7. Appendix: Usage Precautions
of use, because of the physical characteristics of
the liquid crystal display, such "stuck" pixels may
appear spontaneously.
These problems are not a malfunction.
Note that any such problems have no effect on
recorded data.
OLED Panels
The OLED panel fitted to this unit is manufactured
with high precision technology, giving a
functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a
very small proportion of pixels may be "stuck",
either always off (black), always on, or flashing.
In addition, over a long period of use, because
of the physical characteristics of the organic
light-emitting diode, such "stuck" pixels may
appear spontaneously. These problems are not a
malfunction. Note that any such problems have no
effect on recorded data.
Due to the characteristics of the material used in
the OLED panel, permanent burn-in or reduction
in brightness may occur.
These problems are not a malfunction.
On Condensation
If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm
location, or if ambient temperature suddenly
rises, moisture may form on the outer surface of
the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is known
as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off
the unit and wait until the condensation clears
before operating the unit. Operating the unit while
condensation is present may damage the unit.
Phenomena Specific to CMOS Image
Sensors
The following phenomena that may appear in
images are specific to CMOS (Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensors. They
do not indicate malfunctions.
White flecks
Although the CMOS image sensors are produced
with high-precision technologies, fine white
flecks may be generated on the screen in rare
cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc. This is related
to the principle of image sensors and is not a
malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the
following cases.
ˎ When operating at high environmental ˎ
temperatures
Aliasing
When fine patterns, stripes, or lines are shot, they
may appear jagged or flicker.
Focal plane
Owing to the characteristics of the pickup
elements (CMOS sensors) for reading video signals,
subjects that quickly move across the screen may
appear slightly skewed.
Flashbanding
The luminance at the top and bottom of the
screen may change when shooting a flashlight
beam or a light source that quickly flashes.
Flicker
If recording is made under lighting produced
by discharge tubes, such as fluorescent, sodium,
or mercury-vapor lamps, the screen may flicker,
colors may vary, or horizontal stripes may appear
distorted.
Notes on the Display
ˎ Pictures on the viewfinder screen may be ˎ
distorted by the following operations.
– Changing the video format
ˎ When you change the line of sight in the ˎ
viewfinder, you may see primary colors red,
green, and blue, but this is not a defect of the
unit. These primary colors are not recorded on
any recording media.
Fragmentation
If pictures cannot be recorded/reproduced
properly, try formatting the recording medium.
While repeating picture recording/playback with
a certain recording media for an extended period,
files in the media may be fragmented, disabling
proper recording/storage. In such a case, make
a backup of clips in the media then perform
formatting of the media using TC/Media > Format
Media (page 62) in the menu.
Output Voltages of the Unit
The total output power that can be supplied to
peripheral devices from the unit varies depending
on the input voltage to the unit and the state of
the connected accessories. The maximum output
capacity ratings of the following connectors
that can supply power may not be achieved
depending on the conditions.
LENS connector: 1 A max.
12V OUT connector (4-pin):
0.8 A max. (Input voltage: 22 V to 32 V)
1 A max. (Input voltage: 11 V to 17 V)
24V OUT connector (3-pin):
2 A max. (Input voltage: 22 V to 32 V)
1 A max. (Input voltage: 11 V to 17 V)
The power delivery rating available for accessories
(AXS-R7, DVF-EL200, and CBK-3610XS) and
peripheral devices is limited depending on the
input voltage to the unit.
Voltage of power supply to the unit: X [V]
Total power rating of peripheral devices: Y [W]
Power consumption of the unit: Approx. 60 W
 Power consumption of the AXS-R7: Approx.
24 W
 Power consumption of the DVF-EL200:
Approx. 2.5 W
 Power consumption of the CBK-3610XS:
Approx. 3.9 W
– (60 +  +  + )
Y [W] = X [V] × 9.0 [A]

When supplying power to the above attached
accessories and peripheral devices, make sure that
the value Y given by the equation above does not
become negative.
