Preparations

Power Supply

You can use a battery pack or AC power via an AC adaptor.

Preparations

For safety, use only the Sony battery packs and AC adaptor listed below:

Lithium-ion Battery Pack

BP-U30 BP-U60 BP-U60T BP-U90

Battery Charger/AC Adaptor

BC-U1 BC-U2

WARNING

Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

AVERTISSEMENT

N’exposez pas les batteries à une chaleur excessive, au soleil ou près d’un feu par exemple.

WARNUNG

Akkus dürfen keinesfalls übermäßiger Wärmeeinwirkung ausgesetzt werden, wie z.B. Sonneneinstrahlung, Feuer o. ä.

Note

The AC adaptor cannot be connected to the camcorder while the battery pack is inserted.

Using a Battery Pack

Fully insert the battery pack into the battery pack receptacle (page 10), then slide it down to lock it. To remove the battery pack, press and hold the BATT RELEASE button (page 10), slide the battery pack upward to unlock it, then pull it out.

Notes

• Before use, charge the battery pack with the supplied BC-U1 or BC-U2 Battery Charger.

• A warm b attery pack immediately after us e may not be able to be fully recharged.

• The high-capacity BP-U90 Battery Pack is large, and protrudes from the camcorder when attached. When using the camcorder with the BP-U90 attached for extended recording periods, Sony recommends attaching the camcorder to a tripod for convenience.

Checking battery charge remaining

When recording or playback is in progress on the battery pack, an icon to show the current battery charge level and usage time remaining are displayed on the LCD monitor/viewfinder screen (“Preparations” in operating instructions (PDF)).

Icon Remaining

100% to 91%

90% to 71%

70% to 51%

50% to 31%

30% to 11%

10% to 0%

The camcorder indicates the remaining usage time in minutes by calculating the available time with the battery pack if operation is continued at the current rate of power consumption.

If the battery charge remaining becomes low

If the battery charge remaining decreases to a certain level during operation (Low BATT status), a low-battery message, flashing of the tally lamps, and a beep sound will warn you. If the remaining further decreases to a level at which operation cannot be continued (BATT Empty status), a battery-empty message appears. Replace the battery pack with one that is fully charged.

To change the message levels

The Low BATT level is set to 10% of full charge, and the BATT Empty level is set to 3% of full charge at the factory. These settings can be changed with “Battery Alarm” (“Menu Configuration and Detailed Settings” in operating instructions (PDF)) in the OTHERS menu.

1 Connect the DC power output cable of

the BC-U1 to the DC IN connector of the camcorder.

2 Connect the powe r cord of the BC-U1 to

an AC power source.

3 Set the mode switch of the BC-U1 to the

DC OUT position.

Turning the Power On/Off

To turn the power on, set the power switch (page

10) to the ON position (the ? position). To turn the

power off, set the power switch to the OFF position (the 1 position).

Notes

• This camcorder uses a little standby power even when the power switch is set to OFF. Remove the battery pack if the camcorder will not be used for a prolonged period.

• When removing the battery pack or the DC IN power, be sure to first set the power switch to the OFF position. Removing the battery pack or the DC IN power while the camcorder is ON may cause damage to the camcorder or the SxS memory card.

Setting the time and date

Press the up/down/left/right buttons (page 11) or turn the jog dial (page 11) to move the cursor, then press the SEL/SET button or the jog dial to set each menu item. When you press the SEL/ SET button or the jog dial when the cursor is on “Finish,” the Initial Setting display disappears and the clock setting is completed.

After the Initial Setting disp lay disappears, “Ti me Zone” and “Clock Set” (“Menu Configuration and Detailed Settings” in operating instructions (PDF)) in the OTHERS menu can be used to set “Time Zone” and “Date/Time.”

Notes

• If the clock setting is cleared because of exhaustion of the backup battery while no operation power was being supplied (no battery pack and no DC IN connection), the Initial Setting display will be displayed when you turn the camcorder on at the next opportunity.

• While the Initial Setting display is shown, no other operation except turning the power off is permitted until you finish the setting for this display.

Setting the Clock

Adjusting the LCD Monitor and Viewfinder

Adjusting the LCD Monitor

Preparations

The LCD monitor turns on when it is opened and turns off when it is returned to the park position.

Adjusting the angle

It can be rotated as much as 90 degrees in the direction facing the subject and as much as 180 degrees in the opposite direction. When you rotate it 90 degrees toward the subject, the image on the monitor becomes upside down, indicating the mirror image of the subject. The display direction of the textual information is converted to the readable direction.

You can change the setting so that the EVF is always on regardless of the status in the LCD monitor, using “EVF” (“Menu Configuration and Detailed Settings” in operating instructions (PDF)) in the LCD/VF SET menu. Change the “Power” setting from “Auto” to “On.”

Adjusting the focus in the EVF

The eyepiece focusing (diopter compensation) knob (page 10) (PMW-200) / (page 10) (PMW-

100) enables adjustment to match the eyesight of

the operator, who can then view the image clearly through the eyepiece.

Adjusting the backlight

The brightness of the backlight for the EVF can be switched between High and Low. Set “Backlight” in “EVF” (“Menu Configuration and Detailed Settings” in operating instructions (PDF)) in the LCD/VF SET menu.

Adjusting the color, contrast, and brightness

These adjustments can be made using “LCD” (“Menu Configuration and Detailed Settings” in operating instructions (PDF)) in the LCD/VF SET menu. These adjustments of the LCD monitor have no effect on pictures being recorded.

Adjusting the Viewfinder

If the picture on the LCD monitor is hard to view under bright ambient light, you can use the viewfinder to check the picture.

