Notes on LP mode
•We recommend to use this camcorder to play
back a tape recorded on this camcorder. If a
tape recorded on other camcorder is played
back on this camcorder, or vice versa, mosaicpattern noise may appear.
•When you record in SP and LP modes on one
tape or you record some scenes in LP mode, the
playback picture may be distorted or the time
code may not be written properly between
scenes.
•We recommend to use a Sony ME cassette.
•You cannot make audio dubbing on a tape
recorded in LP mode. Use the SP mode for the
tape to be audio dubbed.
Notes on the time code
•The time code indicates the recording or
playback time, "0:00:00" (hours : minutes :
seconds) in CAMERA mode and "0:00:00:00"
(hours : minutes : seconds : frames) in PLAYER
mode.
•Be sure not make a blank portion when
recording, because the time code will start from
“0:00:00:00” again. You cannot rewrite the time
code on the tape if there is a blank portion
between pictures.
Note on connecting an external microphone
You can record audio sound by connecting the
VMC-LM7 adaptor (not supplied) and an
external microphone. Connect the microphone to
the MIC jack of the VMC-LM7 adaptor. While
recording through an external microphone, the
built-in microphone of the camcorder does not
work.
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.
Note on remaining tape indicator
The indicator may not be displayed accurately
depending on the tape. Though the indicator
does not appear at the time of recording, it will
appear in a few seconds.
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
Press the power zoom switch a little for a
relatively slow zoom; press it still more for a
high-speed zoom. Zooming speed while the
camcorder is in the Standby mode is faster than
that in the recording mode making it easier to
compose the scene.
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 switch until the focus is sharp. You can
shoot a subject that is at least about 80 cm (about
2 5/8 feet) away from the lens surface in the
telephoto position, or about 1 cm (about 1/2
inch) 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 horizontal bar in the power zoom indicator
separates the digital zooming zone (above the
bar [a]) and the optical zooming zone (under
the bar [b]). If you set the D ZOOM function to
OFF, the part above the bar disappears.
•When using the digital zoom function, zooming
power is up to 20x.

Shooting with the LCD screen
You can also record the picture while looking at
the LCD screen.
When using the LCD screen, the viewfinder
screen turns off automatically. You cannot
monitor the sound from the speaker during
recording.
(1) Open the LCD panel.
(2) Adjust angle of the LCD panel
The LCD panel moves about 90 degrees to
this side and about 180 degrees to the other
side.
To adjust the brightness of the LCD screen,
press LCD BRIGHT.
+ side: to brighten the LCD screen
– side: to dim the LCD screen
The battery life is longer when the LCD panel is
closed. Use the viewfinder instead of the LCD
screen to save the battery power.
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 (9/32 inches).
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 [d].
Cautions on the LCD panel and on the
viewfinder
•Do not pick up the camcorder by the
viewfinder or the LCD panel [e].

You can record an audio sound to add to the
original sound on a tape by connecting audio
equipment or a microphone. If you use the
VMC-LM7 adaptor (not supplied) to connect the
audio equipment, you can add a sound on your
recorded tape by specifying starting and ending
points. The original sound will not be erased.
You can only operate with the Remote
Commander.
When using an external microphone, connect it
to the MIC jack of the VMC-LM7 adaptor.
If you record the sound using the built-in
microphone, you do not need to connect the
VMC-LM7 adaptor.
Notes on audio dubbing
• A new sound cannot be recorded on a tape
already recorded in the 16-bit mode (32 kHz,
44.1 kHz or 48 kHz).

We recommend to use an ME cassette
You can get the highest quality pictures with this
camcorder using an ME cassette which is the
highest quality cassette.
You may not get as good quality with lesser
quality cassettes.
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, or looking at the LCD screen or through
the viewfinder, the lens moves automatically and
the battery is used. The battery is also used
when a tape is inserted or removed.

