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.

ªAbout 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: 15oC to 25oC, 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.

Do not throw old battery into fire.

Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire may result in an explosion.

If the operating time is very short even after the battery has been recharged, the battery has worn out. Please purchase a new battery.
