Notes:
≥Do not rewind the tape in the Head Cleaner after
every use. Rewind it only after the tape has
reached its end, and then use it again in the same
way from the beginning.
≥If the video heads again become clogged with dirt
soon after cleaning, this might be caused by a
damaged tape. In this case, stop using that
cassette immediately.
≥Be careful not to clean the video heads too much.
(Too much cleaning could cause excessive wear to
the video heads. If the video heads get worn, the
picture is not played back clearly even after
cleaning.)
≥If using the Head Cleaner does not clear the video
head clogging, the Movie Camera requires
cleaning or repairing by a service centre.
Please consult with your dealer.
≥Video head cleaning due to clogging is not a
malfunction of the product and is not covered by
your warranty.

≥Usually, still pictures recorded with 3-CCD Movie Cameras are field still pictures, whose vertical resolution
is approximately half of that of frame still pictures, and picture details are not very precise. (1 frame
consists of 2 fields.)
≥When recording moving objects, there is a slight difference between two fields. If these field still pictures
are recorded as a frame still picture, it will have broken up image contours.
≥To record still pictures with smooth contours in excellent picture quality, this Movie Camera is equipped
with the Progressive Photoshot Mode featuring:
an iris that closes like a shutter

lighting conditions, however, this Auto White Balance
Adjustment Mode may not be able to ensure natural
colours. (p. 113) In these cases, you can select either

The Movie Camera can be used as a Digital Still
Camera to record clear still pictures on the
MultiMediaCard. The size of the pictures that can be
recorded using this Movie Camera is 1.80 million
pixels, and recording pictures of this size is called
Mega-Pixel (over 1 million pixels) Still-Picture
Recording. Compared with normally recorded pictures,
pictures produced by Mega-Pixel Still-Picture
Recording are printed out more clearly. When pictures
are to be printed out, print them from the
MultiMediaCard. Otherwise, clear Mega-Pixel Pictures
cannot be obtained.

MultiMediaCard
The MultiMediaCard is a compact, lightweight and
removable external memory card. A great many
fun-filled titles (preset titles) have been recorded
on the supplied MultiMediaCard.
These preset titles will also be erased when the
Card is formatted.
SD Memory Card
The SD Memory Card (optional), which is the
same size as the MultiMediaCard, is an external
memory card with an even bigger memory
capacity. It has a write protect switch to prevent
the data writing and card formatting.
Concerning the compatibility of the Card
images
Image data files recorded on “MultiMediaCard”s or
“SD Memory Card”s by this Movie Camera are
based on DCF (Design Rules for Camera Files
Systems universal standard) established by JEIDA
(Japan Electronic Industry Development
Association).
Concerning the folder structure when using the
Card in a personal computer
When a Card containing recorded data is inserted
into a personal computer, some folders will be
displayed as shown above. (The Cards are shown
as graphical representations.)

data which has been set for the
pictures.
[Title]:
This contains the data of the preset
titles (Pre00001.ttl) and original titles
(Usr00001.jpg, Usr00001.ttl, etc.).
≥[Dcim], [Im01cdpf], [Private], [Vtf], etc. are
needed in terms of the folder structure: these
folders have nothing to do with the actual

Cautions for Use (Continued)
Determining Whether Condensation Has
Formed Inside and Remedy for Condensation
If the Condensation Indication flashes after you
turn on the Movie Camera, condensation has
formed inside the Movie Camera. In this case, the
Movie Camera automatically switches off after
approximately 1 minute.
Remedy as follows:
1
2
3
Take out the cassette.
All other functions do not work. Depending on
the amount of condensation, it may not be
possible to take out the cassette. In this case,
wait 2–3 hours before taking out the cassette.
Leave the Cassette Compartment open and
wait for 2–3 hours.
The required time depends on the amount of
condensation and the ambient temperature.
After 2–3 hours, turn the Movie Camera on
and check if the Condensation Indication
is displayed.
Even if the Condensation Indication is no
longer displayed, wait 1 more hour for added
safety before using the Movie Camera again.
