Basic operations / éÒÌÓ‚Ì˚ ÓÔ ‡ˆËË
To focus the viewfinder lens
If you cannot see the indicators in the viewfinder
clearly, or after someone else has used the
camcorder, focus the viewfinder lens. Move the
viewfinder lens adjustment lever so that the
indicators in the viewfinder come into sharp
focus.
Note on Standby mode
If you leave the camcorder in Standby mode for 5
minutes while the cassette is inserted, the
camcorder turns off automatically. This prevents
wearing down the battery and wearing out the
tape. To resume Standby mode, while pressing
the small green button on the POWER switch, set
it to OFF once, and then to CAMERA. To start
recording, press START/STOP.
Note on recording
When you record from the beginning of a tape,
run the tape for about 15 seconds before starting
the actual recording. This will ensure that you
will not miss any start-up scenes when you play
back the tape.
•This camcorder records and plays back in SP
(standard play) mode and in LP (long play)
mode. Select SP or LP in the menu system. The
playback quality in LP mode, however, will not
be as good as that in SP mode.
•When a tape recorded on this camcorder in LP
mode is played back on other types of 8 mm
camcorders or VCRs, the playback quality may
not be as good as that on this camcorder.
Notes on the tape counter
•The tape counter indicates the recording or
playback time. Use it as a guide. There will be
a time lag of several seconds from the actual
time. To set the counter to zero, press
COUNTER RESET.
•If the tape is recorded in SP and LP modes
mixed, the tape counter shows incorrect
recording time. When you intend to edit the
tape using the tape counter, record in same (SP
or LP) mode.
Note on the beep sound
As indicated with in the illustrations, a beep
sounds when you turn the power on or when
you start recording, and two beeps sound when
you stop recording, confirming the operation.
Several beeps also sound as a warning of any
unusual condition of the camcorder.
Note that the beep sound is not recorded on the
tape. If you do not want to hear the beep sound,
select “OFF” in the menu system.
•The recording continues even when the picture
in the viewfinder disappears during recording.
•If you set VF PW-SAVE to OFF in the menu
system, the picture in the viewfinder does not
disappear even when you turn your face away
from the viewfinder.
•The finder power save function sometimes does
not operate due to the effects of sunlight or
fluorescent light.
Zooming is a recording technique that lets you
change the size of the subject in the scene.
For more professional-looking recordings, use
the zoom function sparingly.
“T” side: for telephoto (subject appears closer)
“W” side: for wide-angle (subject appears farther
Zooming speed (Variable speed
zooming)
Press the power zoom lever a little for a relatively
slow zoom; press it still more for a high-speed
zoom.
When you shoot a subject using a telephoto
zoom
If you cannot get a sharp focus while in extreme
telephoto zoom, press the “W” side of the power
zoom lever until the focus is sharp. You can
shoot a subject that is at least about 100 cm away
from the lens surface in the telephoto position, or
1 cm away in the wide-angle position.
•More than 10x zoom is performed digitally, and
the picture quality deteriorates as you go
toward the “T” side. If you do not want to use
the digital zoom, set the D ZOOM function to
OFF in the menu system.
•The vertical bar in the power zoom indicator
separates the optical zooming zone (left of the
bar [a]) and the digital zooming zone (right of
the bar [b]). If you set the D ZOOM function to
OFF, the part to the right of the bar disappears.
•When using the digital zoom function, zooming
power is up to 40x.
Place the camcorder on a flat surface or use a
tripod
Try placing the camcorder on a table top or any
other flat surface of suitable height. If you have a
tripod for a still camera, you can also use it with
the camcorder. When attaching a non-Sony
tripod, make sure that the length of the tripod
screw is less than 6.5 mm. Otherwise, the screw
may damage the inner parts of the camcorder.
If you wear glasses
You can bend back the eyecup to get a better
view of viewfinder [e].
Cautions on the viewfinder, the LCD panel
and the lens
•Do not pick up the camcorder by the
viewfinder or by the LCD panel [f].
•Do not place the camcorder so as to point the
viewfinder, the LCD screen and the lens toward
the sun. The inside of the viewfinder, the LCD
panel and the lens may be damaged. Be careful
when placing the camcorder under sunlight or
by a window [g].

