during recording.
MNL

≥Do not cover the White Balance Sensor with your hand during recording.
Otherwise, White Balance will not function normally.
≥The red light from the Tally Lamp 2 will be reflected off your hand or
object, possibly causing the White Balance sensor to operate incorrectly
and changing the colouring.
Outside of the effective range of Automatic White Balance Adjustment, the
image will become reddish or bluish. Even within the effective range of
Automatic White Balance Adjustment, the Automatic White Balance
Adjustment may not function properly if there is more than one light source. In
this case, adjust the White Balance.

ªCautions for Use
When you use your Movie Camera in a rainy or snowy
day or on a beach, make sure that no water enters inside
the Movie Camera.
≥If the Cassette is left in the Movie Camera, the tape sags
and deteriorates.
≥Water may cause the Movie Camera or Cassette to
malfunction. (Irreparable failure may occur.)
≥If sea water splashes onto the Movie Camera, wet a soft
cloth with tap water, wring it well, and use it to wipe the
camera body carefully. Then, wipe it again thoroughly with
a soft dry cloth.
Keep the Movie Camera away from magnetized
equipment (such as a microwave oven, TV, video game
equipment, etc.).
≥If you use the Movie Camera on or near a TV, images or
sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave
radiation.
≥Do not use near a cell phone because doing so may cause
noise to adversely affect the picture and sound.
≥By strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large
motors, recording on the tape may be damaged, or images
may be distorted.
≥Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a
microprocessor may adversely affect the Movie Camera,
causing the disturbance of images and sounds.
≥If the Movie Camera is affected by magnetically charged
equipment and does not function properly, turn off the
Movie Camera power and detach the Battery or AC
Adaptor and then connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again.
Thereafter, turn on the Movie Camera power.
Do not use your Movie Camera near radio transmitters
or high-voltage lines.
≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or
high-voltage lines, recorded images or sounds may be
adversely affected.
Do not use this Movie Camera for surveillance purpose
or other business use.
≥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.
ªAbout AC Adaptor
≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high or
extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may continue flashing,
and the Battery may not be charged. After the temperature
of the Battery has decreased or increased sufficiently,
charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp
continues to flash even after the Battery temperature has
decreased or increased sufficiently, the Battery or AC
Adaptor may be faulty. In this case, please contact a
dealer.
≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer time than
normal.
≥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.)
≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery always
clean.
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.
≥If you use the Movie Camera for a long period of time, the
internal temperature increases and, consequently, this may
cause malfunction.
≥This Movie Camera is not intended for business use.
When you use your Movie Camera on a beach or similar
place, do not let sand or fine dust get into the Movie
Camera.
≥Sand or dust may damage the Movie Camera or Cassette.
(Care should be taken when inserting and removing the
Cassette.)
Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the
Movie Camera.
≥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.
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.
2 to 3 hours later, turn on the Movie Camera
power and check to see if the Condensation
Indication is displayed.
2
3
≥If the Movie Camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the
camera body may be deformed and the surface finish may
peel off.
≥Even if the Condensation Indication is not displayed,
as a precaution, please wait for another hour before
using the Movie Camera.
46
Watch for Condensation even before the Condensation
Indication is displayed.
ªOptimal Use of the Battery
Battery Characteristics
≥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.
≥In extremely cold places, condensation may freeze and
form frost. In this case, the frost melts first, thus forming
condensation, and then it takes another 2 to 3 hours to
eliminate the condensation.
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.
When the Lens is Fogged:
Set the [OFF/ON/MODE] 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.
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
≥The Battery has a limited life.
≥Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may cause an
explosion.
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.
Causes of Dirty Heads
≥Large quantity of dust in the air
≥High-temperature and high-humidity environment
≥Damaged tape
≥Long operating hours
Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery Clean
Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with dirt, dust, or
other substances.
Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head Cleaner
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.
1
Insert the Head Cleaner into the Movie Camera
in the same manner as a Video Cassette.
Press the [1] Button, and approximately
20 seconds later, press the [∫] Button. (Do not
rewind the tape.)
2
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.
(Recommended Temperature: 15 to 25oC, Recommended
Humidity: 40 to 60%)
Movie Camera
≥Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from getting into the
Camera.
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.)
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.
≥Do not clean the heads excessively. (Excessive 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.
≥Video Head Cleaners can be purchased from service
centres.
≥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.
≥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.
Cassette
≥Head cleaning due to dirty heads is not considered a
malfunction of the product. It is not covered by the
warranty.
≥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.
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.)
47
≥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.
≥Once every half year, wind the tape to the end 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.

