Cautions for Use

DPOF setting made on another camera may not be recognized by Camcorder. Perform the DPOF Settings on your Camcorder. Verifying the DPOF Settings may take a little time. Wait until the Card Access Lamp goes out.

After Use

Take out the Cassette. (p. 17) Set the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF]. Take out the Card. (p. 18) Detach the power supply and retract the Viewnder or the LCD Monitor. (pp. 15, 20) To protect the Lens, attach the supplied Lens Cap.

Lock Setting

The Lock Setting carried out by this Camcorder is only effective for this Camcorder. The SD Memory Card has a write protection switch on it. If the switch is moved to the [LOCK] side, you cannot write to or format the Card. If it is moved back, you can.
When you use your Camcorder on a rainy or snowy day or on a beach, make sure that no water enters the Camcorder.
Water may cause the Camcorder or Cassette to malfunction. (Irreparable failure may occur.) If sea water splashes onto the Camcorder, 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.
Whenever plugging in the S-Video cable, plug in the AV cable, too. Use the AC adaptor to avoid battery depletion.
Recording from a Tape onto a Card
If you press the [PHOTO SHOT] Button without pausing, blurred pictures may be recorded.
Keep the Camcorder away from magnetized equipment (such as a microwave oven, TV, video game equipment, etc.).
If you use the Camcorder 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. Recordings on the tape may be damaged, or images may be distorted, by strong magnetic fields created by speakers or large motors. Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a microprocessor may adversely affect the Camcorder, causing the disturbance of images and sounds. If the Camcorder is affected by magnetically charged equipment and does not function properly, turn off the Camcorder power and detach the Battery or AC Adaptor and then connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again. Thereafter, turn on the Camcorder power.

Remove the tape if it is inserted.
It takes about 20 seconds to open the Cassette Holder. This is not a malfunction.
Do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol for cleaning the Camcorder.
The Camcorder body may be deformed and the surface finish may peel off. Before cleaning, detach the Battery or pull out the AC Cable from the AC Jack. Wipe the Camcorder with a soft dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, wipe with a cloth that is soaked in a detergent diluted with water and afterwards finish wiping with a dry cloth. For storing or transporting the Camcorder, place it in a bag or case lined with soft pads so as to prevent the coating on the camera body from being worn.
Leave the Camcorder with the Cassette Compartment Cover closed to cool or warm it to the ambient temperature. When [ ] blinks in yellow
You cannot use the Tape Recording/Playback Mode. Leave the Camcorder for about 30 minutes. However, you can use the Card Recording Mode or Picture Playback Mode when the cassette is not inserted.

When [

] blinks in red
After use, be sure to take the Cassette out and detach the Battery from the Camcorder or pull out the AC Cable from AC Jack.
If the Cassette is left in the Camcorder, the tape sags and deteriorates. If the Battery is left on the Camcorder for a long time, the voltage drops excessively, and the Battery will not function even after it is recharged.
The Power Indicator Lamp blinks for about 1 minute and then the Camcorder automatically turns off. Leave it for about 2 to 3 hours.
Turn the Camcorder on again, set it to the Tape Recording/Playback Mode and then check if the condensation indication disappears.

About 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 3 feet (1 meter) or more away from radio. When using the AC Adaptor, it may generate whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
Especially in cold conditions, dew may be frozen. In this case, it may take more time before the condensation indication disappears.
Watch for Condensation even before the Condensation Indication is displayed.
The condensation indication may not appear depending on circumstances. When condensation occurs on the lens or the Camcorder, it also may occur on the head and the tape. Do not open the Cassette Compartment Cover.

If the image is not still clear, repeat Steps 1 to 4. (Do not use the Head Cleaner 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 Camcorder needs to be cleaned at a Servicenter. Please consult a dealer. Head cleaning due to dirty heads is not considered a malfunction of the product. It is not covered by the warranty.

Cautions for Storage

Before storing the Camcorder, take the Cassette out and detach the Battery.
Store all the components in a dry place with a relatively stable temperature. (Recommended Temperature: 59 F to 77 F (15 C to 25 C), Recommended Humidity: 40 % to 60 %)
Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from getting into the Camera. Do not leave the Camcorder 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 terminals 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.

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.)

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 Camcorder 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. 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. Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 105,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99 % effective pixels with a mere 0.01 % of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

When the USB cable is disconnected, an error message will appear on PC.
To disconnect the USB cable safely, double-click ] icon in the task tray and follow the the [ instructions on the screen.
Photoshot playback images do not look normal.
The picture may be damaged. In order to prevent the loss of image data, backing up on a cassette or a personal computer is recommended.
Even if a card is formatted, it cannot be used.
Either the Camcorder or the card may be damaged. Please consult a dealer.
The Camcorder malfunctions on editing, dubbing from digital video equipment, or using MotionDV STUDIO 5.3E LE for DV.
If a tape is recorded in multiple modes such as SP and LP (recording mode), 12bit and 16bit (sound recording mode), recorded and unrecorded parts, the Camcorder may malfunction at a point where the mode switches. When you edit, do not record in multiple modes.
During playback, [UNPLAYABLE CARD] is displayed.
The image was either recorded in a different format, or data is damaged.
Others The indication disappears, the screen is frozen, or no operation can be performed.
Turn off the power to the Camcorder. If the power cannot be turned off, press the [RESET] button (p. 70), or detach the battery or AC adaptor and then reattach it. After that, turn on the power again. If normal operation is still not restored, detach the power connected, and consult the dealer who you purchased the Camcorder from.
The Warning/Alarm indication [ ] appears when the Camcorder is operated in the Web Camera mode.
Did you press the [MENU] Button or the Recording Start/Stop Button? You cannot use the menu or record onto the Tape/Card in the Web Camera mode. Is the setting for the Remote Control correct? Did you attempt to play a tape without inserting it? Insert a tape. Did you attempt to play a tape with copyright protection (copy guard)? Pictures of the tape with copyright protection (copy guard) cannot be displayed on the PC. (The audio of the tape can be played.) Is the Video Stream Driver installed? (pp. 48~49)

Using the RESET button

Undo Grip Belt end 1 and pull Lens Cap Cord 2 downward to loosen Grip Belt.
Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead. 1) Recording a subject whose one end is located closer to the Camcorder and the other end farther away from it
Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at the center of an image, it may be impossible to focus on a subject that is located in both foreground and background.

Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
Because this Camcorder 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 Cassettes are also different.
Compatibility with Output Signals
Because AV signal output from the AV signal output Jack is analog (the same as conventional video systems), this Camcorder can be connected with S-VHS or VHS video or a TV for playback.

Auto Focus Adjustment

The Auto Focus System automatically moves forward and backward the focusing lens inside the Camcorder 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.
