replaced, the mode is automatically reset to

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.

the Battery is attached to AC Adaptor, detach the
Battery and reattach it.

charged with this AC Adaptor.

beginning of the tape before starting recording.

the right direction and then push it in until it stops.
