Removing a Cassette
Perform step 1 above, then take out the cassette.
Cautions:
•Do not try to close the cassette compartment door while the cassette holder is extending or retracting.
•Be careful not to get your fingers caught in the cassette holder.
•Do not apply force to the cassette holder except when pressing the PUSH mark to close it.
•Do not tilt the VIEWCAM or hold it upside down when you are inserting or removing a cassette. It may damage the tape.
•Remove the cassette if you will not use the VIEWCAM for a long period of time.
•If you do not correctly close the cassette holder in step 3, the VIEWCAM’s cassette protection mechanism might eject the cassette. If this happens, repeat the insertion procedure.
•Do not attempt to pick up the VIEWCAM by the cassette compartment door.
Notes:
•If the battery power is too low, you may not be able to eject the cassette. Replace the battery pack with a fully charged one.
•See page 51 for more information on the video cassette tapes for use with this VIEWCAM.
