cleaning the Movie Camera.
≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC
Adaptor 1 metre or more away from radio.
≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate
whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Mains Lead
from the AC mains socket. (If they are left
connected, a minute amount of current is
consumed.)
≥The camera body may be deformed and the
surface finish may peel off.
≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and
Battery always clean.
≥Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out
the AC Mains Lead from the AC mains socket.
≥Wipe the Movie Camera with a soft dry cloth. To
remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is
soaked in a detergent diluted with water and
afterward finish wiping with a dry cloth.
≥For storing or transporting the Movie Camera,
place it in a bag or case lined with soft pads so
as to prevent the coating on the camera body
from being worn.
After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and
detach the Battery from the Movie Camera or
pull out the AC Mains Lead from AC mains
socket.
≥If the Cassette is left in the Movie Camera, the
tape sags and deteriorates.
ªCondensation
If the Condensation Indication flashes after the
Movie Camera is turned on, condensation has
formed inside the Movie Camera. In this case, the
Movie Camera power is turned off automatically
after about 1 minute.
Follow the steps below:
1
Take out the Cassette.
≥None of the other functions operate.
Depending on the amount of condensation,
removing the Cassette may even become
difficult. If this happens, wait for 2 to 3 hours
before taking the Cassette out.
2
3
Open the Cassette Compartment
Cover and wait for 2 to 3 hours.
≥The number of hours to wait depends on the
amount of condensation and ambient
temperature.
≥If the Battery is left on the Movie Camera for a
long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the
Battery will not function even after it is
recharged.
2 to 3 hours later, turn on the Movie
Camera power and check to see if the
Condensation Indication is displayed.
≥Even if the Condensation Indication is not
displayed, as a precaution, please wait for
another hour before using the Movie
Camera.
51
Watch for Condensation even before the
Condensation Indication is displayed.
≥Because condensation takes place gradually,
the Condensation Indication may not be
displayed during the first 10 to 15 minutes of
condensation formation inside the Movie
Camera.
Notes:
≥Do not rewind every time you use the Head
Cleaner. Rewind only when the tape reaches the
end, and then use it again from the beginning in
the same manner as before.
≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning,
the tape may be damaged. In this case,
immediately stop using that Cassette.
≥In extremely cold places, condensation may
freeze and form frost. In this case, the frost melts ≥Do not clean the heads excessively. (Excessive

takes another 2 to 3 hours to eliminate the
condensation.
cleaning may cause excessive wear of the
heads. If the heads are worn, images cannot be
played back even after the heads are cleaned.)
≥If the dirty heads cannot be cleaned with the
Head Cleaner, the Movie Camera needs to be
cleaned at a service centre. Please consult a
dealer.
When the Lens is Fogged:
Set the [VCR/OFF/CAMERA/M-CARD] Switch to
[OFF] and leave the Movie Camera in this
condition for about 1 hour. When the lens
temperature becomes close to the ambient
temperature, the fog disappears naturally.
≥Video Head Cleaners can be purchased from
service centres.
≥Head cleaning due to dirty heads is not
considered a malfunction of the product. It is not
covered by the warranty.
ªVideo Head Clogging and Care
If the heads (the parts that make contact with
tape) are dirty, mosaic-pattern noise may appear
on the playback image, or the screen as a whole
becomes black. If the heads are extremely dirty,
recording performance deteriorates, and, in the
worst case, the Movie Camera cannot record at
all.
Periodical Check-up
To maintain the highest image quality, we
recommend replacement of worn parts, such as
heads, etc., after approximately 1000 hours of
use. (This, however, depends on operating
conditions, such as temperature, humidity, dust,
etc.)
Causes of Dirty Heads
≥Large quantity of dust in the air
≥High-temperature and high-humidity
environment
ªOptimal Use of the Battery
Battery Characteristics
≥Damaged tape
≥Long operating hours
Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head
Cleaner
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery.
