Maximum Continuous Recording Time means the duration of  
continuous recording performed at an ambient temperature of  
25oC and 60% relative humidity. In actual recording, however,  
the use of the zoom and other functions increases the power  
consumption, and higher or lower temperatures reduce the  
Batterys ability to generate electricity. Therefore, the actual  
recording time per Battery may be approximately 30%50%  
shorter than listed above.

Checking the Remaining Battery Power  
You can confirm the remaining charge in the attached Battery  
in the Finder or on the °LCD Monitor. This also shows you  
approximately how much more continuous recording time you  
can get from the attached Battery. The indicated time does  
not change in 1-minute steps.  
The above illustrations show how the Remaining Battery  
Operation Time Indication changes according to the  
remaining operation time.

Remaining Battery Operation Time Indication  
This Indication shows the remaining duration of continuous  
recording at an ambient temperature of 25oC when a fully  
charged Battery was attached. Therefore, in the following  
cases, the actual available recording time is different from the  
times shown above:  
When Recording Is Not Performed Continuously  
In most cases, you will frequently start and stop recording,  
turn the Movie Camera on and off, use the zoom and other  
functions, all of which consume power. Therefore, the actual  
available recording time from the Battery is approximately  
30%50% shorter than listed. (l 22)

When the Ambient Temperature Is Extremely Low or  
Extremely High  
The characteristics of the Battery vary according to the  
ambient temperature, and at a very low temperature, the  
possible recording time becomes extremely short. In addition,  
the Remaining Battery Operation Time Indication on the  
Movie Camera decreases a little faster than at an ambient  
temperature of 25oC.

end. (l 126)

The picture seen on the LCD Monitor looks slightly stretched  
vertically, however, the actually recorded picture remains  
unaffected by this.  
Return the LCD Monitor to its vertical position before closing  
it. Also, make sure that the Cassette Compartment is  
securely closed before closing the LCD Monitor.  
Opening the LCD Monitor automatically turns the Finder off.  
However, when you turn the LCD Monitor so that is faces  
forward, the Finder turns on again.  
When the Movie Camera is very cold when turning it on, the  
picture on the LCD Monitor is darker than normally.  
However, as it reaches normal temperature, it regains its  
normal brightness.  
To remove fingerprints, wipe the LCD Monitor with a soft  
cloth.

Do not expose the LCD Monitor to direct sunlight. When

Extremely high precision technology is employed to  
produce the LCD Monitor. The result is more than

inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction  
and does not affect the recorded picture.

Preventing Accidental Erasure of Recordings  
Recording on a previously recorded cassette erases the  
existing scenes and sound.  
To protect important recordings against accidental erasure,  
use a screwdriver to break out the tab 3 on the cassette  
(some cassettes have sliding-type tabs).  
To be able to record again on a protected cassette, firmly  
cover the hole where the tab was with two layers of  
adhesive tape 4.

To ensure correct functioning of the Motion Sensor  
Function, the moving subject should be quite large in the  
picture. Therefore, when you have zoomed the lens to the  
maximum wide-angle position, the distance between lens  
and subject should preferably be within about 2 metres. For  
subjects at larger distances, be sure to zoom in accordingly.  
The Movie Camera requires time to set up before recording  
starts. Therefore, the beginning of movement is not  
recorded.

Mirror Mode  
ꢀꢁ !  
When recording yourself with the LCD Monitor facing forward,  
the picture shown on it the way it is being recorded may be  
difficult to get used to.  
This is because we usually look at ourselves in the mirror, so  
we see a mirror-image and this feels more natural. This Movie  
Camera features the Mirror Mode which displays the picture  
as a mirror-image.

When you have finished using the Movie Camera, be sure to  
remove the Battery.  
If you leave the Battery attached to the Movie Camera, a  
small amount of electricity is consumed even if the  
[CAMERA/OFF/VCR] Switch is set to [OFF], and this  
reduces the Batterys charge. Leaving the Battery attached  
to the Movie Camera for a very long time could discharge it  
excessively and this could make charging impossible.  
Do not allow metal objects such as keys and necklaces to  
touch the battery terminals.

