ª Video Head Clogging and Care
If the heads (the parts that make contact with the
tape) are dirty, mosaic-pattern noise may appear
on the playback image, or the screen as a whole
becomes black. If the heads are extremely dirty,
recording performance deteriorates, and, in the
worst case, the Movie Camera cannot record at
all.

Periodical Check-up
To maintain the highest image quality, we
recommend replacement of worn parts, such as
heads, etc., after approximately 1,000 hours of
use. (This, however, depends on operating
conditions, such as temperature, humidity, dust,
etc.)

ª Optimal Use of the Battery
Battery Characteristics
This Battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery.
Its ability to generate power is based upon the
chemical reaction that takes place inside it. This
reaction is susceptible to the surrounding
temperature and humidity, and, if the temperature
is too high or too low, the operating time of the
Battery becomes shorter. If the Battery is used in
an extremely cold environment, the Battery may
operate only for about 5 minutes. If the Battery
becomes extremely hot, a protective function may
operate, and the Battery may become unusable
for a while.