Pay Attention to Condensation Even Before the
Condensation Indication Appears.
≥As condensation forms gradually, the
Condensation Indication may not appear for the
first 10–15 minutes after condensation has
formed inside.
≥In an extremely cold place, the condensation
could freeze and turn into frost. In such a case, it
takes an additional 2–3 hours for the frost to first
melt into condensation and then to be dissolved.
Remedy for a Fogged-up Lens
Set the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch to [OFF] and
leave the Movie Camera in this condition for about
1 hour. When the lens has reached about the
same temperature as its surroundings, it
automatically clears up.
Periodic Inspection
To ensure optimum picture quality, it is
recommended that you have worn-out parts such
as video heads replaced after approximately
1000 hours of use. (However, this depends
considerably on the conditions of use such as
temperature, humidity and dust.)
∫ Optimum Use of the Battery
Special Characteristics of the Battery
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Its ability to generate electric energy is based on
an internal chemical reaction. This reaction is
easily influenced by ambient temperature and
humidity, and the useful operation time that the
Battery can provide becomes shorter at high and
low temperatures. When used in extremely cold
surroundings, the Battery may only be able to
provide approximately 5 minutes of operation time.
If the Battery becomes extremely hot, a protection
function is activated and prevents the use of the
Battery for some time.
110
After Use, Always Remove the Battery.
Be sure to remove the Battery from the Movie
Camera. (If it is attached to the Movie Camera, a
small amount of electric current is consumed even
if the Movie Camera is turned off.) Leaving the
Battery attached to the Movie Camera for a very
long time could cause it to become excessively
discharged, so that it cannot be used any more
even after charging.
Keep the Battery’s Terminals Clean.
Be careful that the terminals do not get plugged up
with dust, dirt or other substances.
If you accidentally drop the Battery, confirm that
the Battery itself and the terminals are not
deformed. Attaching a deformed Battery to the
Movie Camera or to the AC Adaptor could damage
the Movie Camera or the AC Adaptor.
Discarding a Battery That Has Become
Unusable
≥The usable life of the Battery is limited.
≥Do not throw the Battery in a fire because it could
explode.
∫ Precautions for Storage
Before Storing the Movie Camera, Take out the
Cassette and Remove the Battery.
Store all equipment in a dry place where the
temperature remains relatively constant.
(Recommended temperature is 15oC–25oC and
recommended relative humidity is 40%–60%.)
Movie Camera
≥Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from
entering.
≥Never leave the Movie Camera in places with
high temperature.
Battery
≥Extremely low or high temperature shortens the
Battery life.
≥Storing it in places with oily smoke and a lot of
dust could cause the terminals to get rusty, and
this can result in malfunction.
≥Do not allow metal objects (such as
necklaces and hair pins) to touch the battery
terminals. Short-circuiting may occur and
generate heat, and touching it in this
condition could inflict serious burns.
≥Store the Battery in discharged condition. If you
store the Battery for a long time, it is
recommended that you charge it once a year and
completely use up the charge before storing it
again in discharged condition.
Cassette
≥Rewind the tape to its beginning before storing.
Leaving the cassette with the tape stopped
halfway for more than 6 months (depending on
the storing condition) loosens the tape. Be sure
to rewind it to the beginning.
≥Put the cassette in its case to store it.
Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) and
humidity could damage the tape. Dust contains
hard mineral particles and cassettes with dust
damage the video heads and other parts of the
Movie Camera. Make it a habit to always put the
cassette back into its case.
≥Completely wind the tape forward and then
rewind it once every half year. Leaving the
cassette for more than a year without winding/
rewinding it may deform the cassette because of
stretching and shrinking of the tape due to
changes in temperature and humidity. Also, the
tape may stick together.
≥Do not place the cassette near strongly
magnetized objects or equipment.
≥The tape surface is coated with microscopic
magnetic particles and they record signals. Such
objects as magnetic necklaces and toys have
stronger magnetic force than commonly thought,
and this could erase the recorded contents and
cause noise in picture and sound.
