Notes and Hints

ª Concerning the Power Supply
≥When the Movie Camera is used for a long time,
the Camera body becomes warm, but this is not
a malfunction.
≥If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light up
although the Battery is attached to the AC
Adaptor, detach the Battery and reattach it.
ª Inserting/Removing the Cassette
≥In the case of using a previously recorded
Cassette, you can use the Camera Search
Function to find the position where you want to
continue recording.
≥If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the
beginning of the tape before starting recording.
≥When inserting the cassette, make sure it faces
in the right direction and then push it in until it
stops.
≥When the Cassette Holder is in action, do not
touch anything except the [PUSH CLOSE]
Button.
≥When closing the Cassette Compartment
Cover, do not get anything caught in the cover,
such as a cable of an optional stereo
microphone.

[OTHER FUNCTIONS1] Sub-Menu on the
[CAMERA FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu is set to
[ON], confirmation/alarm beeps are issued as
follows.

ª Recording Check
≥For Recording Check, the recording speed
mode (SP/LP) must be the same as the mode
used for the recording. If different, playback
images will be distorted.
ª Camera Search
≥In Camera Search Mode, images may contain
mosaic-pattern noise. This is a phenomenon
that is characteristic of digital video and not a
malfunction.
≥If the recording speed modes (SP/LP) of
previous recording and new recording are
different, playback images may be distorted.