Its ability to generate power is based upon the
chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This
reaction is susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature
is too high or too low, the operating time of the
Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is used in
an extremely cold environment, the Battery may
operate only for about 5 minutes. If the Battery
becomes extremely hot, a protective function may
operate, and the Battery may become unusable
for a while.
Be Sure to Detach the Battery after Use
Be sure to detach the Battery from the Movie
Camera. (If it is left attached to the Movie Camera,
a minute amount of current is consumed even
when the Movie Camera power is off.) If the
Battery is left attached to the Movie Camera for a
long time, over discharge takes place. The Battery
may become unusable after it is charged.
Disposing of an Unusable Battery
1
Insert the Head Cleaner into the Movie
Camera in the same manner as a
Video Cassette.
2
Press the [1] Button, and
approximately 20 seconds later, press
the [∫] Button. (Do not rewind the
tape.)
3
4
Take out the Head Cleaner. Insert a
Video Cassette and start recording.
Then, play the tape back to check the
recorded image.
If the image is not still clear, repeat
Steps 1 to 3. (Do not use the Head
Cleaner for 3 times or more
consecutively.)
≥The Battery has a limited life.
52
≥Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may ≥Once every half year, wind the tape to the end
cause an explosion.
Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery
Clean
Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with
dirt, dust, or other substances.
If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see if
the Battery body and terminals are deformed.
Attaching a deformed Battery to the Movie
Camera or AC Adaptor may damage the Movie
Camera or AC Adaptor.
and then rewind it to the beginning. If the
Cassette is left for 1 year or longer without
winding or rewinding, temperature and humidity
changes may cause the Cassette to deform due
to swelling, shrinking, and so forth. The wound
tape may stick to itself.
≥Do not place a Cassette near highly magnetic
substances or equipment.
≥The surface of tape is covered with extremely
minute magnetic particles, upon which signals
are recorded. Magnetic necklaces, toys, etc.,
have magnetic force that is stronger than you
may normally expect, and they may erase the
contents of a recording or may cause noise in
images and sounds.
ªCautions for Storage
Before storing the Movie Camera, take the
Cassette out and detach the Battery.
Store all the components in a dry place with a
relatively stable temperature.
Card (NV-DS65 only)
≥After usage, store the supplied SD memory card
in the enclosed bag.
(Recommended Temperature: 15 to 25oC,
Recommended Humidity: 40 to 60%)
Movie Camera
≥When the Card is being read, do not remove the
Card, turn off the power, or subject it to vibration
or impact.
≥Do not leave the Card in places where there is
high temperature or direct sunlight, or where
electromagnetic waves or static electricity are
easily generated.
≥Do not bend or drop the Card. The Card or the
recorded content may be damaged.
≥After use, be sure to remove the Card from the
Movie Camera.
≥Do not touch the terminals on the back of the
Card with your fingers. Do not allow dirt, dust or
water to enter it.
≥Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from
getting into the Camera.
≥Do not leave the Movie Camera in places that
expose it to high temperature.
Battery
≥Extremely high temperatures or low
temperatures will shorten the life of the Battery.
≥If the Battery is kept in smoky or dusty places,
the terminal may rust and cause malfunctions.
≥Do not allow the Battery terminals to come in
contact with metal objects (such as
necklaces, hairpins, etc.). This can result in a
short circuit or heat generation and, if you
touch the Battery in this condition, you may
be badly burned.
ªLCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens
LCD Monitor
≥Store the Battery in a completely discharged
state. To store the Battery for a long period of
time, we recommend you charge it once every
year and store it again after you completely use
up the charged capacity.
≥In a place with drastic temperature changes,
condensation may form on the LCD Monitor.
Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
≥If your Movie Camera is extremely cold when
you turn its power on, the image on the LCD
Monitor is slightly darker than usual at first.
However, as the internal temperature increases,
it goes back to the normal brightness.
...........................................................................
Cassette
≥Before storing it, rewind the tape to the
beginning. If the Cassette is left for more than
6 months with the tape stopped midway, the tape
sags (although it depends on the storage
condition). Be sure to rewind to the beginning.