MultiMediaCard/SD Memory Card
≥While the Card is being read, do not remove it,
turn off the power, or subject it to vibrations and
shocks.
≥Do not leave the Card in a place with high
temperature, exposed to direct sunlight, or where
electromagnetic waves and static electricity can
be generated.
≥Do not bend or drop the Card as this could
damage the Card or the stored contents.
≥After use, be sure to remove the Card from
the Movie Camera.
≥After using the Card or when storing or carrying
it, put it in the supplied Card Case.
≥Do not touch the connector on the rear edge of
the Card with your fingers and take care that no
dirt, dust or water enters it.
∫ Other Useful Information
LCD Monitor
≥In places where big changes in temperature
occur, condensation may form on the LCD
Monitor. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
≥If the Movie Camera is very cold when it is turned
on, the picture on the LCD Monitor is initially a
little darker than normally. However, as the
internal temperature rises, the LCD Monitor
regains its normal brightness.
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen
featuring a total of approximately 200,000
pixels. The result is more than 99.99% effective
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive
or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction
and does not affect the recorded picture.
Viewfinder
≥Do not leave the Viewfinder or the Lens aimed at
the sun. This could seriously damage internal
parts.
≥If you use a large-capacity Battery (CGP-D320;
optional) attached to the Movie Camera, viewing
the picture in the Viewfinder from behind may not
be practical. In this case, turn up the Viewfinder
to an angle that allows comfortable viewing.
Extremely high precision technology is
employed to produce the Viewfinder screen
featuring a total of approximately 180,000
pixels. The result is more than 99.99% active
pixels with a mere 0.01% of the pixels inactive
or always lit. However, this is not a malfunction
and does not affect the recorded picture.
Lens Hood
≥When attaching the Filter Kit (VW-LF43WE,
optional), attach it on the inside of the Lens Hood
without removing the Lens Hood.
≥When you want to attach the Tele Conversion
Lens (VW-LT4314ME, optional) or the Wide
Conversion Lens (VW-LW4307ME, optional), be
sure to first remove the Lens Hood by turning it
counterclockwise.
≥During recording with a filter or conversions lens
attached, the four corners of the picture may
become dark (vignetting effect), when you push
the [W/T] Zoom Lever toward [W]. For details,
please also read the operating instructions of the
accessory being used.
Microphone Socket
≥If you want to perform audio dubbing via an
external microphone or audio equipment,
connect it to the [MIC] Socket. In this case, the
Movie Camera’s built-in microphone is turned off.
Video Flash
When using a Video Flash, setting [RED EYE
REDUCTION] on the [OTHER FUNCTIONS] SubMenu to [ON] can help reduce the “red eye”
phenomenon in your pictures.
≥When setting [RED EYE REDUCTION] to [ON],
the [£] Indication is displayed.
≥The [ß] Indication is flashing, when the Video
Flash is charging. When it is displayed, the flash
can be fired.
≥The available range of the Video Flash is
approximately 1 to 4 metres in a dark place.
Pictures will appear dark when they are recorded
using the Video Flash at distances greater than
4 metres.
≥When the Power Switch on the Video Flash is set
to the Auto position and the Movie Camera’s iris
is adjusted, the [ß] Indication may disappear and
the Video Flash may not fire.
≥The shutter speed and iris value are fixed when
the Video Flash is used.
≥Using the Video Flash outdoors or with backlight
or other bright conditions may result in white
blotches (colour blotches) on the pictures.
≥Under backlight conditions, either adjust the iris

Glossary
If you look at an object through a magnifying glass
and move it closer or further away from your eye,
you will reach a point where the object becomes
clearly visible. Being focused or in focus means
that the subject can be seen with optimum clarity
and sharpness.
Human Eyes
Human eyes have lenses as well, and when we
look at objects at different distances, the shape of
these lenses changes automatically so that we
can always see these objects clearly.
