E Checking the Remaining Battery Power
You can confirm the remaining charge in the
attached Battery in the Viewfinder or on the LCD
Monitor. This also shows you approximately how
much more continuous recording time you can get
from the attached Battery. The indicated time does
not change in 1-minute steps.
The above illustrations show how the Remaining
Battery Operation Time Indication changes
according to the remaining operation time.
(T: Actual Remaining Battery Operation Time
(A): Remaining Battery Operation Time
Indication (This indication does not appear
when recording in the Mirror Mode.) (p. 27)
Remaining Battery Power & Operation Time
Indication
This Indication shows the remaining duration of
continuous recording at an ambient temperature of
25°C when a fully charged Battery was attached.
Therefore, in the following cases, the actual
available recording time is different from the times
shown above;
When Recording Is Not Performed
Continuously
In most cases, you will frequently start and stop
recording, turn the Movie Camera on and off, and
use the zoom and other functions, all of which
consume power. Therefore, the actual available
recording time from the Battery is approximately
30-50% shorter than listed. (p. 9)
A
When the Ambient Temperature ls Extremely
Low or Extremely High
The characteristics of the Battery vary according
to the ambient temperature, and ata very low
temperature, the possible recording time becomes
extremely short.
In addition, the Remaining Battery Operation Time
Indication on the Movie Camera decreases a littie
faster than at an ambient temperature of 25°C.
(At a higher temperature, it tends to decrease
more slowly.)
When the Service Life of the Battery Has
Reached Its End
When the operation time even after full charging is
too short for normal use, the service life of the
Battery has reached its end. (p. 96)
Inserting the Button-type Battery
Before setting the date and time, insert the button-type battery (supplied).
1 Open the [BACKUP BATTERY] Cover.
2 Insert the button-type battery so that its
(+) side is visible.
3 Close the [BACKUP BATTERY] Cover.
® Before inserting or removing the button-type
battery, be sure to set the [CAMERA/OFF/VCR]
Switch to [OFF].
When the button-type battery is exhausted, the
[£8] Indication flashes. In this case, replace it
with a new CR2025 battery.
(The life of the battery is about 3 years.)
e lo make it easier to remove the button-type
battery, use a pointed object.
e When you remove the button-type battery, be
careful not to drop it.
* Keep the button-type battery out of the reach of
children.
eMake sure you insert the battery with its poles
correctly aligned.
e The internal clock works even when the Movie
Camera is turned off, and it consumes power
from the button-type battery.

Cautions for Use (cont.)
8 Condensation
If Condensation Has Formed Inside the Movie
Camera, Recording is Not Possible.
Symptoms of Condensation
If the following symptoms occur, condensation has
formed inside the Movie Camera.
@ The Condensation Indication “U10/{§]” in
the Viewfinder flashes.
After this indication flashes for a few seconds,
the Movie Camera automatically turns off.
O When you turn on the Movie Camera, it
turns off.
However, the Movie Camera also turns off
when the Battery is discharged.
Remedy
© Wait a few hours before operating the Movie
Camera again.
(The actual time depends on the surrounding
conditions.)
O Turn on the Movie Camera.
€ Confirm that the Condensation Indication is
not displayed any more.
© For added safety, wait about 1 more hour.
Remarks about Condensation
es Condensation can form if the Movie Camera is
suddenly brought from cold surroundings to a
place where it is hot or humid.
Since condensation forms gradually, there may
already be some condensation inside the Movie
Camera even before the Condensation
Indication begins to flash.
ein an extremely cold place, condensation may
freeze and turn into frost. As the Movie Camera
cannot detect frost, the Condensation Indication
does not appear until the frost melts.
Precautions against Condensation
When moving it from a very cold place to a very
warm place, keep it in a tightly closed plastic bag
or similar to prevent condensation from forming.
E Cautions for Transport
e When not actually recording, carry the Movie
Camera in a specially designed Carrying Case.
eKeep the packing materials. When transporting
the Movie Camera in the future, pack it in the
same way as it was when you purchased it.
E 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.
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.
Discarding a Battery That Has Become
Unusable
e The usable life of the Battery Is limited.
eDo not throw the Battery in a fire because it
could explode.
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.
@ 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 15°C-—25°C and
recommended relative humidity is 40%—60%.)
Movie Camera
eWrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust form
entering.
eNever leave the Movie Camera in piace with
high temperature.
Battery
e Extremely low or high temperature shortens the
Battery life.
e Storing it in places with oily smoke and a lot of
dust could cause the terminals to get rusty, and
this can result in a 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. |
eStore the Battery in discharged condition. If you
store the Battery for a long time, we recommend
that you charge it once a year and completely
use up the charge before storing it again in
discharged condition.
Cassette
e 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.
ePut the cassette in its case to store it.
Dust, direct sunlight (uitraviolet 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.
e Do not place the cassette near strongly
magnetized objects or equipment.
eThe 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.

