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.
