Attaching/Removing the PHU-60K/ 120K/120R

Recording/playback can be made using the PHU­60K/120K/120R in the same manner as with SxS
memory cards if you connect the PHU connection
cable of the PHU-60K/120K/120R to an SxS
memory card slot of the camcorder.

To mount the hard disk unit on the
camcorder

By using the cold shoe kit (an auxiliary shoe, four
screws, and a bottom plate) supplied with the
camcorder, you can mount the hard disk unit on
the accessory fitting shoe of the camcorder.

Foreword / Using a External Hard Disk

1 Secure the auxiliary shoe to the

accessory fitting shoe with the four
screws.

Auxiliary shoe

Accessory
fitting shoe

To connect the PHU connection cable

1 Open the cover of the card slot block

and insert the PHU connection cable
into a slot.

2 Fit the bottom plate (spring type) into

the auxiliary shoe.

Slits for screw holes

Bottom plate

Insert the bottom plate from the end where
the slits for the screw holes of the auxiliary
shoe are not open.
If you secure the auxiliary shoe in the
direction opposite that shown in the above
figure with the slit open end forward, insert
the bottom plate from the direction opposite
to that shown in the figure.

3 Attach the shoe adapter (supplied with

the PHU-60K/120K/120R) to the hard
disk unit, mount the unit to the
auxiliary shoe on the camcorder, and
secure it with the lock lever of the shoe
adapter.

For details, refer to the Operating Instructions
of the PHU-60K/120K/120R.

Insert so that the cable extends upward.

2 Turn on the PHU-60K/120K/120R.

The POWER indicator of the PHU-60K/
120K/120R lights in green.
Subsequently, the ACCESS lamp of the
camcorder lights in orange then changes to
green once the unit is ready for use.

Notes

• The cover of the card slot block cannot be closed with
the PHU-60K/120K/120R connected.

• Bundle the cable so that i t will not accidentally become
entangled with nearby objects.

To disconnect the PHU connection cable

Operate in the same manner as when you remove
an SxS memory card from the slot.

Formatting the PHU-60K/120K/ 120R

To format a PHU-60K/120K/120R when
you connect it

When you connect an unformatted PHU-60K/
120K/120R, or connect a PHU-60K/120K/120R
that is formatted to different specifications, or
power the camcorder on with an unformatted
PHU-60K/120K/120R connected, or exit mass
storage mode with an unformatted PHU-60K/
120K/120R connected, a message appears on the
viewfinder screen asking if you want to format
the device.

Operating from the RM-B150/B750

When the RM-B150 or RM-B750 Remote
Control Unit is connected, some camcorder
functions can be controlled from the RM-B150/
B750.
You can use the RM-B750’s display or a video
monitor connected to the MONITOR connector
of the RM-B150/B750 to control the camcorder
by menu operations and monitor the camcorder
picture.

To connect

Using the remote cable (10 m (33 ft)) supplied
with the RM-B150/B750, connect between the
REMOTE connector (8-pin) of the camcorder an d
the camera connector of the RM-B150/B750.
When you turn on the camcorder after the
connection, the camcorder ente rs Remote Control
mode.

You can control menu and recording operations
from the RM-B150/B750.

For the functions that can be controlled from the
RM-B150/B750, see “Functions That Can Be
Controlled from the RM-B150/B750” on page 11.

Notes

• Remote Control operations cannot be made if USB
connection to the camcorder is enabled.

• Do not connect or disconnect the RM-B150/B750
when the camcorder is on.

The following controls of the camcorder becomes

ASSIGNABLE 5 switch (when
MAINTENANCE >Camera Config >RM Rec
Start in the setup menu is set to RM).

To connect the monitor to the RM-B150/
B750

The MONITOR connector (BNC type) of the
RM-B150/B750 outputs a composite signal. To
connect a m onitor to the MONITO R connector on
the RM-B150/B750, use the black cable supplied
with the RM-B150/B750.

To release Remote Control mode

Turn off the camcorder and disconnect the RM­B150/B750.
The settings on the controls on the camcorder
become valid.

Camera image quality adjustment items
when the RM-B150/B750 is connected

When the RM-B150/B750 is connected, the
parameters for camera image quality adjustment
items (paint data) are reset to the parameters that
were specified the last time that RM-B150/B750
was connected.

Structure of the paint adjustment data

The non-volatile memory of the camcorder used
for storing paint adjustment data consists of two
regions as shown below: one is the “main data
block” that is used when a remote control unit is
not connected, and the other is the “remote
control data block” that is used when a remote
control unit is connected. Paint adjustment data is
automatically selected and output to the camera
section depending on whether or not a remote
control unit such as the RM-B150 is connected.

Function of the recording start/stop
buttons when the RM-B150/B750 is
connected

When the RM-B150/B750 is connected, you can
make a setting to determine which of the
recording start/stop buttons you will use. This
setting is made using MAINTENANCE >Camera
Config >RM Rec Start in the setup menu.

When a remote control unit is connected to the

When the remote control unit is disconnected

remote control unit was connected.

settings on the remote control unit. Thus, the
settings of the paint data made with the remote
control unit can be retained even if the remote
control unit is removed. However, if the switch
position on the remote control unit differs from
the one on the camcorder, the switch position on
the camcorder takes precedence over that on the
remote control unit.
Also, it is possible to keep the settings that are in
effect before you connect the remote control unit.
In this case, you should set the control knob to the
relative value mode on the remote control unit.

For details, refer to the Operation Manual supplied
with the remote control unit.
