socket.

≥If the Cassette is left in the Movie Camera, the

tape sags and deteriorates.

Others

-41-

≥If the Battery is left on the Movie Camera for a

long time, the voltage drops excessively, and

the Battery will not function even after it is

recharged.

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 using the AC Adaptor, 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 you turn the Movie Camera on when

condensation occurs on the head or the tape,

Condensation Indication [3DEW] (yellow or red)

blinks on the Viewfinder or the LCD monitor and

the messages [DEW DETECT] or [EJECT TAPE]

(only when the tape is inserted) appear. In this

case, follow the procedure below.

Blink in yellow:

Dews are slightly adhering on the head or the

tape.

Blink in red:

Dews are adhere on the head or the tape.

1 Remove the tape if it is inserted.

≥It takes about 20 seconds to open the

Cassette Holder. This is not a malfunction.

2 Leave the Movie Camera with the Cassette

Compartment Cover closed to cool or warm

it to the ambient temperature.

When [3DEW] blinks in yellow

≥Leave the Movie Camera for about 30

minutes.

When [3DEW] blinks in red

≥The Power Indicator Lamp blinks for about 1

minute and then the Movie Camera

automatically turns off. Leave it for about 2

to 3 hours.

3 Turn the Movie Camera on again, set it to

the Tape Recording/Playback Mode and

then check if the condensation indication

disappears.

Especially in cold districts, dews may be frozen.

In this case, it may take more time before the

condensation indication disappears.

Watch for Condensation even before the

Condensation Indication is displayed.

≥The condensation indication may not appear

depending on circumstances. When

condensation occurs on the lens or the Movie

Camera, it also may occur on the head and the

tape. Do not open the Cassette Compartment

Cover.

When the Lens is Fogged:

Set the [OFF/ON] 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 fogging disappears

naturally.

ª Video Head Clogging and Care

If the heads (the parts that make contact with the

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

Others

-42-

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.

≥Head cleaning due to dirty heads is not

considered a malfunction of the product. It is not

covered by the warranty.

Periodical Check-up

To maintain the highest image quality, we

recommend replacement of worn parts, such as

heads, etc., after approximately 1000 hours of

use. (This, however, depends on operating

conditions, such as temperature, humidity, dust,

etc.)

ª Optimal Use of the Battery

Battery Characteristics

This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery.

Its ability to generate power is based upon the

chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This

reaction is susceptible to the surrounding

temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature

is too high or too low, the operating time of the

Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is used in

an extremely cold environment, the Battery may

operate only for about 5 minutes. If the Battery

becomes extremely hot, a protective function may

operate, and the Battery may become unusable

for a while.

Be Sure to Detach the Battery after Use

Be sure to detach the Battery from the Movie

Camera. (If it is left attached to the Movie

Camera, a minute amount of current is consumed

even when the Movie Camera power is off.) If the

Battery is left attached to the Movie Camera for a

long time, over-discharge takes place. The

Battery may become unusable after it is charged.

Disposing of an Unusable Battery

≥The Battery has a limited life.

≥Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may

cause an explosion.

Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery

Clean

Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with

dirt, dust, or other substances.

If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see

if the Battery body and terminals are deformed.

Attaching a deformed Battery to the Movie

Camera or AC Adaptor may damage the Movie

Camera or AC Adaptor.

ª Cautions for Storage

Before storing the Movie Camera, take the

Cassette out and detach the Battery.

Store all the components in a dry place with a

relatively stable temperature.

(Recommended Temperature: 15 to 25oC,

Recommended Humidity: 40 to 60%)

Movie Camera

≥Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from

getting into the Camera.

≥Do not leave the Movie Camera in places that

expose it to high temperature.

Battery

≥Extremely high temperatures or low

temperatures will shorten the life of the Battery.

≥If the Battery is kept in smoky or dusty places,

the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions.

≥Do not allow the Battery terminals to come

in contact with metal objects (such as

necklaces, hairpins, etc.). This can result in

a short circuit or heat generation and, if you

touch the Battery in this condition, you may

be badly burned.

≥Store the Battery in a completely discharged

state. To store the Battery for a long period of

time, we recommend you charge it once every

year and store it again after you completely use

up the charged capacity.

Cassette

≥Before storing it, rewind the tape to the

beginning. If the Cassette is left for more than

6 months with the tape stopped midway, the

tape sags (although it depends on the storage

condition). Be sure to rewind to the beginning.

≥Store the Cassette in its case. Dust, direct

sunlight (ultraviolet rays), or humidity may

damage the tape. Dust contains hard mineral

particles, and dusty Cassettes damage the

heads of the Movie Camera and other

components. Develop a habit of returning the

Cassette back to its case.

≥Once every half year, wind the tape to the end

and then rewind it to the beginning. If the

Cassette is left for 1 year or longer without

winding or rewinding, temperature and humidity

changes may cause the Cassette to deform due

to swelling, shrinking, and so forth. The wound

tape may stick to itself.

≥Do not place a Cassette near highly magnetic

substances or equipment.

≥The surface of tape is covered with extremely

minute magnetic particles, upon which signals

are recorded. Magnetic necklaces, toys, etc.,

have magnetic force that is stronger than you

may normally expect, and they may erase the

contents of a recording or may cause noise in

images and sounds.

Others

-43-

ª LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood

LCD Monitor

≥In a place with drastic temperature changes,

condensation may form on the LCD Monitor.

Wipe it with soft dry cloth.

≥If your Movie Camera is extremely cold when

you turn its power on, the image on the LCD

Monitor is slightly darker than usual at first.

However, as the internal temperature increases,

it goes back to the normal brightness.

Viewfinder

≥Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun.

Internal components may be seriously

damaged.

≥When the Movie Camera is used with a large

capacity Battery (CGA-DU14, CGA-DU21;

optional) attached to it, it is not practical to look

in the Viewfinder from behind the Battery.

Lens Hood

≥Do not attach other conversion lenses in front of

the Lens Hood; there is no mount to be used for

the attachment.

≥When you wish to attach the Tele Conversion

Lens (VW-LT2714N2E; optional), Wide

Conversion Lens (VW-LW2707N2E; optional),

MC Protector (VW-LMC27E; optional), or ND

Filter (VW-LND27E; optional), first of all, turn

the Lens Hood counterclockwise. If the MC

Protector or ND Filter is used, the Lens Hood

can be mounted on the filter.

≥If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during

recording with the filter and conversion lens

attached together to the Movie Camera,

4 corners of the image may become dark

(vignetting). For details, please refer to the

operating instructions of your accessories.

Extremely high precision technology is

employed to produce the LCD Monitor

screen featuring a total of approximately

123,000 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.

Extremely high precision technology is

employed to produce the Viewfinder screen

featuring a total of approximately 67,500

pixels. The result is more than 99.99%