Lens Hood
≥Do not attach other conversion lenses in front of the Lens
Hood; there is no mount to be used for the attachment.
≥When you wish to attach the Tele Conversion Lens
(VW-LT3014E; optional), Wide Conversion Lens
(VW-LW3007E; optional), MC Protector (VW-LMC30E;
optional), or ND Filter (VW-LND30E; optional), first of all,
turn the Lens Hood counterclockwise. If the MC Protector
or ND Filter is used, the Lens Hood can be mounted on the
filter.
≥If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during recording
with the filter or conversion lens attached to the Movie
Camera, 4 corners of the image may become dark
(vignetting). For details, please refer to the operating
instructions of your accessories.
≥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.
Card
≥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.
≥After usage, store the supplied SD Memory Card in the
enclosed yellow bag.
≥Be sure to keep the Lens Hood attached to the Movie
Camera so as to shut out unnecessary light.

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.
Explanation of Terms
1: Is the [VCR] Lamp on? If the [VCR] Lamp is not on, the
playback function cannot be used. (l 26)
2: Mosaic-pattern noise appears on images during
Cue, Review or Slow Motion Playback.
2: This phenomenon is characteristic of digital video
systems. It is not a malfunction.
3: Although the Movie Camera is correctly connected
to a TV, playback images cannot be seen.
3: Have you selected “Video Input” on the TV? Please
read the operating instructions of your TV and select the
channel that matches the input sockets used for the
connection.
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.
4: Playback picture is not clear.
4: Are the heads of the Movie Camera dirty? If the heads
are dirty, playback image cannot be clear. (l 47)
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? During playback, keep pressing
the [PUSH] Dial until the [VOLUME] Indication appears.
Then, turn the [PUSH] Dial to adjust the volume. (l 26)
The size and shape of the Cassette are also different.
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.
49
≥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 [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 Camera Search
Function (l 18) or the Blank Search Function (l 27)
before recording a new scene.
ªFocus
Auto Focus Adjustment
The Auto Focus System automatically moves forward and
backward the focusing lens inside the 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
≥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.
2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty glass
≥Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the subject
behind the glass will not be focused.
ªMemory Stop Function
The Memory Stop Function is useful for the following
operations.
Rewinding or fast-forwarding a tape to a desired
position
1
Set [DISPLAY SETUP] >> [C.DISPLAY] >>
[MEMORY].
Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the tape
position from which you want to play it back
later. (l 8, 14)
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
≥Because the Movie Camera focuses on the objects
with glossy surfaces or on highly reflective objects, the
recording subject may become blurry.

Start playback or recording.
After playback or recording has finished:
Press the [MODE] Button to set the Movie
Camera to VCR Mode.
≥The [VCR] Lamp lights up.
Rewind the tape.
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.
5
≥The tape automatically stops approximately at the
position where the counter was set to zero.
Stopping editing automatically during audio dubbing

[MEMORY].
Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the position
where you want to stop editing.
Play back the still picture where you want to
start audio dubbing.
Start audio dubbing. (l 30)
≥Audio dubbing automatically stops at the position
where the counter was set to zero.
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
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the colour of light and
makes adjustment so that the white 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
and White Balance Sensor (l 6), thereby judging the
recording condition, and selects the closest hue setting. This
function is called Automatic White Balance Adjustment.
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.
ªTime Code
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.
