ªAbout AC Adaptor
≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely high
or extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp may
continue flashing, and the Battery may not be
charged. After the temperature of the Battery has
decreased or increased sufficiently, charging
starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] Lamp
continues to flash even after the Battery
temperature has decreased or increased
sufficiently, the Battery or AC Adaptor may be
faulty. In this case, please contact a dealer.
≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer time
than normal.
≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC Adaptor
1 metre or more away from radio.
≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate
whirring sounds. However, this is normal.
≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Mains Lead
from the AC mains socket. (If they are left
connected, a minute amount of current is
consumed.)
≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and Battery
always clean.
ªCondensation
If the Condensation Indication flashes after the
Movie Camera is turned on, condensation has
formed inside the Movie Camera. In this case, the
Movie Camera power is turned off automatically
after about 1 minute.
Follow the steps below:
1Take out the Cassette.
≥None of the other functions operate.
Depending on the amount of condensation,
removing the Cassette may even become
difficult. If this happens, wait for
2 to 3 hours before taking the Cassette out.
2Open the Cassette Compartment Cover

and wait for 2 to 3 hours.

≥The number of hours to wait depends on the
amount of condensation and ambient
temperature.
32 to 3 hours later, turn on the Movie

Camera power and check to see if the

Condensation Indication is displayed.

≥Even if the Condensation Indication is not
displayed, as a precaution, please wait for
another hour before using the Movie Camera.
