■ IMPORTANT (In the United Kingdom)
Mains Supply (240 V, 50 Hz only)
Do not make any connection to the larger terminal
coded E or Green. The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with foliowing code:
3__ Blue to N (Neutral) or Black.
■— Brown to L (Live) or Red.
If these colours do not correspond with the terminal
identifications of your piug, connect as follows:
Blue wire to terminai coded N (Neutral) or coloured
Black.
Brown wire to terminal coded L (Live) or coloured
Red.
If in doubt — consult a competent electrician.
Note:
We recommend that you should disconnect the AC
cord from the outlet.
Copyright laws
Your attention is drawn to the fact that recording of
pre-recorded tapes or discs or other pubiished or
broadcast material may infringe copyright laws.
Please read these cautions before operating
the S-VHS-C Camcorder, so that you will
obtain the best results from your Camcorder.
Video head clogging:
The video heads are the means by which the S-VHS-C
Camcorder places picture signals on the tape during
recording, and reads picture signals from the tape
during playback. If these heads become dirty and
clogged from long use, the signals can no longer be
recorded correctly, and the playback picture will be
distorted accordingly. This is the case, for example,
during the playback of a tape, the sound of which is
reproduced normally, but no picture is seen, or the
picture is greatly distorted. When such symptoms
occur, have the S-VHS-C Camcorder checked by
qualified service personnel.
If condensation forms inside the S-VHS-C Camcorder:
Condensation (dew) forms when warm air comes in
contact with a cold object, for example on a window in
a heated room in winter. Condensation may form in
the S-VHS-C Camcorder and damage the tape and the
video heads, if:
• The S-VHS-C Camcorder is in a room where the
heater has just been turned on.
• The S-VHS-C Camcorder is in a room with steam or
high humidity.
• The S-VHS-C Camcorder is brought from cold
surroundings into a well-heated room.
• The S-VHS-C Camcorder is suddenly brought from
cool surroundings, such as an air-conditioned room
or car, to a place which is hot and humid.
• When condensation has formed inside the S-VHS-C
Camcorder, the “DEW” indication in the electronic
viewfinder (EVF) will flash and a few seconds later,
the unit will turn itself off to protect the tape and
the video heads.
After a while, turn the unit on again and make sure
that the Dew mark is not displayed any more. Then,
wait about 1 hour before operating the S-VHS-C
Camcorder again. Depending on the surrounding
conditions, it may take several hours before the
S-VHS-C Camcorder can be used again.
• As condensation forms gradually, it may take about
10 —15 minutes before the S-VHS-C Camcorder
turns itself off after a change of working
environment.
• In an extremely cold place, condensation may
freeze and turn into frost. In this case, it may take
quite some time for the frost to melt, turn into dew
and evaporate.
• When you bring the S-VHS-C Camcorder from a
very cold place, e.g. the ski slopes, into a heated
room, keep it in a tightly closed plastic bag or
similar to prevent condensation from forming inside
the S-VHS-C Camcorder.
Keep the S-VHS-C Camcorder away from only smoke
and steam.
Protect the S-VHS-C Camcorder from humidity and
dust.
Surrounding conditions:
Use the S-VHS-C Camcorder under conditions where
the temperatures are between 0°C and 40°C and
where the humidity is between 20% and 80%. To
avoid deformation of the outer case or other
damaged, do not leave it exposed to direct sunlight
for any length of time, also never leave it in a closed
automobile.
Keep the S-VHS-C Camcorder away from heaters.
Keep the S-VHS-C Camcorder away from TV sets:
Do not place the S-VHS-C Camcorder near a TV set
because it might impair the picture and sound quality
of the recorded tape, and/or adversely. Affect the
performance of the S-VHS-C Camcorder.
Keep magnets away:
Never bring a magnet or magnetized object such as
fluorescent lamps, motors, electric clocks and battery
operated toys etc. close to the S-VHS-C Camcorder
because this could adversely affect its performance.