E Other Useful Information
LCD Monitor
e ln places where big changes in temperature occur,
condensation may form on the LCD Monitor, Wipe it
with a soft, dry cloth.
eExtremely high precision technology is employed in
producing the LCD Monitor. 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.
eWhen the Movie Camera is very cold when turning it
on, the picture on the LCD Monitor is darker than
normally. However, as it reaches normal temperature,
it regains its normal brightness.
® To remove fingerprints, wipe the LCD Monitor with the
supplied Cleaning Tissue or a similar soft cloth.
eDo not expose the LCD Monitor to direct sunlight.
When sunlight falls onto the LCD Monitor, it may be
difficult to view the picture.
eDo not apply any pressure to the surface of the LCD
Monitor or subject it to strong shocks.
e Before transporting the Movie Camera, securely close
the LCD Monitor.
Viewfinder
e Do not leave the Viewfinder or the Lens aimed at
the sun. This could seriously damage internal
parts.
Cleaning the Viewfinder
1 Push the Buttons on both sides of the
Viewfinder and remove it in the direction of
the arrow.
2 Remove dust with a blower brush (not
supplied).
If you use a cotton swab or similar to clean
the inside of the Viewfinder, use it very
carefully to prevent scratching the screen
inside the Viewfinder.
3 To re-attach the Viewfinder, push it forward
onto the Viewfinder Tube until it locks with a
click.
Lens Hood
eWhen you want to attach the Tele Conversion
Lens (VW-LT4314WE, optional), the Wide
Conversion Lens (VW-LW4307WE, optional) or
a filter of the Filter Kit (VW-LF43WE, optional), be
sure to first remove the Lens Hood by turning it
counterclockwise. If you attach a filter of the Filter
Kit, you can attach the Lens Hood onto it.
® 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,
Attaching the Shoulder Strap
Before you go recording outside, we recommend
that you attach the Shoulder Strap to prevent the
Movie Camera from dropping accidentally.
1 pul the end of the Shoulder Strap through
the Shoulder Strap Holder on the Movie
Camera.
2 Fold the end of the Shoulder Strap back and
pull it through the Shoulder Strap Length
Adjuster so that it stands out more than
2 cm Q to prevent it from slipping off.
E Focus
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.
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.
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:
e|t adjusts until the vertical contours of the subject
are as sharp and clean as possible.
®t adjusts the focus on the subjects with strong
contrast.
eilt 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.
For the following subjects and recording
situations, the Auto Focus system cannot
provide precise adjustment. Use the Manual
Focus Mode instead. (p. 26)
O 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.
© Recording subjects behind glass covered
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.
O Recording subjects in dark surroundings
As the amount of fight information entering
through the lens is greatly reduced, the Movie
Camera cannot adjust the focus precisely.
© 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.
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.
© 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.

E White Balance Adjustment
While most recording with a Movie Camera is
probably done outdoors under sunlight, video
recording is also done very often under artificial
90
light sources, both indoors and outdoors.
However, each of these light sources gives the
subject slightly different colours.
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. 4),
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.
E Colour Temperature
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, but not directly to
its brightness. |
The range @ 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. 62). Also, additional
lighting may be necessary.
