ª About AC Adaptor

≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely

high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp

may continue flashing, and the Battery may not

be charged. After the temperature of the Battery

has decreased or increased sufficiently,

charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE]

Lamp continues to flash even after the Battery

temperature has decreased or increased

sufficiently, the Battery or AC Adaptor may be

faulty. In this case, please contact a dealer.

≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer

time than normal.

≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio

reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC

Adaptor 1 metre or more away from radio.

≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate

whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Mains Lead

from the AC mains socket. (If they are left

connected, a minute amount of current is

consumed.)

≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and

Battery always clean.

ª Condensation

If the Condensation Indication flashes after the

Movie Camera is turned on, condensation has

formed inside the Movie Camera. In this case, the

Movie Camera power is turned off automatically

after about 1 minute.

Follow the steps below:

1 Take out the Cassette.

≥None of the other functions operate.

Depending on the amount of condensation,

removing the Cassette may even become

difficult. If this happens, wait for 2 to 3 hours

before taking the Cassette out.

2 Open the Cassette Compartment Cover and

wait for 2to 3hours.

≥The number of hours to wait depends on the

amount of condensation and ambient

temperature.

3 2 to 3 hours later, turn on the Movie Camera

power and check to see if the Condensation

Indication is displayed.

≥Even if the Condensation Indication is not

displayed, as a precaution, please wait for

another hour before using the Movie Camera.

Watch for Condensation even before the

Condensation Indication is displayed.

≥Because condensation takes place gradually,

the Condensation Indication may not be

displayed during the first 10 to 15 minutes of

condensation formation inside the Movie

Camera.

≥In extremely cold places, condensation may

freeze and form frost. In this case, the frost

melts first, thus forming condensation, and then

it takes another 2 to 3 hours to eliminate the

condensation.

When the Lens is Fogged:

Set the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch to [OFF] and

leave the Movie Camera in this condition for

about 1 hour. When the lens temperature

becomes close to the ambient temperature, the

fog disappears naturally.

ª Video Head Clogging and Care

If the heads (the parts that make contact with

tape) are dirty, mosaic-pattern noise may appear

on the playback image, or the screen as a whole

becomes black. If the heads are extremely dirty,

recording performance deteriorates, and, in the

worst case, the Movie Camera cannot record at

all.

Causes of Dirty Heads

≥Large quantity of dust in the air

≥High-temperature and high-humidity

environment

≥Damaged tape

≥Long operating hours

Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head

Cleaner

1 Insert the Head Cleaner into the Movie

Camera in the same manner as a Video

Cassette.

2 Press the [1] Button, and approximately

20 seconds later, press the [∫] Button. (Do

not rewind the tape.)

3 Take out the Head Cleaner. Insert a Video

Cassette and start recording. Then, play the

tape back to check the recorded image.

4 If the image is not still clear, repeat

Steps 1 to 3. (Do not use the Head Cleaner

for 3 times or more consecutively.)

Notes:

≥Do not rewind every time you use the Head

Cleaner. Rewind only when the tape reaches

the end, and then use it again from the

beginning in the same manner as before.

≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning,

the tape may be damaged. In this case,

immediately stop using that Cassette.

≥Do not clean the heads excessively. (Excessive

cleaning may cause excessive wear of the

heads. If the heads are worn, images cannot be

played back even after the heads are cleaned.)

≥If the dirty heads cannot be cleaned with the

Head Cleaner, the Movie Camera needs to be

cleaned at a service centre. Please consult a

dealer.

≥Video Head Cleaners can be purchased from

service centres.