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.
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 C 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.
If the camcorder is brought directly from a cold
place to a warm place, moisture may condense
inside the camcorder, on the surface of the tape,
or on the lens. In this condition, the tape may
stick to the head drum and be damaged or the
camcorder may not operate correctly. To prevent
possible damage under these circumstances, the
camcorder is furnished with moisture sensors.
Take the following precautions.
Inside the camcorder
If there is moisture inside the camcorder, the
beep sounds and the { indicator flashes. If this
happens, none of the function except cassette
ejection will work. Open the cassette
compartment, turn off the camcorder, and leave
it about 1 hour. When 6 indicator flashes at the
same time, the cassette is inserted in the
camcorder. Eject the cassette, turn off the
camcorder, and leave also the cassette about 1
hour.
On the lens
If moisture condenses on the lens, no indicator
appears, but the picture becomes dim. Turn off
the power and do not use the camcorder for
about 1 hour.
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.
(1) Be sure to tightly seal the plastic bag
containing the camcorder.
(2) Remove the bag when the air temperature
inside it has reached the temperature
surrounding it (after about 1 hour).
To ensure normal recording and clear pictures,
clean the video heads.
The video heads may be dirty when:
•mosaic-pattern noise appears on the playback
picture
•playback pictures do not move
•playback pictures are hardly visible
•playback pictures do not appear
•the v indicator and “ Ò CLEANING
CASSETTE” message appear one after another
or the v indicator flashes on the LCD screen or
in the viewfinder
/
If [a] or [b] happens, clean the video heads with
the Sony DVM12CL cleaning cassette (not
supplied). Check the picture and if the above
problem persists, repeat the cleaning. (Do not
repeat cleaning more than 5 times in one session.)
Note
If the DVM12CL cleaning cassette (not supplied)
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.
On handling tapes
•Do not insert anything in the small holes on the
cassette.
•Do not open the tape protect cover or touch the
tape.
•Avoid touching or damaging the terminals. To
remove dust, clean the terminals with a soft
cloth.
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.
•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.

Identifying the PartsйФУБМ‡‚‡МЛВ ˜‡ТЪВИ
To prepare the Remote Commander
To use the Remote Commander, you must insert
two R6 (size AA) batteries. Use the supplied R6
(size AA) batteries.
(1) Remove the battery cover from the Remote
Commander.
(2) Insert both of the R6 (size AA) batteries with
correct polarity.
(3) Put the battery cover back onto the Remote
Commander.
231
Note on battery life
The batteries for the Remote Commander last
about 6 months under normal operation. When
the batteries become weak or dead, the Remote
Commander does not work.
To avoid damage from possible battery
leakage
Remove the batteries when you will not use the
Remote Commander for a long time.
To use the Remote Commander
Make sure that the COMMANDER is set to VTR4
or ID in the menu system on the camcorder.
You can avoid misoperation from other remote
commanders by setting the VTR4/ID/VTR2
selector to ID. Use the supplied Remote
Commander when you set the selector to ID.
When you use the Remote Commander for the
first time, register the ID following the procedure
below. Once you register the ID, you do not
need to do again.
(1) Open the LCD panel.
(2) Press MENU to display the menu on the LCD
screen.
(3) Press V or v to select COMMANDER, then
press EXECUTE.
(4) Press v to select ID SET.
(5) Set the VTR4/ID/VTR2 selector on the
Remote Commander to ID.
(6) Point the Remote Commander at the
camcorder and press p STOP on the Remote
Commander.
After the beep sound, the ID of the Remote
Commander is registered, and the
COMMANDER is set to ID in the menu
system.
Aim the Remote Commander to the remote
sensor.
The operative range of the Remote Commander
is about 5 m (16.4 feet) indoors. Depending on
the angle, Remote Commander may not activate
the camcorder.
Notes on the Remote Commander
•Keep the remote sensor away from strong light
sources such as direct sunlight or illumination.
Otherwise, the remote control may not be
effective.
•Be sure that there is no obstacle between the
remote sensor on the camcorder and the
Remote Commander.
•This camcorder works at commander mode
VTR4 or ID. The commander modes (VTR4 or
ID) are used to distinguish this camcorder from
other Sony VCRs to avoid remote control
misoperation. If you use another Sony VCR at
commander mode ID, we recommend you
change the commander mode or cover the
remote sensor of the VCR with black paper.
•You do not need to register the ID again once
you have done so. Set the COMMANDER to
ID in the menu system, and set the VTR4/ID/
VTR2 selector ID on the Remote Commander to
ID.
•The registered ID is not erased even if the builtin rechageable vanadium-lithium battery gets
discharged.
Slow flashing: The battery is weak.
Fast flashing: The battery is dead.
Depending on conditions, the i indicator
may flash, even if there are 5 to 10 minutes
remaining.
2 The tape is near the end.
The flashing is slow.
3 The tape has run out.
The flashing becomes rapid.
4 No tape has been inserted.
5 The tab on the tape is out (red).
6 Moisture condensation has occurred. (p. 66)
7 The video heads may be contaminated.
(p. 67)
8 The clock is not set.
If the clock is not set when you press START/
STOP button in the CAMERA mode, the
message appears for 5 seconds.