≥Store the Cassette in its case. Dust, direct
sunlight (ultraviolet rays), or humidity may
damage the tape. Dust contains hard mineral
particles, and dusty Cassettes damage the
heads of the Movie Camera and other
components. Develop a habit of returning the
Cassette back to its case.

Explanation of Terms
ªDigital Video System
In a digital video system, images and sounds are
converted into digital signals and recorded on a
tape. This complete digital recording is capable of
recording and playback with minimal image and
sound deterioration.
Playback (Sound)
1: Sound is not played back from the built-in
speaker of the Movie Camera or the
headphones.
1: Is the volume too low? Push the [VOLUME]
Lever to adjust the volume. (l 30)
2: Different sounds are reproduced at the
same time.
In addition, it automatically records data, such as
Time Code and Date/Time, as digital signals.
Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
Because this Movie Camera employs a digital
system for recording image and sound data, it is
not compatible with conventional S-VHS or VHS
video equipment that employs an analog
recording system.
The size and shape of the Cassette are also
different.
55
Compatibility with Output Signals
Because AV signal output from the AV signal
output socket is analog (the same as conventional
video systems), this Movie Camera can be
connected with S-VHS or VHS video or a TV for
playback.
ªWhite Balance Adjustment
Depending on the type of light source, the colours
recorded by the Movie Camera may be affected.
In some cases, images may be recorded with
bluish or reddish hue. To minimize the effect of
light on the subject’s colour, what is called White
Balance Adjustment becomes necessary.
White Balance Adjustment
ªFocus
Auto Focus Adjustment
The Auto Focus System automatically moves
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the colour
forward and backward the focusing lens inside the of light and makes adjustment so that the white
Movie Camera to bring the subject into focus so
that the subject can be seen clearly.
However, the Auto Focus System does not
function properly for the following subjects or
under the following recording conditions.
Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead.
1) Recording a subject whose one end is
located closer to the Movie Camera and the
other end farther away from it
colour will become pure white.
Automatic White Balance Adjustment
This Movie Camera stores settings that are
optimal for several kinds of general light sources.
The Movie Camera determines the hue of light
that it receives through the Lens, thereby judging
the recording condition, and selects the closest
hue setting. This function is called Automatic
White Balance Adjustment.
≥Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at
the centre of an image, it may be impossible
to focus on a subject that is located in both
foreground and background.
However, since white balance settings for only
several kinds of light sources are stored, the Auto
White Balance Function does not operate properly
when recording occurs under light that is out of the
range of the setup values.
2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty
glass
ªTime Code
≥Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the
subject behind the glass will not be focused.
3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings
≥Because the light information that comes
through the lens decreases considerably, the
Movie Camera cannot focus correctly.
4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by
objects with glossy surfaces or by highly
reflective objects
Time Code signals are data that indicate time
measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames
(25 frames per second). If this data is included in a
recording, an address is assigned to each image
on the tape.
≥The Time Code is automatically recorded as a
part of the sub-code at each recording.
≥When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette is
inserted, the Time Code automatically starts
from zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted, the
Time Code picks up from the point where the
last scene was recorded. (In this case, when the
Cassette is inserted, the zero display
≥Because the Movie Camera focuses on the
objects with glossy surfaces or on highly
reflective objects, the recording subject may
become blurry.
5) Recording a fast-moving subject
≥Because the focus lens inside moves
mechanically, it cannot keep up with the
fast-moving subject.
6) Recording a subject with little contrast
≥Because the Movie Camera achieves focus
based upon the vertical lines of an image, a
subject with little contrast, such as a white
wall, may become blurry.
[0h00m00s00f] may appear, but the Time Code
starts from the previous value.)
≥The Time Code cannot be reset to zero.
≥Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded
from the beginning of a tape, accurate editing
may not be possible. To ensure that the Time
Code will be recorded with no breaks, we
recommend the use of the Blank Search
Function (l 32) before recording a new scene.
