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 AC Adaptor, detach the Battery and
reattach it.
≥Battery CGP-D110 and CGP-D105 cannot be charged with
this AC Adaptor.
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 opening or closing the Cassette Compartment, push
down the buckle of the Grip Belt so that it does not
obstruct the opening and closing of the Cassette
Compartment.
ª Alarm Sounds
When [BEEP SOUND] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS]
Sub-Menu on the [CAMERA FUNCTIONS] Main-Menu is set
to [ON], confirmation/alarm beeps are issued as follows.
1 Beep
≥When you start recording
≥When you switch the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch from [OFF]
to [ON]
2 Beeps
≥When you pause recording
10 Beeps
≥If you perform a wrong operation before or during recording
ª Recording
≥Before turning on the power, remove the Lens Cap. If the
Lens Cap is still attached when the power is turned [ON],
Automatic White Balance Adjustment ( l 101) may not
function correctly.
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.
ª Photoshot
≥Photoshot Recording results in slightly inferior image
quality.
ª Progressive Photoshot Function
≥The still pictures are recorded at a slightly rewound point
from where you press the [PHOTO SHOT] Button.
≥When you change to the Still Picture Mode, you will hear a
click. This is the sound of the iris closing and not an
indication of malfunction.
≥If you record still pictures in Progressive Photoshot Mode
when your Movie Camera is set to Programme AE ( l 72) ,
the brightness of the images may change.