Caution

Do not leave the camcorder with the eyepiece of the viewfinder facing the sun. Direct sunlight can enter through the eyepiece, be focused in the viewfinder, and cause fire.

Hereafter the viewfinder is referred to as “EVF” (abbreviation of Electronic Viewfinder).

Turning the EVF on/off

With the factory setting, the EVF is turned on when the LCD monitor is in its park position or is rotated to face the subject.

Adjusting the contrast and brightness

Use “EVF” (“Menu Configuration and Detailed Settings” in operating instructions (PDF)) in the LCD/VF SET menu to make adjustments. Adjusting the brightness and other items has no effect on pictures being recorded.

Note

The SLOT SELECT button is disabled while playback is in progress. Switching is not executed even if you press the button. The button is enabled while the thumbnail screen is displayed (“Playback” in operating instructions (PDF)).

Formatting an SxS Memory Card

For an SxS memory card that is not formatted or that was formatted with another system, the message “Unsupported File System” is displayed on the LCD monitor/EVF screen. Format the card as instructed in “To execute formatting” below.

To execute formatting

Using “Format Media” (“Menu Configuration and Detailed Settings” in operating instructions (PDF)) in the OTHERS menu, specify “Media(A)” (slot A) or “Media(B)” (slot B) then select “Execute.” On a confirmation message, select “Execute” again.

The in-progress message and status bar (%) are displayed, and the ACCESS lamp lights in red. When formatting is completed, the completion message is displayed for three seconds.

Recording/playback during formatting

You can perform recording or playback using the SxS memory card in the other card slot while formatting is in progress.

If formatting fails

A write-protected SxS memory card or memory card that cannot be used with this camcorder will not be formatted. As a warning message is displayed, replace the card with an appropriate SxS memory card, as per the instructions in the message.

Notes

• Use the format function of this camcorder to format SxS memory cards for use on this camcorder. The formats of cards formatted on other devices are not recognized as valid formats, making it necessary to format them again on this camcorder.

• All the data, including recorded pictures and setup files, are erased when a memory card is formatted.

Checking the Remaining Time Available for Recording

While recording (or standing by to record), you can check the time remainin g for the SxS memory cards loaded in the card slots on the LCD monitor/EVF screen (“Preparations” in operating instructions (PDF)). The available time for recording with the current video format (recording bit rate) is calculated according to the remaining space of each card and displayed in time units of minutes. The remaining can also be checked in a meter format on the Battery/Media status screen (“Status Displays” in operating instructions (PDF)).

Note

A icon appears if the memory card is writeprotected.

Replacing an SxS memory card

• If the available time on two cards in total becomes less than 5 minutes, a message “Media Near Full,” flashing of the tally lamps, and a beep sound will warn you. Replace the cards with those with sufficient space.

• If you continue recording until the total remaining time reaches zero, the message changes to “Media Full,” and recording stops.

Note

Approximately 600 clips can be recorded on one SxS memory card at maximum. If the number of recorded clips reaches the limit, the remaining time indication becomes “0,” and the message “Media Full” is displayed.

Restoring an SxS Memory Card

If an error occurs with data in a memory card for some reason, the card must be restored.

If restoration fails

• A write-protected SxS memory card or one on which an error occurred cannot be restored. For such a card, a warning message is displayed. Release the write protection or replace the card, as per the instructions in the message.

• An SxS memory card on which an error occurred may become usable again through repeated formatting.

• In some cases, only parts of clips cannot be restored. Playback of the restored clips becomes possible again.

• The following operation may restore an SxS memory card for which the message “Could not Restore Some Clips” is repeatedly displayed each time you try the restoration process:

1 Copy necessary clips to another SxS memory

card, using the copy function (“Playback” in operating instructions (PDF)) of the camcorder or the dedicated application software (supplied) (“Connecting External Devices” in operating instructions (PDF)).

2 Format the problem SxS memory card, using

the format function of this camcorder.

3 Return the necessary clips to the SxS

memory card by copy operation.

Recording/playback during restoration

You can perform recording or playback using the SxS memory card in the other card slot while restoration is in progress.

Note

For restoration of media recorded with this unit, be sure to use this unit. Media recorded with a device other than this unit or with another unit of different version (even of the same model) may not be restored using this unit.

The default setting of “A uto Naming” is “Plan.” With this setting, a clip name defined in planning metadata is applied if a planning metadata file is loaded into the camcorder. Change the “Auto Naming” setting to “Title” to apply a clip name composed of 4 to 46 alphanumerics and 4 numerics. Example: ABCD0001 The block of 4 to 46 alphanumerics can be specified as desired using “Clip” in the OTHERS menu before you start recording. (It cannot be changed after recording.) The value of the 4 numerics is automatically counted up in sequence.

Basic Operation Procedure

Page 23

Notes on Clips

The maximum file size for a clip is 43 GB for UDF, 4 GB for FAT in HD Mode, and 2 GB for FAT in SD Mode. If you continue recording for an extended period, recorded materials may be segmented into multiple files, depending on the file size (the maximum number of partitions is

99). The camcorder regards continuous recording as one clip even if it has been segmented into multiple files. A long clip can be recorded crossing over two memory cards in slot A and B. When you copy recorded clips to a hard disk, etc., via computer, it is recommended to use the dedicated application software, which you need to download, to maintain the continuity of recorded materials. For details, see “Software Downloads” (page 31).

Note

If copying is done using Explorer (Windows) or Finder (MAC), the continuity and relationships of recorded materials may not be maintained.

Maximum duration of a clip

The maximum clip length is 24 hours for FAT (MP4 or AVI) and 6 hours for UDF (MXF). If you exceed the maximum clip length, a new clip will be automatically created. You can check the new clip on the thumbnail screen.
