Information for Your Safety
As this equipment gets hot during use, operate it in well ventilated place; do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or similar unit. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product damage, do not expose this equipment to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the equipment. AC Adaptor The rating plate is on the underside of the AC Adaptor. If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED. Under no circumstances should either of these wires be connected to the earth terminal of the three-pin plug, marked with the letter E or the Earth Symbol.

Using the DV Cable for Recording (Digital Dubbing)
Regardless of the setting, digital dubbing is carried out automatically in the same audio recording mode as that of the playback Cassette. The images on the recorded monitor may be disturbed, but it does not affect the recorded images. Even if Playback Digital Effects or Playback Zoom have been used, these effects are not output from the DV Terminal. Even if you use device equipped with DV Terminals (such as IEEE1394), you may not be able to perform Digital Dubbing in some cases. Date or other information to be displayed cannot be displayed if the software of the connected equipment does not support the display function.

Cautions for Use

After Use 1 Take out the Cassette. (-12-) 2 Set the [OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF]. 3 Detach the power supply and retract the
Viewfinder or the LCD Monitor. (-9-, -12-)
4 To protect the Lens, attach the supplied

Lens Cap.

Cautions for Use
When you use your Movie Camera on a rainy or snowy day or on a beach, make sure that no water enters the Movie Camera. 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 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.
Others 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. then check if the condensation indication disappears. Especially in cold districts, dews may be frozen. In this case, it may take more time before the condensation indication disappears.
