ªRecording the Contents of Other

Equipment

≥You cannot record on a tape when MPEG4
recording from external input signals is in
progress.
You cannot record on a card when recording on
a tape from external input signals is in progress.
Recording to a Card
If you set the Mode Dial to Card Recording Mode,
you can use the Photoshot function for external
input signals.
≥Black streaks may appear at the 4 edges of the
image.
Analog-Digital Conversion
≥When the Movie Camera is connected with
other digital video equipment through its DV
Terminal, images recorded in analog form from
other external equipment can be output to the
digital video equipment through the DV
Terminal.
≥To DV-output analog video signals sent from
other equipment, set [DV OUT] on the
[AV IN/OUT] Sub-Menu to [ON]. (Normally,
keep the [DV OUT] set to [OFF]. If it is set to
[ON], the quality of the image may be
disturbed.)
≥When using AV Cable and DV Cable (optional)
at the same time, detach the Grip Belt first for
easy connecting.

ªUsing the DV Cable for Recording

(Digital Dubbing)

≥Regardless of the setting, digital dubbing is
carried out automatically in the same audio
recording mode as that of the playback
Cassette.
≥The images on the recorded monitor may be
disturbed, but it does not affect the recorded
images.
≥Even if Playback Digital Effects, Playback
Zoom, or Playback Title In have been used,
these effects are not output from the DV
Terminal.
≥Even if you use device equipped with DV
Terminals (such as IEEE1394), you may not be
able to perform Digital Dubbing in some cases.
≥Date or other information to be displayed cannot
be displayed if the software of the connected
equipment does not support the display
function.
≥You cannot record on a tape when MPEG4
recording from external input signals is in
progress.
You cannot record on a card when recording on
a tape from external input signals is in progress.

ªCautions for Use

When you use your Movie Camera on a rainy
or snowy day or on a beach, make sure that
no water enters the Movie Camera.
≥Water may cause the Movie Camera or
Cassette to malfunction. (Irreparable failure
may occur.)
≥If sea water splashes onto the Movie Camera,
wet a soft cloth with tap water, wring it well, and
use it to wipe the camera body carefully. Then,
wipe it again thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
Keep the Movie Camera away from
magnetized equipment (such as a microwave
oven, TV, video game equipment, etc.).
≥If you use the Movie Camera on or near a TV,
images or sounds may be disturbed due to
electromagnetic wave radiation.
≥Do not use near cell phone because doing so
may cause noise to adversely affect the picture
and sound.
≥Recordings on the tape may be damaged, or
images may be distorted, by strong magnetic
fields created by speakers or large motors.
≥Electromagnetic wave radiation generated by a
microprocessor may adversely affect the Movie
Camera, causing the disturbance of images and
sounds.
≥If the Movie Camera is affected by magnetically
charged equipment and does not function
properly, turn off the Movie Camera power and
detach the Battery or AC Adaptor and then
connect the Battery or AC Adaptor again.
Thereafter, turn on the Movie Camera power.
Do not use your Movie Camera near radio
transmitters or high-voltage cables.
≥If you record pictures near radio transmitters or
high-voltage cables, recorded images or sounds
may be adversely affected.
Do not use this Movie Camera for surveillance
purposes or other business use.
≥If you use the Movie Camera for a long period of
time, the internal temperature increases and,
consequently, this may cause malfunction.
≥This Movie Camera is not intended for business
use.
