Chapter 1 Overview
Before using the camera, read this chapter.
Chapter 1 Overview — Before using the camera
Before using the camera
r Before using the camera, always check if the built-in battery is not consumed, and then set the date/time.
The internal clock of the camera is reset when the built-in battery has been consumed. This may result in the metadata of the clip not recorded correctly,
and it may not display correctly in the thumbnail screen.
Check if the built-in battery is not consumed before using. (page 33)
Also, set the correct date/time. (page 34)
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 image sensor may be damaged if the image sensor is exposed to the laser beam.
Take sufcient care to prevent laser beams from striking the lens when shooting in an environment where laser devices are used.
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 34) These settings have an effect on the management and playback order of
the recorded contents.

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. Use of
the external DC power supply that can secure power more than twice the total power consumption of the camera is recommended.
f Make sure of the pin alignment of the DC output terminal of the external DC power supply and the camera <DC IN 12V> terminal, and connect the polarity
correctly.
Connecting the GND terminal to +12 V power supply by mistake may cause re or malfunction.

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 <l>.

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 the external DC power supply, always turn on the power switch of the external DC power supply before setting the power switch of the
camera to <l>. 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

Switching between external DC power supply and battery power supply
Status for both the battery power supply and the external DC power supply are monitored within the camera. Status of each power supply can be
conrmed in the control panel and the indicator. (page 67)
The external DC power supply is prioritized. It will automatically switch to the battery power supply when both the battery power supply and the external
DC power supply are connected and the indicator on the side of the external DC power supply goes under the remaining charge level near end is
displayed.
Once it is switched, the voltage display will display slightly higher voltage value due to less load on the external DC power supply.
It will be as follows when the external DC power supply is connected when only the battery power supply is in use.
f It will continue to use the battery power supply when the indicator on the side of the external DC power supply is displaying the remaining charge level
near end.
