[3] Cleaning the Video Heads
The video heads are the means by which the Movie Camera places
picture signals on the tape during recording, and rears picture
signals from the tape during playback. If these heads become dirty
and clogged from long use, the signals can no longer be recorded
correctly, and the playback picture will be distorted accordingly.
This is the case, for exampie. during the playback of a tape, the
sound of which is reproduced narmally, but no picture is seen, or
the picture is greatly distorted. H such symptoms occur, have the
Movie Camera checked by qualified service personnel.
This Movie Camera is equipped with Head Clogging Detection
Function. When the heads are clogged, the "€3" Indication in the
Viewfinder appears. As the accumulation of dirt on the heads may
be dislodged by the movement of the tape. it is possible that this
indication sometimes appears, but may not reappear on the next
friming start.
The Head Clogging Detection Function wiil be activated when the
fuming is started from the Filming Pause Mode. However, it will not
be activated when filming immediately atter replac:ng the cassette
and after playing back some part of the tape.
Symptom:
The Head Clogging Indication “63” appears in the Viewfinder,
The playback image becomes distorted as shown inthe
illustrations on the left,
Remedy:
Use an opticnal Cleaning Tape and play it back to remove dirt from
the video heads.
Ш Causes of Video Head Clogging
1. Dustin the air
2. High ambient temperature, high humidity
3. Scratches on the tape
4. Long-term use of the Movie Camera

very small ohjects, photos, printed matter, insects and
many other things. The subject can be approached
down to a minimum distance of 4 cm between lens and
subject.
Hints for Filming with the Macro Close-up Function
eTo get more or less of the subject into the picture, change the
distance between the lans and the subject; do not use the [W] or
[N Zoom Button.
e As the depth of field is very small in macro filming, even sight
camara movements can cause the subject to go out of focus.
Therefore, it is recommended to use a tripod (optionat).
eWhen the zoom lens is in its maximum telephoto position, the
minimum filming distance between lens and subjects 1.5m.
ein macro close-up fiming, the subject can be approached down

[1] How to Film with Automatic
White Balance Adjustment
To human eyes, white subjects appear as white even under
different lighting conditions. A Movie Camera. however, would give
these white subjects. depending on the colour of the light source,
a reddish or bluish tint. To atiain f:imed scenes with natural colours,
it Is necessary to ad;us: the sensor in the camera to the existing
coiour of the light. This adjustment is called white balance
adjustment. This camera offers two modes for this adjustment:
Automatic and Manual White Balance Adjustment.
The Automatic White Balance Adjustment Function provides
satisfactory resuits with almost all subjects. (No operation is
necessary.)
When the '"* “Indication i displayed i in the Viewfinder. the

Movie Camera is not in the Auto White Balance Mode. In this case.
press the [W.B] Button to make the * =E- ~ Indication disappear.
eli the Movie Camera is moved from outdoors to indoors during
fiiming. the picture will initially take on a slightly reddish cast but it
wi:l gradually regain its naturai colours.
ein the foliow:ng filming situations. the Auio White Balance
Adjustment Mode may not provide satisfaciory results; use the
Manual White Balance Adjustment Mode instead:
For the following types of scenes, the Automatic White Balance
Adjustment Mode cannot provide satisfactory results, even :f the
light source 1s within the range shown: on page 52. Use the Manual
White Balance Adiustment Mode instead.
eWhen a Scene Is Lit by Several Light Sources
If there is more than one light source for a scene, the Movie
Camera cannot decide which of the stored White Balance
Adiusiment seltings to use. Therefore, precise Automatic White
Balance Adjusiment is not possible in such cases.
«When Filming an Outdoor Scene from Inside a Building

White Balance Adjustment Function compensates for indoor

eWhen Filming in a Very Dark Place
As the colour information entering through the lens is greatly

cannot correctly compensate for :he colour of the flighting and this
results in unnatural colours.

VITC Signals
1 [POWER]
This Movie Camera is equipped with a built-:n VITC Generator and
it automatically records VITC signals (Vertical interval Time Code).
it can count up continuously from 0 to a maximum of 24 hours.
Using a VITC Editing Controller System. cassette tapes recorded
with VITC signais can be edited more conveniently and with
frame-by-frame precision
Note:
For actual editing. refer to the Cperating Instructions of the VITC
Editing Controller System.
ФА built-in lithium battery ensures that the last time code value
reached before the filming was interrupted is always retainad in
merncry. Thus when filming is resumed ater. the time code
sequence continues from the point where it was halted. even if
the Movie Camera was switched off
e Reseting the Time Code is performed by momentarily ejecting
the cassetts tape and pressing the Filming Star/Stop Bution.
Cautions for Fliming with VITC Time Code
To ensure that the desired scenes can be found during editing, the
time code must be recorded continuously without any gaps.
1. Provide a blank leader portion at the beginning of each video
cassette by leaving the Lens Cap on the Lens and stating to
film. Continue filming like this for at least 20 seconds.

~ and its accessories.
Video Head Clogging
= = = Ш PF 7°
“The video heads are the means by which the Movie Camera places
- picture signals on the tape during recording, and reads picture
signals from the tape during playback. If these heads become dirty
and clogged from long use, the signais can no longer be recorded
or played back correctly. This is the case, if the sound of a tape
during playback is reproduced normally, but the picture isnot
visible or greatly distorted. When such symptoms occur, have the
Movie Camera checked by qualified service personnel.
- This Movie Camera is equipped with Head Clogging Detection
Function. When the heads are clogged, the * €3 " Indication in the
Viewfinder will appear. As the accumulation of dirt on the heads
Tay ba dislodged by the movement of the tape, it is possible that
this indication sometimes appears, but may not reappear on the
next recording start.
The Head Clogging Detection Function will be activated when the
filming is started from the filming pause mode. However, it will not
be activated when filming immediately after replacing the cassette
and after playing back some part of the tape.
If Condensation Forms Inside the
Movie Camera
Condensation {dew} forms when warm air comes in contact with a
cold object, for example on a window in a heated room in winter.
Condensation may also form in the Movie Camera and damage the
tape and the video heads, if:
.. «The Movie Camera is in a room where the heater has just been
turned on.
+The Movie Camera is in a room with steam or high humidity.
= The Movie Camera is brought from cold surroundings into a well-
~ heated room.
#Tha Movie Camera is suddenly brought from cool surroundings,
— such as an air-conditioned room or car, to a place which is hot
and humid.
sWhen condensation has formed inside the Movie Camera, the
“DEW indication in the Viewfinder will asf and few seconds
.. later, the Movie Camera will turn itself off to protect the tape and
the video heads.
After a while, turn the Movie Camera on again and make sure that
the “DEW Indication is not displayed any more. Then, wait about
1 hour before operating the Movie Camera again. Depending on
the surrounding conditions, it may take several hours before the
Movie Camera can be used again.
= As condensation forms gradually, it may take about
10-15 minules before the Movie Camera turns itself off after a
change of working environment.
ein an extremely cold place, condensation may freeze and turn
into frost. In this case, it may take quite some time for the frost to
mell, turn into dew and evaporate,
«When you bring the Movie Camera from a very cold place, e.g.
the ski slopes, into a heated room, keep it in a tightly closed
— plastic bag or similar to prevent condensation from forming inside
— the Movie Camera.
