Notes on use In “Handycam Handbook” (this Handbook) The operations and handling of your camcorder are explained. Refer also to “Operating Guide” (the separate volume). Handling the images recorded on your camcorder on the computer “Memory Stick PRO Duo” can be used only with “Memory Stick PRO” compatible equipment. Do not attach a label or the like on a “Memory Stick PRO Duo” or a Memory Stick Duo adaptor. Insert the “Memory Stick PRO Duo” into the Memory Stick Duo adaptor when using a “Memory Stick PRO Duo” with “Memory Stick” compatible equipment. On using the camcorder Do not hold the camcorder by the following parts, and also do not hold the camcorder by the jack covers. Refer to “PMB Guide” stored on the supplied CD-ROM. Types of “Memory Stick” you can use with your camcorder For recording movies, it is recommended that you use a “Memory Stick PRO Duo” of 512 MB or larger marked with: (“Memory Stick PRO Duo”)* (“Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo”) * Marked with Mark2 or not, either can be used. See page 58 for the recordable time of a “Memory Stick PRO Duo.” “Memory Stick PRO Duo”/“Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo” (This size can be used with your camcorder.) “Memory Stick” (You cannot use it in your camcorder.) “Memory Stick PRO Duo” and “Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo” are both referred to as “Memory Stick PRO Duo” in this manual. You cannot use any type of memory card other than those mentioned above. LCD screen The Battery pack camcorder is not dustproofed, dripproofed or waterproofed. See “About handling of your camcorder” (p. 95). Do not do any of the following when the (Movie)/ (Still) mode lamp (p. 17) or the ACCESS lamp (p. 25) is lit or flashing. Otherwise, the media may be damaged, recorded images may be lost or other malfunctions could occur. Remove the “Memory Stick PRO Duo.” Remove the battery pack or AC Adaptor from the camcorder. Apply mechanical shock or vibration to the camcorder. When connecting your camcorder to another device with a cable, be sure to insert the connector plug in the correct way. Pushing the plug forcibly into the terminal will damage the terminal and may result in a malfunction of your camcorder. Disconnect the AC Adaptor from the Handycam Station holding both the Handycam Station and the DC plug. Be sure to turn the POWER switch to OFF (CHG), when you set the camcorder onto the Handycam Station or remove the camcorder from it. Connect About changing the language setting About menu items, LCD panel and lens The on-screen displays in each local language are used for illustrating the operating procedures. Change the screen language before using your camcorder if necessary (p. 18). cables to the connectors of the Handycam Station when using your camcorder attached to the Handycam Station. Do not connect the cables to both the Handycam Station and your camcorder. A menu item that is grayed out is not available under the current recording or playback conditions. The LCD screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology, so over 99.99% of the pixels are effective. However, there may be some tiny black points and/or bright points (white, red, blue, or green in color) that appear constantly on the LCD screen. These points are normal results of the manufacturing process and do not affect the recording in any way. About this Handbook The LCD screens and indicators shown in this Handbook were taken with a digital still camera, and may look different from what you actually see. Design and specifications of media and other accessories are subject to change without notice. In this Handbook, the hard disk of your camcorder and “Memory Stick PRO Duo” are called “media.” About the Carl Zeiss lens Black point White, red, blue or green point Exposing the LCD screen or the lens to direct sunlight for long periods of time may cause malfunctions. Do not aim at the sun. Doing so might cause your camcorder to malfunction. Take images of the sun only in low light conditions, such as at dusk. Your camcorder is equipped with a Carl Zeiss lens, which was developed jointly by Carl Zeiss in Germany, and Sony Corporation, and produces superior images. It adopts the MTF measurement system for video cameras and offers a quality typical of a Carl Zeiss lens. Also, the lens for your camcorder is T -coated to suppress unwanted reflections, then faithfully reproduce colors. MTF = Modulation Transfer Function. The number value indicates the amount of light from a subject coming into the lens. On recording Before starting to record, test the recording function to make sure the image and sound are recorded without any problems. Compensation for the contents of recordings cannot be provided, even if recording or playback is not possible due to a malfunction of the camcorder, recording media, etc. TV color systems differ depending on the countries/regions. To view your recordings on a TV, you need an NTSC system-based TV. Television programs, films, video tapes, and other materials may be copyrighted. Unauthorized recording of such materials may be contrary to the copyright laws. Notes on using the Hard Disk Drive Handycam Save all your recorded image data To prevent your image data from being lost, save all your recorded images on external media periodically. It is recommended that you save the image data on a disc such as a DVD-R using your computer (p. 37). Also, you can save your image data using a VCR, or a DVD/HDD recorder (p. 47). Do not apply shock or vibration to your camcorder The hard disk of the camcorder may not be recognized, or recording or playback may not be possible. Especially, during recording/playback, do not apply shock. After recording, do not apply vibration or shock to the camcorder, while the ACCESS lamp is lit. When using a shoulder belt (not supplied), do not crash the camera against an object. Do not use this camcorder in very loud areas. The hard disk of the camcorder may not be recognized, or recording or playback may not be possible. On the drop sensor To protect the internal hard disk from shock by dropping, the camcorder has a drop sensor function (p. 69). When a drop occurs, or under a non-gravity condition, the block noise made when this function is activated by the camcorder may also be recorded. If the drop