Notes and Hints

ªConcerning the Power Supply

≥When the Movie Camera is used for a long time, the Camera body becomes warm, but this is not

a malfunction.

≥If the [CHARGE] Lamp does not light up although the Battery is attached to the AC Adaptor, detach the Battery and reattach it.

ªInserting/Removing the Cassette

≥In the case of using a previously recorded Cassette, you can use the Blank Search Function to find the position where you want to continue recording.

≥If a new Cassette is inserted, rewind to the beginning of the tape before starting recording.

≥When inserting the cassette, make sure it faces in the right direction and then push it in until it stops.

≥When the Cassette Holder is in action, do not touch anything except the [PUSH] mark.

≥When closing the Cassette Compartment Cover, do not get anything caught in the cover, such as a cable of the Free Style Remote Controller with Mic.