For the following subjects and recording
situations, the Auto Focus system cannot
provide precise adjustment. Use the Manual
Focus Mode instead. (p. 28)
1 Recording subjects with a part of it near the
Movie Camera and another part far away
from it
As the Auto Focus adjusts on the centre part of
the image, it is often impossible to bring the
nearby and distant parts of the subject into
focus.
When you want to record a person with a
distant mountain in the back, it is not possible
to focus on both.
Movie Camera
The image of the subject enters the Movie Camera
through the lens and is converted into an electric
signal (video signal) for recording onto magnetic
tape. The focus is adjusted either manually or
automatically by moving a focusing lens.
2 Recording subjects behind glass covered
Auto Focus Adjustment
The Auto Focus System automatically moves the
internal focusing lens forward or backward and
adjusts the focus so that the subject can be seen
clearly.
The Auto Focus Adjustment has the following
characteristics:
≥It adjusts until the vertical contours of the subject
are as sharp and clean as possible.
≥It adjusts the focus on the subjects with strong
contrast.
≥It adjusts the focus on the subject in the centre of
the LCD Monitor or Viewfinder.
Unlike human eyes, the lens of the Movie
Camera cannot instantaneously change the
focus from a nearby to a distant subject and vice
versa.
3 Recording subjects in dark surroundings
Lens Unit
The lens construction used in this Movie Camera
generates some clicking noise if the Movie
Camera is rocked up and down while it is turned
off. This is not a malfunction of the lens unit. This
noise does not occur when the Movie Camera is
turned on.
112
with dirt or dust
As the focus is adjusted on the dirty glass, the
subject behind the glass is out of focus. When
recording a subject across a street on which
cars are running, the focus may be adjusted on
the cars.
As the amount of light information entering
through the lens is greatly reduced, the Movie
Camera cannot adjust the focus precisely.
4 Recording subjects surrounded by objects
with shiny surfaces or much light reflection
As the Movie Camera adjusts the focus on
objects with shiny surfaces or much light
reflection, the subject may go out of focus.
Therefore, when recording at a lake or the sea,
evening scenes, fireworks, or under special
types of lighting, the subject may be out of
focus.
5 Recording fast-moving subjects
As the internal focusing lens is moved
mechanically, it cannot follow fast-moving
subjects without delay.
Therefore, subjects like children running back
and forth may temporarily go out of focus.
6 Subjects with weak contrast
As the Movie Camera adjusts the focus based
on vertical contours in the picture, subjects with
little contrast such as a white wall may be out of
focus.
∫ White Balance Adjustment
∫ Colour Temperature
While most recording with a Movie Camera is
probably done outdoors under sunlight, video
recording is also done very often under artificial
light sources, both indoors and outdoors.
However, each of these light sources gives the
subject slightly different colours.
Every light source has its own colour temperature
measured in Kelvin (K). The higher the Kelvin
value, the more bluish the light; the lower the
value, the more reddish the light. The Kelvin value
is related to the tint of the light, however not
directly to its brightness.
The range 1 indicated in the illustration below
shows the light sources for which this Movie
Camera can provide precise white balance
adjustment and, therefore, natural colours in the
recorded pictures, when using the Full Auto Mode.
For light sources outside this range, adjust the
white balance manually. (p. 60) Also, additional
lighting may be necessary.
Human Eyes
Human eyes can easily adjust to different kinds of
lighting and see an object with the same colours
even under different lighting.
Movie Camera
Unlike human eyes, the Movie Camera does not
have the innate ability to adapt to changes in
lighting, and they influence the colours being
recorded. Therefore, depending on the light
source, the picture would be recorded with a
bluish or reddish tint. To minimise the influence of
the lighting on the colours of the subject, an
adjustment called White Balance Adjustment is
necessary.
White Balance Adjustment
The White Balance Adjustment determines the
colour of the light and adjusts the colours so that
white remains pure white. As white is the basic
colour of the entire colour spectrum, if white is
reproduced correctly, the other colours are correct
and natural, too.
Auto White Balance Adjustment
This Movie Camera stores the optimum settings
for several common light sources in memory. The
Movie Camera judges the recording situation by
determining the tint of the light received through
the lens and by the White Balance Sensor (p. 5),
and it selects the setting for the most similar tint.
