always lit. This is not a malfunction and it has no effect whatsoever on the recorded images.
r Do not point the eye piece of the lens and viewnder at the sun.
Doing so might damage the components inside.
r GPS
GPS (Global Position System) satellite is managed by the United States Department of State and its precision is sometimes intentionally changed.
Position it in a location where there is a good view of the sky and there is no inuence of obstacles such as roofs and trees, etc.
Depending upon the surrounding environment and the time, it may take a long time to position and errors may be larger.
r Caution regarding laser beams
The MOS sensor may be damaged if the MOS sensor is subjected to light from a laser beam.
Take sufcient care to prevent laser beams from striking the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used.

Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera
r Note the following points.
f If you prepare to record important images, always shoot some advance test footage to verify that both pictures and sound are being recorded
normally.
f Should video or audio recording fail due to a malfunction of the camera or the P2 cards used, we will not assume liability for such failure.
f Set up or check the calendar and time zone before recording. (page 33) These settings have an effect on the management and playback order of
the recorded contents.

Connect the external DC power supply to the <DC IN> terminal of the camera.
1
Turn on the power switch of the external DC power supply (if the external DC power supply has a power switch).
2
Turn the <POWER> switch of the camera to <ON>.

r External DC power supply
Connect after making sure that the output voltage of the external DC power supply is compatible with the rated voltage of the camera.
Select an output amperage for the external DC power supply with a margin above the total amperage of the connected devices.
The total amperage of connected devices can be calculated with the following formula.
Total power consumption ÷ Voltage
When the power of the camera is turned on, inrush current is generated. Insufcient power supply when turning on the power may cause a malfunction. We
recommend that you use an external DC power supply that can assure double the capacity of the total power consumption of the camera and connected devices
that are turned on by interlock when the power of the camera is turned on (such as lenses). For the DC cable, use a dual-core shielded wire of AWG16 (nominal
cross section area 1.309 mm
f Make sure of the pin alignment of the DC output terminal of the external DC power supply and the camera <DC IN> terminal, and connect the polarity
correctly.
If the +12 V power supply is mistakenly connected to the GND terminal, it may cause re or malfunction.

@@
t When both the battery and the external DC power supply are connected, the power supply from the external DC power supply has priority. The battery
may be removed while using the external DC power supply.
t When using an external DC power supply, always turn the power switch of the external DC power supply on before turning the <POWER> switch of
the camera <ON>. If the operations are performed in reverse, the camera may malfunction because the external DC power supply output voltage rises
too slowly.
t When switching the power supply from an external DC power supply to the battery, carefully remove the DC cable from the <DC IN> terminal.
Removing the cable quickly may temporarily stop the camera’s operation.
t When power is supplied from the <DC IN> terminal, the light circuit does not function. The light circuit can be used only when power is supplied from
the Anton/Bauer battery plate.
t When a battery is connected to the <DC IN> terminal, set [MENU] → [SYSTEM SETTINGS] → [BATTERY] → [EXT DC IN SELECT] to [BATTERY],
