Miscellaneous/
Care of Unit/Options
Microphone Socket
³If you want to perform audio dubbing via an
external microphone or audio equipment,
connect it to the [MIC] Socket. In this case, the
Movie Camera’s built-in microphone is turned off.
º Repeat Playback
³If you keep the Playback Button [1] pressed for
more than 5 seconds, the Movie Camera
switches over to the Repeat Playback Mode and
the [R !] Indication appears. (To cancel the
Repeat Playback Mode, set the [OFF/ON] Switch
to [OFF].)
º Attaching the Shoulder Strap
Before you go recording outside, we recommend
that you attach the Shoulder Strap to prevent the
Movie Camera from dropping accidentally.
1 Pull the end of the Shoulder Strap through
the Shoulder Strap Holder on the Movie
Camera.
2 Fold the end of the Shoulder Strap back,
pull it first through the loop and then the
Shoulder Strap Length Adjuster.
Pull it out more than 2 cm
from the
Shoulder Strap Length Adjuster so that it
cannot slip off.
º LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood
LCD Monitor (NV-DS15, NV-DS150, NV-DS25
only)
³In places where big changes in temperature
occur, condensation may form on the LCD
Monitor. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
³If the Movie Camera is very cold when it is turned
on, the picture on the LCD Monitor is initially a
little darker than normally. However, as the
internal temperature rises, the LCD Monitor
regains its normal brightness.
³Extremely high precision technology is employed
to produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a
total of approximately 112,000 pixels. The result
is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere
0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit.
However, this is not a malfunction and does not
affect the recorded picture.
Viewfinder
³Extremely high precision technology is employed
to produce the Viewfinder screen featuring a total
of approximately 113,000 pixels. The result is
more than 99.99% active pixels, with a mere
0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit.
However, this is not a malfunction and does not
affect the recorded picture.
³Do not leave the Viewfinder or the Lens aimed at
the sun. This could seriously damage internal
parts.
³If you use a large-capacity Battery (CGP-D320;
optional) attached to the Movie Camera, viewing
the picture in the Viewfinder from behind may not
be practical. In this case, turn up the Viewfinder
to an angle that allows comfortable viewing.
Lens Hood
³Never try to attach any conversion lens onto the
front of the Lens Hood; it does not have a
threaded mount on the front.
³When you want to attach the Tele Conversion
Lens (VW-LT4314WE, optional), the Wide
Conversion Lens (VW-LW4307WE, optional) or a
filter of the Filter Kit (VW-LF43WE, optional), be
sure to first remove the Lens Hood by turning it
counterclockwise. If you attach a filter of the
Filter Kit, you can attach the Lens Hood onto it.
³During recording with a filter or conversions lens
attached, the four corners of the picture may
become dark (vignetting effect), when you push
the [W/T] Zoom Lever toward [W]. For details,
please also read the operating instructions of the
accessory being used.

Cautions for Use
(Continued)
º Optimum Use of the Battery
Special Characteristics of the Battery
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Its ability to generate electric energy is based on
an internal chemical reaction. This reaction is
easily influenced by ambient temperature and
humidity, and the useful operation time that the
Battery can provide becomes shorter at high and
low temperatures. When used in extremely cold
surroundings, the Battery may only be able to
provide approximately 5 minutes of operation time.
If the Battery becomes extremely hot, a protection
function is activated and prevents the use of the
Battery for some time.
After Use, Always Remove the Battery.
Be sure to remove the Battery from the Movie
Camera. (If it is attached to the Movie Camera, a
small amount of electric current is consumed even
if the Movie Camera is turned off.) Leaving the
Battery attached to the Movie Camera for a very
long time could cause it to become excessively
discharged, so that it cannot be used any more
even after charging.
Keep the Battery’ s Terminals Clean.
Be careful that the terminals do not get plugged up
with dust, dirt or other substances.
If you accidentally drop the Battery, confirm that
the Battery itself and the terminals are not
deformed. Attaching a deformed Battery to the
Movie Camera or to the AC Adaptor could damage
the Movie Camera or the AC Adaptor.
Discarding a Battery That Has Become
Unusable
³The usable life of the Battery is limited.
³Do not throw the Battery in a fire because it could
explode.
º Precautions for Storage
Before Storing the Movie Camera, Take out the
Cassette and Remove the Battery.
Store all equipment in a dry place where the
temperature remains relatively constant.
(Recommended temperature is 15°C–25°C and
recommended relative humidity is 40%–60%.)
Movie Camera
³Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust form
entering.
³Never leave the Movie Camera in places with
high temperature.
Battery
³Extremely low or high temperature shortens the
Battery life.
³Storing it in places with oily smoke and a lot of
dust could cause the terminals to get rusty, and
this can result in a malfunction.
³Do not allow metal objects (such as
necklaces and hair pins) to touch the battery
terminals. Short-circuiting may occur and
generate heat, and touching it in this
condition could inflict serious burns.
³Store the Battery in discharged condition. If you
store the Battery for a long time, we recommend
that you charge it once a year and completely
use up the charge before storing it again in
discharged condition.
Cassette
³Rewind the tape to its beginning before storing.
Leaving the cassette with the tape stopped
halfway for more than 6 months (depending on
the storing condition) loosens the tape. Be sure
to rewind it to the beginning.
³Put the cassette in its case to store it.
Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) and
humidity could damage the tape. Dust contains
hard mineral particles and cassettes with dust
damage the video heads and other parts of the
Movie Camera. Make it a habit to always put the
cassette back into its case.
³Completely wind the tape forward and then
rewind it once every half year. Leaving the
cassette for more than a year without winding/
rewinding it may deform the cassette because of
stretching and shrinking of the tape due to
changes in temperature and humidity.
Also, the tape may stick together.
³Do not place the cassette near strongly
magnetized objects or equipment.
³The tape surface is coated with microscopic
magnetic particles and they record signals. Such
objects as magnetic necklaces and toys have
stronger magnetic force than commonly thought,
and this could erase the recorded contents and
cause noise in picture and sound.
MultiMediaCard (NV-DS25 only)
³While the MultiMediaCard is being read, do not
remove it, turn off the power, or subject it to
vibrations and shocks.
³Do not leave the MultiMediaCard in a place with
high temperature, exposed to direct sunlight, or
where electromagnetic waves and static
electricity can be generated.
³Do not bend or drop the MultiMediaCard as this
could damage the MultiMediaCard or the stored
contents.
³After use, be sure to remove the
MultiMediaCard from the Movie Camera.
³After using the MultiMediaCard or when storing
or carrying it, put it in the supplied
MultiMediaCard Case.
³Do not touch the connector on the rear edge of
the MultiMediaCard with your fingers and take
care that no dirt, dust or water enters it.