This function is called Auto White Balance
Adjustment.
However, as the white balance settings for only a
few light sources are stored in memory, the white
balance is not correctly adjusted for other lighting
conditions.
For the range of different types of lighting within
which the Auto White Balance Function can
provide precise adjustment, refer to the chart. For
recording under lighting conditions outside this
range, the Auto White Balance Function does not
work correctly, and the recorded picture has a red
or blue cast. However, the same also applies, if
the subject is lit by more than one light source,
even if these light sources are within this range.

Glossary (Continued)
In the digital video system, picture and sound are
converted into digital signals and recorded onto
the tape.
This completely digital recording allows recording
and playback of picture and sound with minimum
quality deterioration.
In addition, such data as Time code, Date and
Time are also automatically recorded as digital
signals.
Features
≥Superior picture resolution
≥Excellent signal-to-noise ratio
≥Stable pictures
≥Minimised quality deterioration in dubbing
≥Minimised cross colour distortion
≥PCM digital sound
≥No picture deterioration in LP Mode
≥6.35 mm-wide tape
≥Compact cassette with long recording time
≥Minimised quality deterioration in editing
≥Time Code editing
Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
As this Movie Camera uses a digital method for
recording picture and sound, there is no
compatibility with conventional S-VHS or VHS
video equipment using analog recording methods.
In addition, the size and shape of the cassette are
completely different.
Compatibility with Output Signals
As the video and audio signals output from the
audio and video output sockets are analog—the
same as in conventional video systems—you can
connect this Movie Camera to your S-VHS or VHS
VCR or TV for playback.
PCM Digital Sound
For recording of the sound, this Movie Camera
offers the choice between two different PCM Audio
Recording Modes.
≥16 bit, 48 kHz, 2 channels
≥12 bit, 32 kHz, 4 channels
The “16 bit, 48 kHz, 2 channels” Mode offers
superior recording sound quality.
The “12 bit, 32 kHz, 4 channels” Mode lets you
record the original sound in stereo on two
channels and the dubbed sound in stereo on two
separate channels.
Sub Code
The digital recording system offers the added
capability of recording sub code containing various
data.
The following data is recorded as sub code on this
Movie Camera:
≥Time code
≥Recording date and time
≥Index signals for locating still images recorded in
the Photoshot Mode
≥Index signals for locating the beginning of
scenes marked with index signal
114
∫ Time Code
Time Code signals are the data which indicates
the time in hours, minutes, seconds and frames
(25 frames/sec). Having this data included in the
recording gives every single picture on the tape its
own address.
≥The Time Code is automatically recorded as part
of the sub code with every recording you make.
≥When you insert a new (previously unrecorded)
cassette, the Time Code automatically starts from
zero. If you insert a recorded cassette, the Time
Code continues where the time code of the last
previous scene stopped. (In this case, the zero
indication [0h00m00s00f] may appear after inserting
the cassette, however when the recording starts, the
Time Code records from the previous value.)
≥You cannot reset the Time Code to zero.
≥In playback modes other than the Normal
Playback Mode, the Time Code may not be
displayed (or not be correct).
≥Unless the Time Code is recorded continuously
from the beginning of the tape, precise editing
may not be possible. To ensure that the Time
Code is recorded without interruption, it is
recommended that you use the Camera Search
Function (p. 42) or Blank Search Function
(p. 42) before starting to record a new scene.
∫ Memory Stop Function
The Memory Stop Function is convenient for the
following operations.
Rewinding or fast-forwarding the tape to a
desired position
Set [C.DISPLAY] on the [DISPLAY SETUP]
Sub-Menu to [MEMORY].
Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the tape
position from which you want to play back
later. (p. 19, 98)
Start playback or recording.
After playback or recording is finished:
Slide the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch from the
[ON] position to put the Movie Camera in
the VCR Mode.
The [VCR] Lamp lights.
Rewind the tape.
The tape automatically stops approximately at
the position at which you reset the counter to
zero.
