Cautions for Use
Take care that no water enters the Movie
Camera when using it in the rain and snow or
on the beach.
≥The Movie Camera and the cassette could
become damaged. (It might not be repairable.)
≥If seawater has accidentally splashed on the
Movie Camera, moisten a soft cloth with tap
water, wring it well and wipe the camera body
carefully with it. Then thoroughly wipe it with a
soft, dry cloth.
Keep the Movie Camera away from magnetized
equipment (TVs, video games, etc.).
≥Do not use near a cell phone because doing so
may cause noise to adversely affect the picture
and sound.
≥If you use the Movie Camera on or near a TV,
the electromagnetic radiation may cause picture
and sound distortion.
≥Strong magnetic fields generated by speakers
and large motors may damage the recordings on
the tape and distort the picture.
≥The electromagnetic radiation from micro-
processors can adversely influence the Movie
Camera and cause picture and sound distortion.
≥If the Movie Camera is adversely influenced by
magnetized equipment and does not work
correctly, turn the Movie Camera off, remove the
Battery or disconnect the AC Adaptor and attach
the Battery or connect the AC Adaptor again.
Then turn the Movie Camera on.
Do not use the Movie Camera near a radio
transmitter or high-voltage power line.
≥If you record near a radio transmitter or high-
voltage power line, the recorded picture and
sound may be adversely influenced.
Do not use the Movie Camera for surveillance
and other industrial application.
≥If the Movie Camera is being used for a long
time, the inside temperature could rise
excessively and this may cause malfunction.
≥This Movie Camera is not designed for industrial
use.
Take care that no sand and fine dust enters
the Movie Camera when using it on a beach or
similar places.
≥Sand and dust could damage the Movie Camera
and cassette. (Be careful when inserting and
removing the cassette.)
Do not spray insecticide or volatile agents on
the Movie Camera.
≥Such agents could deform the body and cause
the surface coating to peel off.
≥Do not leave the Movie Camera in direct contact
with rubber or plastic products for a long time.
Do not use benzine, alcohol or thinner for
cleaning.
≥They could deform the body and cause the
surface coating to peel off.
≥Before cleaning, remove the Battery or unplug
the AC Mains Lead from the AC mains socket.
≥Wipe the Movie Camera with a soft, clean cloth.
To remove persistent stains, wipe with a cloth
moistened with mild detergent diluted with water,
and then finish with a dry cloth.
After use, always take out the cassette and
remove the Battery or unplug the AC Mains
Lead from the AC mains socket.
≥If you leave the cassette in the Movie Camera,
the tape can become loosened and damaged.
≥If you leave the battery attached to the Movie
Camera for a long time, the voltage level may
drop very low so that the Battery cannot be used
any more even after charging.
Notes about the AC Adaptor
≥When the battery is warm, charging takes longer
than usual.
≥When you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, the
radio reception may be distorted. Keep the AC
Adaptor more than 1 metre away from the radio.
≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may emit a
whirring sound. However, this is normal.
≥After use, be sure to disconnect the AC Mains
Lead from the AC mains socket. (If you leave it
connected, a small amount of electricity is
consumed.)
≥Do not handle with wet hands.
