The CFV is an electronic device and consequently attention to power access is vital.
When working untethered it is therefore important to plan either battery loading or
battery replacement to ensure continued workflow.
Likewise, image storage is limited, particularly when using flash cards and appropri-
ate steps should also be taken when planning a shoot.
External storage is accomplished by FireWire connection to a separate hard disk or
a computer.

When attaching and removing the back, pay particular attention to the image sen-
sor area. The sensor itself is covered and therefore protected by the glass IR filter but
take great care when handling. I f you need to clean the filter, see later section for
specific details. When storing separated from the camera, always ensure you have
replaced the protective cover.
If you scratch or mark the filter in any way, it will show up on every shot. Replacements
are expensive so treat the glass surface with at least as much care as you would a
lens.
The sensor itself is not accessible for any kind of cleaning or maintenance by a user.
Do not attempt any such action as you will almost certainly damage it irreparably.
As is the case with all electronic devices pay extra care when working in damp en-
vironments and avoid damp conditions for storage.