Charging the vanadiumlithium battery in the
camcorder
Your camcorder is supplied with a vanadiumlithium battery installed so as to retain the date
and time, etc., regardless of the setting of the
POWER switch. The vanadium-lithium battery
is always charged as long as you are using the
camcorder. The battery, however, will get
discharged gradually if you do not use the
camcorder. It will be completely discharged in
about 1 year if you do not use the camcorder at
all. Even if the vanadium-lithium battery is not
charged, it will not affect the camcorder
operation. To retain the date and time, etc.,
charge the battery if the battery is discharged.
The following are charging methods:
•Connect the camcorder to a wall outlet using
the supplied AC power adaptor, and leave the
camcorder with the POWER switch turned off
for more than 24 hours.
•Or, install the fully charged battery pack in the
camcorder, and leave the camcorder with the
POWER switch turned off for more than 24
hours.
When disposing of the
camcorder
Remove the vanadium-lithium battery, and
dispose of the camcorder and the vanadiumlithium battery according to the disposal system
in your country. The vanadium-lithium battery is
installed in the cassette compartment.

Selecting cassette types
This Hi8 system is an extension of the standard 8
mm systems, and was developed for higherquality pictures.
You can use Hi8 video and standard 8 mm
cassettes. When you want to record in the Hi8
system, use only Hi8 video cassettes. You cannot
record on standard 8 mm cassettes in the Hi8
system.
When you play back
The playback mode (SP/LP mode or Hi8/
standard 8 mm) is selected automatically
according to the format in which the tape has
been recorded. The quality of the recorded
picture in LP mode, however, will not be as good
as that in SP mode.
When you play back a tape, the sound will be in
monaural if:
•you record the tape using this camcorder, then
play it back on an AFM Hi-Fi monaural video
recorder/player.
•you record the tape on an AFM Hi-Fi monaural
video recorder, then play it back on this
camcorder.
Recording mode
When you play back a tape, the SP/LP indicator
in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen shows the
recording mode SP/LP.
Foreign 8 mm video
You cannot play back tapes recorded on a
different TV colour system. Because the TV color
systems differ from country to country, you may
not be able to play back foreign pre-recorded
tapes. Refer to the list of “Using your camcorder
abroad” to check the TV colour system of foreign
countries.
Playing back an NTSC-recorded tape
You can play back tapes recorded in NTSC video
system using the SP mode. If the tape is recorded
in the AFM Hi-Fi system, the AFM Hi-Fi sound is
reproduced.
When you want to adjust the hue of the picture
played back on a multi-system TV, set NTSC PB
to NTSC 4.43 in the menu system. If you cannot
obtain the result you want, select the appropriate
TV colour system mode on your TV.
However, note that the following will occur
during playback of an NTSC-recorded tape.
•You cannot play back a tape recorded in NTSC
system with LP mode on a TV screen.
•If a tape has portions recorded in PAL and
NTSC video systems, the tape counter reading
is not correct. This discrepancy is due to the
difference between the counting cycle of the
two video systems.
•You cannot edit the NTSC-recorded tape onto
another VTR.
This section shows you how you can get the most
out of your battery pack.
Preparing the battery pack
Always carry additional batteries
Have sufficient battery pack power to do 2 to 3
times as much recording as you have planned.
Battery life is shorter in a cold
environment
Battery efficiency is decreased, and the battery
will be used up more quickly, if you are
recording in a cold environment.
To save battery power
Do not leave the camcorder in Standby mode
when not recording to save the battery power.
A smooth transition between scenes can be made
even if recording is stopped and started again.
While you are positioning the subject, selecting
an angle, looking through the viewfinder, or
looking at the LCD screen, the lens moves
automatically and the battery is used. The
battery is also used when a tape is inserted or
removed.

When to replace the battery
pack
While you are using your camcorder, the
remaining battery indicator in the viewfinder or
on the LCD screen decreases gradually as battery
power is used up [a].
When using the InfoLITHIUM battery pack such
as the NP-F530, the remaining time in minutes
appears.
[a]
When the remaining battery indicator reaches the
lowest point, the i indicator appears and starts
flashing in the viewfinder or on the LCD screen.
When the i indicator in the viewfinder or on
the LCD screen changes from slow flashing to
rapid flashing while you are recording, set the
POWER switch to OFF on the camcorder and
replace the battery pack. Leave the tape in the
camcorder to obtain a smooth transition between
scenes after the battery pack has been replaced.
When you use the InfoLITHIUM battery pack,
depending on conditions, the i indicator may
flash, even if there are 5 to 10 minutes remaining.
Notes on the rechargeable
battery pack
Caution
Never leave the battery pack in temperatures
above 60°C (140°F), such as in a car parked in the
sun or under direct sunlight.
The battery pack heats up
During charging or recording, the battery pack
heats up. This is caused by energy that has been
generated and a chemical change that has
occurred inside the battery pack. This is not
cause for concern, and is normal.
The InfoLITHIUM battery pack is a lithium
battery pack which can exchange data with
compatible video equipment about its battery
consumption.
Sony recommends that you use the
InfoLITHIUM battery pack with video
equipment having the mark.
When you use this battery pack with video
equipment having the mark, the
video equipment will indicate the remaining
battery time in minutes.* However, if you use it
with video equipment not having this mark, the
remaining battery capacity will not be indicated
in minutes.
* The indication may not be accurate depending
on the condition and environment which the
equipment is used under.
Battery pack care
•Remove the battery pack from the
camcorder after using it, and keep it in a cool
place. When the battery pack is installed to the
camcorder, a small amount of current flows to
the camcorder even if the POWER switch is set
to OFF. This shortens battery life.
•The battery pack is always discharging even
when it is not in use after charging. Therefore,
you should charge the battery pack right before
using the camcorder.
The switch on the battery pack
This switch is provided so that you can identify a
charged battery pack. Set the switch to the
“green mark” position when charging is
completed. [a] (When the battery pack is
removed from the AC power adaptor after
charging, the switch automatically moves to the
“green mark” position. However, when
removed from the camcorder after charging, the
switch does not change position.)

