7-2-2 Phenomenon Inherent to CCD Cameras

Smears

Smears may appear when shooting an object with very high brightness.

This phenomenon may appear more frequently as the electronic shutter speed increases.

7-2-3 Replacing the Backup Battery	7

The camera is shipped from the factory with a backup battery already mounted.

When the battery runs out, the [BACK UP BATT EMPTY] display appears on the viewfinder screen for 3 seconds after the power switch is turned ON.

The internal clock stops operating when the battery runs out. Also, the TCG time code value returns to [00:00:00:00], and the time code backup is disabled. The battery must be replaced.

Please consult your nearest service centre for replacement with a new battery (CR2032).

The backup battery is visible when the panel on the LCD monitor side is removed (right side when viewed from the front).
