Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays), and humidity may damage the tape. Such usage may cause damage to the movie camera and the heads.

After use, be sure to rewind the tape to the

beginning, put the cassette in the case to protect it from dust, and store it upright.

Keep the cassette away from strong magnetism.

Apparatuses using magnets such as magnetic necklaces and toys have magnetic force that is stronger than expected, and they may erase the contents of a recording or may increase noise.

ªLCD monitor/viewfinder

LCD monitor

When the LCD monitor gets dirty, wipe it with a dry soft cloth.

In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with soft dry cloth.

If your movie camera is extremely cold, the LCD monitor is slightly darker than usual immediately after you turn the power on. However, as the internal temperature increases, it goes back to normal brightness.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

Viewfinder

To remove dust from inside the viewfinder, dismount the viewfinder first. When the dust is difficult to remove, get rid of it with a cotton swab dampened with water. Then wipe the viewfinder with a dry cotton swab.

To clean the inside of the viewfinder, keep pressing 1 and hold the eyecup 2 and pull it out.

Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately 113,000 pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction and does not affect the recorded picture.

ªPeriodical check-ups

To maintain the highest image quality, we recommend replacing worn parts such as heads after approx. 1000 hours of use. (This, however, depends on operating conditions including temperature, humidity and dust.)