The life of the battery pack
If the battery indicator flashes rapidly just after
turning on the camcorder with a fully charged
battery pack, the battery pack should be replaced
with a new fully charged one.
Charging temperature
You should charge batteries at temperatures from
10°C to 30°C (from 50°F to 86°F). Lower
temperatures require a longer charging time.
Notes on charging
A brand-new battery pack
A brand-new battery pack is not charged. Before
using the battery pack, charge it completely.
Recharge the battery pack whenever
you like
You do not have to discharge it before
recharging. If you charged the battery pack fully
but you did not use it for a long time, it becomes
discharged. Then recharge the battery pack
before use.
Notes on the terminals
If the terminals (metal parts on the back)
are not clean, the battery charge duration
will be shortened.
When the terminals are not clean or when the
battery pack has not been used for a long time,
repeatedly install and remove the battery pack a
few times. This improves the contact condition.
Also, wipe the + and – terminals with a soft cloth
or paper.
Be sure to observe the following
•Keep the battery pack away from fire.
•Keep the battery pack dry.
•Do not open nor try to disassemble the battery
pack.
•Do not expose the battery pack to any
mechanical shock.

How to prevent moisture
condensation
When bringing the camcorder from a cold place
to a warm place, put the camcorder in a plastic
bag and allow it to adapt to room conditions over
a period of time.

containing the camcorder.
(2) Remove the bag when the air temperature
inside it has reached the temperature
surrounding it (after about 1 hour).

Video head cleaning
To ensure normal recording and clear pictures,
clean the video heads. When the v indicator and
“ CLEANING CASSETTE” message appear
one after another in the viewfinder or on the LCD
screen, or playback pictures are “noisy” or hardly
visible, the video heads may be dirty.
[a][b]
[a] Slightly dirty
[b] Very dirty
If this happens, clean the video heads with the
Sony V8-25CLH cleaning cassette (not supplied).
After checking the picture, if it is still “noisy,”
repeat the cleaning. (Do not repeat cleaning
more than 5 times in one session.)
Caution
Do not use a commercially available wet-type
cleaning cassette. It may damage the video
heads.
Note
If the V8-25CLH cleaning cassette is not available
in your area, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
•Operate the camcorder on 7.2 V (battery pack)
or 8.4 V (AC power adaptor).
•Should any solid object or liquid get inside the
casing, unplug the camcorder and have it
checked by Sony dealer before operating it any
further.
•Avoid rough handling or mechanical shock. Be
particularly careful of the lens.
•Keep the POWER switch set to OFF when not
using the camcorder.
•Do not wrap up the camcorder and operate it
since heat may build up internally.
•Keep the camcorder away from strong
magnetic fields or mechanical vibration.
•Do not push the LCD screen.
•If the camcorder is used in a cold place, a
residual image may appear on the LCD screen.
This is not a malfunction.
•While using the camcorder, the back of the LCD
screen may heat up. This is not a malfunction.
On handling tapes
Do not insert anything in the small holes on the
rear of the cassette. These holes are used to sense
the type of tape, thickness of tape and if the
recording tab is in or out.
Camcorder care
•When the camcorder is not to be used for a long
time, disconnect the power source and remove
the tape. Periodically turn on the power,
operate the camera and player sections and
play back a tape for about 3 minutes.
•Clean the lens with a soft brush to remove dust.
If there are fingerprints on the lens, remove
them with a soft cloth.
•If fingerprints or dust are on the LCD screen,
we recommend you remove them using the
LCD cleaning kit (not supplied).
•Clean the camcorder body with a dry soft cloth,
or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of
solvent which may damage the finish.