sensor catches a drop repeatedly, recording/ playback may be stopped. Notes on battery pack/AC Adaptor Be sure to remove the battery pack or the AC Adaptor after turning off the POWER switch. Note on operating temperatures When the temperature of the camcorder becomes extremely high or extremely low, you may not be able to record or play back on the camcorder, due to the protection features of the camcorder being activated in such situations. In this case, a message appears on the LCD screen (p. 86). When the camcorder is connected to a computer Do not try to format the hard disk of the camcorder using a computer. If you do so, your camcorder may not operate correctly. Note on using the camcorder at high altitudes Do not turn on the camcorder in a low-pressure area, where the altitude is more than 3,000 meters (9,800 feet). Doing so may damage the hard disk drive of your camcorder. Note on disposal/transfer If you perform [MEDIA FORMAT] (p. 53) to format the hard disk of the camcorder, data may not be completely deleted from the hard disk. When you transfer the camcorder, it is recommended that you perform [ EMPTY] (p. 54) to prevent the recovery of your data. In addition to the above, when you dispose of the camcorder, it is recommended that you destroy the actual body of the camcorder. If you cannot record/play back images, perform [MEDIA FORMAT] If you repeat recording/deleting images for a long time, fragmentation of data occurs on the media. Images cannot be saved or recorded. In such a case, save your images on some type of external media first (p. 37), and then perform [MEDIA FORMAT] (p. 53).

To use a “Memory Stick Micro” with your camcorder, you need a Duo-sized M2 Adaptor. Insert the “Memory Stick Micro” into the Duosized M2 Adaptor, and then insert the adaptor into the Memory Stick Duo slot. If you insert a “Memory Stick Micro” into your camcorder without using a Duo-sized M2 Adaptor, you might not be able to remove it from your camcorder. Do not leave the “Memory Stick Micro” within the reach of small children. They might accidentally swallow it. An “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a lithium-ion battery pack that has functions for communicating information related to operating conditions between your camcorder and an optional AC Adaptor/ charger. The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack calculates the power consumption according to the operating conditions of your camcorder, and displays the remaining battery time in minutes. On image data compatibility To charge the battery pack Image Be data files recorded on a “Memory Stick PRO Duo” by your camcorder conform to the “Design rule for Camera File system” universal standard established by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association). On your camcorder, you cannot play back still images recorded on other devices (DCRTRV900 or DSC-D700/D770) that do not conform to the universal standard. (These models are not sold in some regions.) If you cannot use a “Memory Stick PRO Duo” that has been used with another device, format it with your camcorder (p. 53). Note that formatting erases all information on the “Memory Stick PRO Duo.” You may not be able to play back images with your camcorder: When playing back image data modified on your computer When playing back image data recorded with other devices About the “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack Your camcorder operates only with an “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (H series). “InfoLITHIUM” H series battery packs have the mark. 94 sure to charge the battery pack before you start using your camcorder. We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10 °C to 30 °C (50 ˚F to 86 ˚F) until the /CHG (charge) lamp turns off. If you charge the battery pack outside of this temperature range, you may not be able to charge it efficiently. After charging is complete, disconnect the cable from the DC IN jack on the Handycam Station or your camcorder, then remove the battery pack. To use the battery pack effectively Battery pack performance decreases when the surrounding temperature is 10 °C (50 °F) or below, and the length of time you can use the battery pack becomes shorter. In that case, do one of the following to use the battery pack for a longer time. Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up, and insert it in your camcorder right before you start taking shots Use a large capacity battery pack: NP-FH70/ FH100 (optional) Frequent use of the LCD screen or a frequent playback, fast forward or rewind operation wears out the battery pack faster. We recommend using a large capacity battery pack: NP-FH70/FH100 (optional). Be sure to set the POWER switch to OFF (CHG) when not recording or playing back on your camcorder. The battery pack is also consumed when your camcorder is in recording standby or playback pause. Have spare battery packs ready for two or three times the expected recording time, and make trial recordings before making the actual recording. Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water resistant. About the remaining battery time indicator When the power goes off even though the remaining battery time indicator indicates that the battery pack has enough power to operate, charge the battery pack fully again. Remaining battery time will be indicated correctly. Note, however, that the battery indication will not be restored if it is used in high temperatures for a long time, or if left in a fully charged state, or when the battery pack is frequently used. Use the remaining battery time indication as a rough guide only. The mark that indicates low battery flashes even if there are still approximately 20 minutes of battery time remaining, depending on the operating conditions or ambient temperature. About storage of the battery pack If About battery life Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new one. Each battery’s life is governed by storage, operating and environmental conditions. On use and care Do not use or store the camcorder and accessories in the following locations: Anywhere extremely hot, cold or humid. Never leave them exposed to temperatures above 60°C (140 °F), such as under direct sunlight, near heaters or in a car parked in the sun. They may malfunction or become deformed.
