Recording in Dark Places Without Any

Illumination

(0 Lux Night View Function)

This function is convenient when you want to record at night in places without any illumination, for example for observing the behavior of nocturnal animals, etc. In this mode, the Movie Camera emits infrared rays which makes it possible to record subjects that are invisible to the naked eye.

1 Set the [0 LUX OFF/ON] Switch to [ON] to make the [0LUX] Indication 1 appear.

The built-in Infra-red Beam Emitters 2 light. Be careful not to cover them with your hand when recording.

Do not use the 0 Lux Night View Function in brightly lit places and never aim the Movie Camera against the sun, as this could cause irreparable damage.

The playback picture of scenes recorded with the

0 Lux Night View Function will be in black and white. If you change the setting of the [0 LUX OFF/ON] Switch

during recording, a switching noise is also recorded. When recording with the 0 Lux Night View Function, it is not

possible to adjust the white balance manually or to cancel the manually adjusted white balance setting.

It is not possible to use any of the Program AE Modes when the 0 Lux Night View Mode is activated.

When using the 0 Lux Night View Function, the subject should be within 3 metres from the Movie Camera.

When the automatic focusing is not precise, adjust the focus manually.

If you do not want the Tally Lamp 3 to light during recording using the 0 Lux Night View Function, set [TALLY LAMP] on the [CAMERA SETUP] Sub-Menu to [OFF].

As the iris is fully opened in the 0 Lux Night View Mode, subjects in white or other light colors may be recorded whitish, blurred and with weak contrast.

Cancelling the 0 Lux Night View Function

Set the [0 LUX OFF/ON] Switch to [OFF] to make the [0LUX]
