When normal playback cannot be performed even after the
head cleaning
One possible cause is that normal recording could not be
performed because the heads were dirty at the time of
recording. Clean the heads, and perform recording and
playback again. If normal playback can be performed, the
heads are clean. Before an important recording, be sure to
conduct a test recording to make sure that normal recording
can be performed.
≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning, the problem
may be attributable to the tape. If so, try another cassette.
≥During playback, the picture or sound may be interrupted
momentarily, but this is not a malfunction of the movie
camera. (One possible cause is that the playback is
interrupted by dirt or dust that momentarily adheres to the
heads.)

About the movie camera
≥When the movie camera is used for a long time, the camera
body becomes warm, but this is not a malfunction.
Keep the movie camera away from magnetized equipment
such as a cellular phones, microwave ovens, TVs, and
video game equipment.
≥If you use the movie camera on or near a TV, images or
sounds may be disturbed due to electromagnetic wave
radiation.
≥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 digital circuits
including microprocessor may adversely affect the movie
camera, causing the disturbance of images and sounds.
≥If the movie camera is affected by such equipment and does
not function properly, turn off the movie camera power and
detach the battery or AC adaptor. Then, connect the battery
or AC adaptor again and turn on the movie camera power.
Do not use your movie camera near radio transmitters or
high-voltage cables.
≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or high-voltage
cables, recorded images or sounds may be adversely
affected.
Do not spray insecticides or volatile chemicals onto the
movie camera.
≥If the movie camera is sprayed with such chemicals, the
camera body may become deformed and the surface finish
may peel off.
≥Do not keep rubber or plastic products in contact with the
movie camera for a long time.
When you use your movie camera in a sandy or dusty
place such as on a beach, do not let sand or fine dust get
into the body and terminals of the movie camera. Also,
protect the movie camera from getting wet.
≥Sand or dust may damage the movie camera or cassette.
(Care should be taken when inserting and removing a
cassette.)
≥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.
While carrying the movie camera, do not drop or bump it.
≥A strong impact on the movie camera may break its housing,
causing it to malfunction.
Do not use benzine, paint thinner or alcohol for cleaning
the movie camera.
≥Before cleaning, detach the battery or pull out the AC mains
lead from the AC mains socket.
≥The camera body may be discoloured and the surface finish
may peel off.
≥Wipe the movie camera with a soft dry cloth to remove dust
and fingerprints. To remove stubborn stains, wring well a cloth
that is soaked in a neutral detergent diluted with water and
wipe the movie camera with it. Afterwards, wipe it with a dry
cloth.
≥When you use a chemical dust cloth, follow the instructions.
Do not use this movie camera for surveillance purposes or
other business use.
≥If you use the movie camera for a long time, the internal
temperature increases and, consequently, this may cause
malfunction.
≥This movie camera is not intended for business use.

About the battery
The battery used in the movie camera is a rechargeable lithium
ion battery. This battery is susceptible to temperature and
humidity, and the effect of temperature increases with
increasing or decreasing temperature. In the low temperature
range, the fully charged indication may not appear, or the low
battery indication may appear about 5 minutes after the start of
use. At high temperature, moreover, the protection function
may work, disabling use of the movie camera.
Be sure to detach the battery after use
≥If the battery 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.
Prepare spare batteries when going out for recording.
≥Prepare batteries appropriate to 3 to 4 times the period during
you want to record pictures in. In cold places such as a ski
resort, the period during which you can record pictures is
shortened.
≥When you travel, do not forget to bring an AC adaptor so that
you can recharge the batteries at your destination.
If you drop the battery accidentally, check to see if the
terminals are deformed.
≥Attaching a deformed battery to the movie camera or AC
adaptor may damage the movie camera or AC adaptor.
After use, be sure to take the cassette out and detach the
battery from the movie camera or pull out the AC mains
lead from AC mains socket.
≥The battery should be stored in a cool place free from
humidity, with as constant temperature as possible.
(Recommended temperature: 15 oC to 25 oC, Recommended
humidity: 40% to 60%)
≥Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will shorten
the life of the battery.
≥If the battery is kept in a high-temperature, high-humidity, or
oily-smoky places, the terminals may rust and cause
malfunctions.
≥To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend
you charge it once every year and store it again after you
have completely used up the charged capacity.
≥Dust and other matter attached to the battery terminals should
be removed.