Keep the S-VHS-C Camcorder away from areas with
strong electric fields:
The picture may become distorted, when the S-VHS-C
Camcorder is used in places with strong electric
fields, such as near TV or radio antennas.
Never put any object inside:
Never insert any object other than a video cassette
into the S-VHS-C Camcorder. If any object is dropped
into it or if any liquid is spilled into it, consult qualified
service personnel. Operating it with some foreign
matter inside may cause fire or electric shock.
No fingers inside:
Touching internal parts of the S-VHS-C Camcorder is
dangerous and may cause serious damage to the
S-VHS-C Camcorder. Do not attempt to disassemble it.
For internal inspection, adjustment or repairs, consult
qualified service personnel.
Appearance of smear distortion:
Smear distortion is a peculiar characteristic of the
CCD device. It appears as a bright vertical stripe on
the screen when the S-VHS-C Camcorder is aimed at
spot lights or other bright lights and light reflecting
objects. To avoid this problem, make sure not to aim
the S-VHS-C Camcorder at such strong light sources
during shooting.
Cover the lens with the cap after shooting.
Keep the S-VHS-C Camcorder away from strong light:
Do not expose the S-VHS-C Camcorder to strong light,
because the heat from it may cause deformation or
other damage.
When the S-VHS-C Camcorder is not being used:
Remove the video cassette and turn the S-VHS-C
Camcorder off with the POWER switch.
Keep insecticide spray away:
Never spray things like insecticide on the lens and
body of the S-VHS-C Camcorder. Also, never leave
rubber or vinyl objects in contact with any part of it for
a long time, because the colour might change and the
body surface might be damaged.
Never place the S-VHS-C Camcorder with the cassette
compartment side facing down:
Never use the S-VHS-C Camcorder with the cassette
compartment facing down as this might cause uneven
winding and slacking of the tape.
Cleaning the S-VHS-C Camcorder:
• The body of the S-VHS-C Camcorder is made of
plastic materials. Never use benzine, thinner or
other chemicals for cleaning, because the colour
might be changed and the case surface might be
damaged.
• Wipe the case and operation panel with a soft,
clean cloth. For persistent stains, use a cloth
moistened with mild detergent and water, and then
wipe with a dry cloth.
• Clean the lens only with a blower brush (used for
photo cameras) or a special lens cleaning tissue
(used for glasses and cameras).
Handle with care:
Never drop the S-VHS-C Camcorder or expose it to
strong physical shocks. Shocks during use may result
in abnormal operation and performance.

For low-angle shots
The electronic viewfinder (EVF) can be turned upward
and forward by a maximum of 180°. This is
convenient for taking iow-angie shots.
Eyepiece corrector
This control makes it possibie for people who wear
glasses to adjust the eyepiece to their eyesight.
Charging indicator : Lights while charging is taking
place and goes off when charging
is completed.
Charging time : Approx. 60 minutes.
Note:
The charging time differs depending on the ambient
temperature and the condition of the battery pack.
Recording time for the Camcorder : Approx.
50 minutes.
Note:
The recording time per charge is influenced by the
duration of recording standby, frequency of zooming,
etc.
■Refreshing function
The battery pack can be recharged for repeated use.
However, if it is recharged repeatedly while there is
stiil some charge ieft, its charging capacity will be
gradually reduced. Therefore, if you often need to
recharge semi-discharged battery packs, attach the
battery pack to the AC adaptor, connect the AC
adaptor to the mains, and press the refresh button to
completely discharge the battery pack. (The refresh
lamp will light up, and when the discharging is
finished, the charging indicator iamp wiil light up
instead.) This will increase the charging capacity and
extend the operating iife of the battery pack.
Therefore, if the operating life of the battery pack
becomes noticeably shorter, refresh it. (it is
recommended to refresh the battery pack approx,
once every five recharging.)
For viewing the EVF with the left eye
Turn the eyecup
counterciockwise to
remove it.
Turn the eyecup so
that its ionger side
faces left. Align the
marks, and insert and
turn the eyecup
clockwise until it locks
with a click.
