When you use your movie camera in a sandy

or dusty place such as on a beach, do not let

sand or fine dust get into the body and

terminals of the movie camera. Also, protect

the movie camera from getting wet.

≥Sand or dust may damage the movie camera or

cassette. (Care should be taken when inserting

and removing a cassette.)

≥If sea water splashes onto the movie camera,

wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and

use it to wipe the camera body carefully. Then,

wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.

While carrying the movie camera, do not drop

or bump it.

≥A strong impact on the movie camera may

break its housing, causing it to malfunction.

Do not use benzine, paint thinner or alcohol

for cleaning the movie camera.

≥Before cleaning, detach the battery or pull out

the AC mains lead from the AC mains socket.

≥The camera body may be discoloured and the

surface finish may peel off.

≥Wipe the movie camera with a soft dry cloth to

remove dust and fingerprints. To remove

stubborn stains, wring well a cloth that is soaked

in a neutral detergent diluted with water and

wipe the movie camera with it. Afterwards, wipe

it with a dry cloth.

≥When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the

instructions.

Do not use this movie camera for surveillance

purposes or other business use.

≥If you use the movie camera for a long time, the

internal temperature increases and,

consequently, this may cause malfunction.

≥This movie camera is not intended for business

use.

When you are not going to use movie camera

for an extended time

≥When storing the unit in a cupboard or a

cabinet, it is recommended that you put a

desiccant (silica gel) in with it.

About the battery

The battery used in the movie camera is a

rechargeable lithium ion battery. This battery is

susceptible to temperature and humidity, and the

effect of temperature increases with increasing or

decreasing temperature. In the low temperature

range, the fully charged indication may not

appear, or the low battery indication may appear

about 5 minutes after the start of use. At high

temperature, moreover, the protection function

may work, disabling use of the movie camera.

Be sure to detach the battery after use

≥If the battery 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.

≥The battery should be stored in a cool place free

from humidity, with as constant temperature as

possible. (Recommended temperature: 15 oC to

25 oC, Recommended humidity: 40% to 60%)

≥Extremely high temperatures or low

temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.

≥If the battery is kept in a high-temperature, high-

humidity, or oily-smoky places, the terminals

may rust and cause malfunctions.

≥To store the battery for a long period of time, we

recommend you charge it once every year and

store it again after you have completely used up

the charged capacity.

≥Dust and other matter attached to the battery

terminals should be removed.

Prepare spare batteries when going out for

recording.

≥Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4 times the

period during you want to record pictures in. In

cold places such as a ski resort, the period

during which you can record pictures is

shortened.

≥When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC

adaptor so that you can recharge the batteries

at your destination.

If you drop the battery accidentally, check to

see if the terminals are deformed.

≥Attaching a deformed battery to the movie

camera or AC adaptor may damage the movie

camera or AC adaptor.

Do not throw old battery into fire.

≥Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may

result in an explosion.

≥If the operating time is very short even after the

battery has been recharged, the battery has

worn out. Please purchase a new battery.

About the AC adaptor

≥If the battery is warm, charging requires more

time than normal.

≥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 battery temperature has

decreased or increased sufficiently, recharging

starts automatically. So, wait for a while. If the

lamp still continues flashing even after the
