Attaching and charging the battery packs
Your battery pack was partially charged before it left the factory. It should have enough power for you to check that your camera is working properly. However, you must charge the battery pack fully if you want it to power the camera for more than a few minutes. Always turn the camera off and raise the viewfinder before connecting/removing the battery.
1. Set the POWER switch to OFF. 2. Attach the battery to the camera.
Remove the battery packs terminal cover. Rotate the viewfinder upwards. With the triangle on the battery pack pointing downwards, align the edge of the battery pack with the line on the camera, press lightly and slide the battery down until it clicks into place.
3. Connect the power adapter to the camera. 4. Connect the power cable to the adapter and plug it into an AC outlet.
The charge indicator flashes red to show that charging is in progress. Single flashes mean that the battery pack is less than 50% charged. Double flashes mean that it is between 50% and 75% charged. Triple flashes mean that it is more than 75% charged. The indicator glows steadily when the battery pack is fully charged. If the indicator blinks twice a second, the battery pack may be defective. Charging will also take place when the camera is set to VCR and in stop mode, or the camera has turned itself off after being left in record pause mode for more than about 5 minutes.

Page 13 (1,1)

5. When charging is complete, disconnect the power adapter from the camera. Unplug the power cable from the AC outlet, then disconnect it from the adapter. 6. Remove the battery pack after use.
Rotate the viewfinder upwards. Press and hold the BATT. RELEASE button while you slide the battery up. Never connect an unspecified product to the cameras DC terminal. Likewise, do not connect the power adapter to an unspecified product. You can find detailed notes for using the batteries in the Notes on Using the Batteries ( 88). These notes include charging and recording times and how to install the backup battery.

SPOTLIGHT

Sand & Snow
Use this program in places where the background is so bright that the subject appears underexposed in the display a sunny beach or ski resort, for example. You may notice some shudder when recording moving subjects.

SAND&SNOW

This program allows you to record in dimly lit places. It is generally best used for close-ups of slow or stationary subjects, as moving subjects may leave a trailing after-image. However, you can take advantage of this to create special effects, by rapid zooming or by panning along with a moving subject. Picture quality will not be as good as in normal lighting conditions, and autofocus may not work as well as usual.

Audio Dubbing
You can add sound to the original sound on a prerecorded tape from audio products (AUDIO IN) or with the internal or external microphone (MIC. IN). The original sound will not be erased. For best results, add sound to tapes that have been recorded with this camera in SP mode with 12-bit sound. If there are nonrecorded portions on the tape, or portions recorded in LP mode, or with 16-bit or 12-bit, 4-channel sound, dubbing will stop. If your tape hasnt been recorded in SP mode with 12-bit sound, we recommend dubbing your original tape onto a blank tape using the ZR10s analog line-in function, then dubbing audio onto the new tape. Make absolutely sure to set the audio mode of the new tape to 12-bit and the recording mode to SP. To connect other audio equipment:
An audio device (i. e. CD player)
Do not use the yellow video terminal. The A/V terminal doesnt put out any video, so connect the S-video terminals and check your TV, or check the LCD or the viewfinder as you add new sound. Always check the new sound with the speaker or the headphones. To connect an external microphone:
When you add sound using the built-in microphone make sure not to connect any cables to the MIC terminal. To use your TV to monitor video, connect the S-video terminal or the A/V terminal (use only the video plug) to your TV. You can monitor the sound with headphones.

Setting the Audio Mix
MIX AUDIO BALANCE MONITOR ST-1 ST-2
When you play back a tape that was recorded in 12-bit mode, you can set the audio output to play: stereo 1 (the original sound), stereo 2 (any new sound, dubbed to the tape after recording), or mix the balance between the two. Audio from the 16-bit mode only contains stereo 1 sound and so you cannot/do not need to select the audio mix. The same is true for the 12-bit stereo 1 mode, unless new sound has been added post-recording. You can choose the output using the wireless controller only.
1. Turn the POWER switch to VCR. 2. Choose the output.
Press AUDIO MONITOR on the wireless controller. Starting with the last selected setting, four settings appear as you push the button: STEREO1 for just stereo 1. STEREO2 for just stereo 2. MIX/FIXED for an equal mix of stereo 1 and 2. MIX/VARI. (mix variable) for when you want to mix the balance between stereo 1 and 2. To simply choose STEREO1, STEREO2 or MIX/FIXED, make sure your choice appears on the display. If you choose MIX/VARI., you can go on to mix the balance. Use the ST-1/ST-2 keys to mix the balance. A bar showing the mix appears on the screen for four seconds.

When it needs replacing (or if it has not been installed), the y mark flashes in the display. Remove the old battery by pushing up then releasing and lifting out. Make sure to attach a power source to the camera first, so it will remember your chosen settings when you change the battery.

DANGER!

Treat the battery pack with care. Keep it away from fire (or it might explode). Do not expose the battery pack to temperatures greater than 140F (60C). Do not leave it near a heater, or inside a car in hot weather, for example. Do not try to disassemble or modify it. Do not drop or knock it. Do not get it wet.

WARNING!

The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212F (100C) or incinerate. Replace the battery with a Sony, Sanyo or Panasonic CR2025, or Duracell DL2025. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion.
Cautions: Do not pick up the battery using tweezers or other metal tools this will cause a short circuit. Wipe the battery with a clean, dry cloth to ensure proper contact. Keep the battery pack out of reach of children if it is swallowed, contact a physician immediately, as the battery case may break down and the battery fluids damage the stomach and intestines. Do not disassemble, heat or immerse the battery in water, to avoid the risk of explosion.

Maintenance

Cautions

Avoid high temperatures and high humidity. Do not leave the camera inside a car in hot weather, for example. Be careful of heat radiating from video lighting equipment. Do not take the camera into a humid room. Avoid sudden changes in temperature. If you take the camera from a cold place to a warm place, condensation may form on the lens and internal parts ( 94). Do not point the lens or viewfinder at strong light sources. Never point it at the sun, and do not leave it aimed at a bright subject. Be especially careful when leaving the camera on a tripod. Avoid magnetic or electric fields. Do not use the camera close to TV transmitters, portable communication devices or other sources of electric or magnetic radiation. They may cause picture interference, or permanently damage the camera. Do not expose the camera to water. Cover the camera when you are recording in rain or mist. There is a risk of electric shock if water gets inside the camera contact qualified service personnel as soon as possible. Protect the lens. Sand and dust can damage the lens be especially careful on windy days. Handle the camera gently. Vibration or shock can cause damage. Do not use the viewfinder or LCD panel as a carrying handle. Do not disassemble the camera. This is very dangerous as there is a risk of electric shock if the camera does not function properly, take it to qualified service personnel.

PROGRAM

Epistasis plays critical roles inprocesses important to livestock and crop improvement and to evolution in natural populations. Epistasis reduces parent-offspring resemblance and can decrease response to selection; it can be a component in heterosis; and it can serve to maintain a rservoir of potential genetic variation far exceeding apparent variation. The topic is timely. Novel biotechnologies to identify interaction candicates promise to give us unprecedented access to the molecular mechanisms of epistasis. At the same time, epstasis remains an obstacle in the identification of target genotypes for modern animal and crop improvement. Given these ramifications, the topic will interest statistical, molecular, and evolutionary geneticists in animal, plant, and human systems.
