SONY HXR-NX70U HD CAMCORDER

STUDY GUIDE

PURPOSE

This Study Guide was created to help students prepare for the SONY HXR-NX70U HD Camcorder

Certification Exam, which is necessary to reserve and use the SONY HXR-NX70U HD

Camcorder, specifically for classroom purposes. This Study Guide, in combination with the

camera’s Operating Guide provides all essential information on the proper handling and use of

the SONY HXR-NX70U HD Camcorder, including an explanation of contents, procedures to

demonstrate, and required features and techniques to know.

1. Recite the “Safety Principles” (or “Golden Rules”) of the Media Lab.

2. Identify all items included in the SONY HXR-NX70U Camcorder package.

3. Demonstrate safe handling of the camera and tripod.

4. Demonstrate proper set up and knowledge of the camera’s basic functions.

5. Proper “striking” of camcorder equipment package.

1. Never force anything! If something you are attempting to do requires any amount of

excessive force, STOP and review your methods.

2. Never over tighten! This may cause the stripping of threads. The use of excessive force

can damage the equipment.

3. Never leave the camcorder equipment unattended! Camcorder and other video

equipment are prime targets for theft.

4. Never leave the camcorder equipment exposed to any heat source! (e.g., in the trunk

of a vehicle). Excessive heat will cause camcorder parts to melt.

5. Never use equipment in “risky” situations/environments! (e.g., any type of airborne

devices or locations including airplanes, helicopters, skateboards, motorcycles,

rollerblades, etc., night time shoots in low lit and/or unsafe areas, and “remote” areas which

require transport of equipment over rough terrain.)

6. Never touch or attempt to clean the lens! There is a high probability of scratching and

permanently damaging the lens without the proper cleaning materials. Only use an

approved cleaning cloth.

7. Never aim the viewfinder or the LCD screen directly at a strong light source! This will

cause permanent damage to the viewfinder/LCD screen. (e.g., the sun, very bright light, or

its reflection from an object.)

8. Never submerge the camera or spray it with water! Although the body of this camera is

rain proof, it is not waterproof and cannot be submerged or sprayed.
