Precautions
On the video camera recorder
Take care not to expose the equipment to salty air. Do not
drip water on the equipment.
• Do not open the marine pack while at sea or at the
seaside. Preparations such as installing and checking the
equipment should be made in a place with low humidity
and no salty air.
• When a video camera recorder is to be used near the sea
for a long time, we recommend that it be checked
periodically by a Sony dealer.
• If the equipment becomes wet, take it immediately to the
nearest Sony dealer for preventive maintenance.
On the video camera recorder power source
We recommend you use battery packs with a large capacity.
However, in some cases battery packs NP-99/4500/F930
cannot be attached to the video camera recorder.
On the marine pack
• If you open and join the front and rear shells in a place
with high temperature and high humidity, moisture
condensation may occur when you put the marine pack in
the water, causing the front glass to fog.
• The waterproof integrity of the marine pack is maintained
by the O-ring, and the groove and surface where it
touches. Be especially careful not to damage or deform
that area.
• Do not leave the marine pack under direct sunlight for a
long period of time, otherwise the temperature in the
marine pack may rise and the equipment inside may be
damaged.
• If you cannot avoid leaving the marine pack under direct
sunlight, be sure to cover the marine pack with a towel or
other protection.
• Do not throw the marine pack into the water. Lower it
gently into the water.
On maintenance
After recording in the sea, submerge the marine pack with
the buckles tightly fastened in fresh water for a while to
remove the sea water. Then rinse it with fresh water and dry
it with a soft cloth.
• Every time you use the marine pack and the video camera
recorder underwater, clean the video camera recorder and
the inside of the marine pack with a dry soft cloth. Do not
use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine for
cleaning, as this may damage the finish.
• When you store the marine pack, grease the O-ring and
put it in the groove correctly. Join the front and rear shells
then put in a cool place without fastening the buckles.
Avoid storing the marine pack in a hot or very cold place,
in a place subject to direct sunlight or excessive dust, or
together with naphthalene or camphor as. This will
damage the marine pack.
• If water comes between the rear shell and the rubber part,
remove the rubber and clean it with a dry soft cloth.
On transportation
• When transporting the marine pack, be sure to remove
the video camera recorder from the marine pack.
• When transporting the marine pack by air or by car, use a
marine pack carrying case (not supplied).
On recording underwater
• Check that the equipment operates correctly and that
there is no water leak at a depth of about one meter (3
feet) before you dive deeper.
• Be sure to follow the safety rules for diving, such as
diving period and depth.
• Remove the bubbles from the outside of the front glass.
Sony does not accept liability for damage to the video
camera recorder, battery, etc. in the marine pack or for
the loss of prerecorded material if a water leak caused by
incorrect operation occurs.

Underwater recording
Recording underwater is different from recording on land
because it is affected by the clarity, depth of the water and
the light conditions. The following are hints for good
recording underwater.
Color characteristics underwater
Water absorbs light, especially red light, so that objects in
deep water are seen as bluish. The color of objects is affected
by the clarity of the water.
Best time for recording
The best recording time is from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
When the sun its highest, optimum results can be obtained.
Subject size underwater
Since the refractive index underwater is higher than that in
air, an object appears 1/4 more closer, and therefore larger.
This phenomenon affects the lens on the video camera
recorder as well as the human eye. Using a wide-conversion lens (not supplied) is recommended.
Camera work In slow and stable motion
Underwater video light
In deep water or under rocks where direct sunlight does not
reach, recording with an underwater video light is
recommended.
To record at night, use a powerful underwater video light.
Underwater video light
such as Sony HVL-M20/ML20/80DA (not
supplied)
When recording, keep your body stable.
An unstable shot will be magnified on the TV screen. Move
the video camera recording as slowly as possible. As most
of the object underwater move, you can record a good
programme without moving the video camera recorder.

Précautions
A propos du camescope
Veiller à ne pas exposer le camescope aux embruns marins
et à ne pas le mouiller.
• Eviter d’ouvrir le Marine Pack en mer ou sur une plage.
Les préparatifs, tels que la mise en place et la vérification
de l’appareil, doivent être effectués dans un endroit sec et
à l’abri de l’air marin.
• Si le camescope doit être utilisé en mer pendant
longtemps, il est conseillé de le faire vérifier
régulièrement par un revendeur Sony.
• Si le camescope a été mouillé, l’emporter immédiatement
chez le revendeur Sony pour le faire contrôler.
Source d’alimentation du camescope
Nous vous conseillons d’utiliser des batteries rechargeables
ayant une grande capacité. Cependant avec certains
camescopes, les batteries rechargeables NP-99/4500/F930
ne peuvent pas être utilisées.
A propos du Marine Pack
• Si le Marine Pack est plongé dans l’eau après avoir été
ouvert et scellé dans un endroit très chaud et très humide,
une condensation d’eau risque de se produire qui peut
embuer le verre.
• L’étanchéité du Marine Pack dépend du joint torique ainsi
que de la rainure et de la surface avec lesquels il est en
contact. Veiller tout particulièrement à ne pas
endommager ou déformer ces pièces.
• Ne pas laisser le Marine Pack en plein soleil pendant une
durée prelongée, car l’élévation de la température interne
peut endommager le camescope qui se trouve à
l’intérieur.
• Si le Marine Pack doit être laissé en plein soleil, prendre
soin de le recouvrir d’une serviette ou autre.
• Ne pas jeter le Marine Pack dans l’eau, mais l’immerger
avec précaution.
Entretien
Après avoir filmé sous l’eau, plonger le Marine Pack, toutes
boucles fermées, pendant un certain temps dans de l’eau
douce. Le rincer ensuite à l’eau douce, puis le sécher avec
un chiffon sec.
• Chaque fois que le Marine Pack est utilisé avec le
camescope sous l’eau, nettoyer le camescope et l’intérieur
du Marine Pack avec un chiffon doux et sec.
Ne pas utiliser de solvants, tels que l’alcool ou la benzine,
pour ne abîmer la finition.
• Avant de ranger le Marine Pack, graisser les joints
toriques puis les insérer comme il faut dans les rainures.
Fermer le Marine Pack et le mettre dans un endroit frais
sans serrer les boucles.
Eviter d’entreposer le Marine Pack dans un endroit très
chaud ou froid, en plein soleil, dans un endroit
poussiéreux ou avec de la naphtaline ou du camphre, car
il pourrait être endommagé.
• Si de l’eau rentre entre la partie arrière et la partie en
caoutchouc, enlever le caoutchouc et le nettoyer avec un
chiffon doux.
Transport
• Avant de transporter le Marine Pack, en retirer le
camescope.
• Pour transporter le Marine Pack en avion ou en voiture,
utiliser une valise de transport (non fournie).
Enregistrement sous-marin
• Avant la plongée, il est conseillé de vérifier que l’appareil
fonctionne et que l’eau ne s’infiltre pas à l’intérieur à un
mètre de profondeur (trois pieds).
• Respecter strictement les règles de plongée, notamment
en ce qui concerne la durée et la profondeur.
• Avant un enregistrement, enlever les bulles sur l’extérieur
du verre avant.
Sony décline toute responsabilité pour les dégâts que le
camescope, la batterie et les autres composants du
Marine Pack ainsi que le matériel enregistré peuvent
avoir subis suite à une infiltration d’eau provenant d’une
utilisation inadéquate.
