7-2 Maintenance
7-2-1 Cleaning Inside the Viewfinder
Do not use thinner or other solvents to remove dirt from
the viewfinder.
Wipe the lens with a commercially available lens cleaner.
Do not wipe the mirror. If dirt or rubbish is sticking on the
mirror, remove it with a commercially available air blower.
7-2-2 Phenomenon Inherent to CCD
Cameras
Smears
Smears may appear when shooting an object with very high
brightness.
This phenomenon may appear more frequently as the
electronic shutter speed increases.
7-2-3 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.
