Protecting the hard disk

When you have finished using the camera, set the hard disk to standby mode before turning off the power. If the camera power is turned off at the following times when recording or playback is in progress, damage to the hard disk may result. (See page 18)

•When the Ni-Cd battery has not been charged for long enough

•When camera operation is stopped immediately after the battery has been replaced

Checking the hard disk

A hard disk check is carried out automatically when the camera power is turned on in order to see if there are any problems with the formatting of the hard disk. If a problem with the hard disk is detected, “CHECKING DISK!” is displayed on the monitor screen. If this happens, reformat the hard disk, or if the hard disk contains images that you need to save, contact the place of purchase for assistance.

The hard disk is sensitive to dust, vibration and shocks, and it should also not be used in the vicinity of items which generate magnetic fields. Be sure to observe the following in order to minimize the risk of data losses.

•Do not subject the hard disk to shocks.

•Do not use the camera in places which are unstable or subject to vibration.

•Do not move the camera while the power is still turned on.

•Do not disconnect the power cord from the power supply while recording or playback is in progress.

•Do not use the camera in places which are prone to sudden changes in temperature (changes of more than 10˚C in one hour).

•If moving the camera to a place which has high humidity or which is subject to large fluctuations in humidity, condensation may form inside the camera. If the camera is used while there is condensation inside the camera, it may result in camera malfunctions.

•Do not install the camera in places which are subject to vibration, such as inside vehicles or trains.

The built-in hard disk, cooling fan and Ni-Cd battery are consumable.

•These parts should generally be replaced after 2 years of operation at an ambient temperature of 25˚C. This replacement period is a guide only, and is not a guarantee that performance will be maintained during the whole of the time.

•If the ambient temperature is 40˚C, the Ni-Cd battery should generally be replaced after one year.
