Phenomenon Inherent to CCD Cameras
Smears
Smears may appear when shooting an object with very
high brightness.
This phenomenon becomes more obvious as the
electronic shutter speed becomes faster.
Replacing the Backup Battery
The camera is shipped from the factory with a backup
battery already mounted.
When the battery runs out, the [BACK UP BATT EMPTY]
display appears on the viewfinder screen for 5 seconds
after the power switch is turned ON.
The internal clock stops operating when the battery runs
out. Also, the TCG time code value returns to
[00:00:00:00], and the time code backup is disabled. The
battery must be replaced.
Please consult your distributor for replacement with a new
battery (CR2032).
The backup battery is visible when the panel on the LCD
monitor side is removed (right side when viewed from the
front).
Note
Please contact the store where you purchased the
camera when replacing the battery.
