Notes on Use
Before Use
If you find condensation before use, turn on the power after leaving it out for
long enough.
Power supply
The SSC-N12/N14 operates on DC 12 V power.
- When connecting the transformer, be sure to connect each lead to the
appropriate terminal. Wrong connection may cause malfunction and/or
damage to the video camera.
Handing of the unit
Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or allow combustible or
metallic objects to fall inside the body. If used with a foreign object inside, the
camera is liable to fail, or be a cause of fire or electric shock.
Data and security
Always make a test recording, and verify that it was recorded successfully. SONY
WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, COMPENSATION OR REIMBURSEMENT ON ACCOUNT OF FAILURE OF THIS
UNIT OR ITS RECORDING MEDIA, EXTERNAL STORAGE SYSTEMS OR ANY OTHER
MEDIA OR STORAGE SYSTEMS TO RECORD CONTENT OF ANY TYPE.
Personal information
The images taken by the system using this device can identify individuals

and thus they fall under "personal information" stipulated in the "Act on the
Protection of Personal Information". Please handle the video data appropriately
according to law.
Information recorded using this product may also be "personal information".

Upon disposal, transfer, repair, or any other occasion where this product or
storage media is passed on to a third party, practice due care in its handling.
Operating or storage location
Do not shoot an extremely bright object (an illumination, the sun, etc.). Also,
avoid operating or storing the camera in the following locations, as these can be
a cause of a malfunction.
Extremely hot or cold places (Operating temperature: –10°C to +50°C [14°F to

122°F])
Exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, or close to heating equipment (e.g.,

near heaters)
Close to sources of strong magnetism

Close to sources of powerful electromagnetic radiation, such as radios or TV

transmitters
Locations subject to vibration or shock

Humid or dusty locations

Locations exposed to rain

Locations under the influence of fluorescent light or reflection of a window

Under an unsteady light (the image will flicker.)

Where it is subject to moisture.

Where it is subject to fume and swear.

Ventilation
To prevent heat buildup, do not block air circulation around the camera.
Transportation
When transporting the camera, repack it as originally packed at the factory or in
materials of equal quality.
Cleaning
Use a blower to remove dust from the lens.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external surfaces of the camera. Stubborn

stains can be removed using a soft cloth dampened with a small quantity of
detergent solution, then wipe dry.
Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, benzene or thinners as they may

damage the surface finishes.
Other
When the iBLC switch is set to ON, "hunting" may occur; that is, the image may

become darker and lighter as the camera "hunts" for the optimum exposure
level. If hunting occurs, set the iBLC menu to OFF.
When the CRS function is set to ON, Auto White Balance may be overly

sensitive, or hunting may occur in some cases.
The focus may be less sharp under near infrared light than under visible light.

The best camera performance may not be obtained under near infrared light

due to the lens coating.
Note on laser beams
Laser beams may damage the CCDs. If you shoot a scene that includes a laser beam,
be careful not to let a laser beam become directed into the lens of the camera.
In the event of any problems with the operation of the camera, contact your
Sony dealer.
Location and Function of Part

6 Not use
1: AGC (Automatic Gain Control) switch (Initial setting: ON)
Use this switch to increase the gain of the video amplifier when set to ON.
2: iBLC (Intelligent Backlight Compensation) ON/OFF switch (Initial
setting: OFF)
Use this switch to adjust the exposure to compensate for situations where
the subject is lit from behind.
3: ATR-Lite (Lite Adaptive Tone Reproduction) switch (Initial setting:
OFF)
When the switch is set to ON, the camera will adjust the tone
automatically in accordance to the difference between bright and dark.
4: CRS (Color Rolling Suppressor) switch (Initial setting: OFF)
When the switch is set to ON, the camera will reduce color rolling.
Note
If color rolling still occurs with CRS ON, try setting the "iBLC" and "ATR-Lite"
switches to ON also.
5: D/N (Day/Night) switch (Initial setting: OFF)
Choose the modes of D/N:
D/N mode (when the switch is set to AUTO): switch to the color mode
when in a high bright environment; switch to the black mode when in a
low light environment.
