Operation of the Camera Powering the camera The A-Cam dll is powered with exchangeable 7,2 volt SONY NP-F770 type batteries. A fully charged bat- tery in good condition gives a standby/recording time of about 1 hour. When a battery is running low, the camera will indicate “WARNING LOW BAT”.

If a memory card with corrupted metadata is inserted to the camera, you will be prompted to enter RECOVERY mode. The recovery mode will temporarily recreate the metadata of the card in the camera memory so that the takes can be downloaded thru the camera USB port.