The terminals of the Battery might rust.  
Before you store the Battery for a long time, perform  
playback or other operations to completely use up the  
remaining charge in the Battery. Then remove it from the  
Movie Camera and store it. We recommend that you  
reactivate the Battery about once a year by charging it and  
then completely using up the charge before storing it again.

Precautions for the Cassette  
When you have finished using the Movie Camera, rewind the  
tape to the beginning and take the cassette out of the Movie  
Camera. If you store the cassette for a long time, fast-forward  
and then rewind it at least once a year to expose the tape to  
fresh air.  
Observe the following points to prevent deformation of the  
cassette case and deterioration of the picture and sound  
quality.  
Do not subject the cassette to strong vibration or  
mechanical shocks.  
Do not place it near magnetized equipment.  
Avoid places where the temperature can become very high.

Symptoms of Dirty Video Heads  
When turning on the Movie Camera, the [U11/:] Indication  
appears for the first few seconds.  
When playing back a cassette on the Movie Camera and  
watching the picture on a connected TV, white noise bars  
appear in the picture. However, if the heads are extremely  
dirty, the playback picture cannot be seen at all.  
Remedy as Follows:  
Use a video head cleaning cassette to clean the heads.  
Carefully follow the instructions for its use as too much  
cleaning wears down the heads. If the playback picture is not  
clear after cleaning, it means that the video heads are worn  
out. Consult qualified service personnel.

Video recording takes place under various light sources, from  
sunlight as the main natural light source to a wide range of  
artificial light sources such as fluorescent lamps. As each of  
these light sources has a different colour temperature, each of  
them gives the colours of the subject a slightly different tint.  
Human eyes can easily adjust to different kinds of lighting and  
recognize an object as having the same colour, even under  
different light sources.

ꢀꢁ !"#$%& '()*+,-./01234567#  
ꢀꢁ !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123  
The eye of the Movie Camera (lens), however, cannot adapt  
to the change in lighting and is influenced by the lighting.  
Therefore, depending on the light source, the picture would be  
recorded with a bluish or reddish tint. To minimize the  
influence of the lighting on the colours of the subject, an  
adjustment called White Balance Adjustment is necessary.

Auto White Balance  
This Movie Camera offers both Auto White Balance  
Adjustment and Manual White Balance Adjustment. When the  
Movie Camera is in the Full Auto Mode, the internal system of  
the Movie Camera automatically determines the temperature  
of the light and compensates the tint of the subject  
accordingly. White is the basic colour by which the tint is  
determined. Because this adjustment is performed based on  
the white colour, it is called White Balance Adjustment. The  
optimum settings for several light sources are stored in the  
memory of the Movie Camera. The internal microcomputer  
compares the colour temperature of the light received by the  
White Balance Sensor positioned on the front of the Movie  
Camera with the colour stored in memory, and selects the  
setting for the most similar tint.

Although this Movie Camera stores the optimum settings for

colour, it cannot cope with all light sources. Therefore, to  
record under those types of lighting (l 90, 92) which cannot  
be correctly adjusted with Auto White Balance Adjustment,  
use Manual White Balance Adjustment. (l 90)

How the Focus Adjustment Works  
If you look at an object through a magnifying glass and move  
it closer or further away from your eye, you will reach a point  
where the object becomes clearly visible. Being focused or in  
focus means that the subject can be seen with optimum  
clarity and sharpness. The distance between the lens and the  
point where the rays of light come together is called Focal  
Distance or Focal Length and depends on the size and shape  
of the lens.  
Human eyes have lenses too, and when we look at objects at  
different distances, the shape of these lenses changes  
automatically so that we can always see the objects clearly.  
Auto Focus Adjustment  
The image of the subject enters the Movie Camera through  
the lens and is converted into an electrical signal (video  
signal) for recording onto tape. Based on this signal, the Auto  
Focus System automatically adjusts the focal distance by  
moving the focusing lens forward or backward.  
The focus is adjusted on the subject in the centre of the  
Finder.
