Cleaning the Viewfinder
Use a dust blower to clean the CRT screen and
mirror inside the viewfinder barrel.
Clean the lens and protecting filter with a
commercially available lens cleaner.
[Note]
Never use organic solvents such as thinners.
Note about the Battery Terminals
The battery terminal of this unit (the connector
for battery packs and AC adaptors) is a
consumable part.
Power may not be supplied to the unit
properly if the pins of the battery terminal are
bent or deformed by shock or vibrations, or
if they become corroded due to prolonged
outdoor use.
Periodic inspections are recommended to
keep the unit working properly and to prolong
its usable lifetime.
Contact a Sony service or sales representative
for more information about inspections.
Exchanging the Battery of the
Internal Clock
The camcorder's internal clock is powered
by a lithium battery. If the message "BackUp
Battery End" appears in the viewfinder, this
battery must be exchanged. Contact a Sony
service representative.
