ª About AC Adaptor

≥If the temperature of the Battery is extremely 

high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] Lamp 
may continue flashing, and the Battery may not 
be charged. After the temperature of the Battery 
has decreased or increased sufficiently, 
charging starts automatically. If the [CHARGE] 
Lamp continues to flash even after the Battery 
temperature has decreased or increased 
sufficiently, the Battery or AC Adaptor may be 
faulty. In this case, please contact a dealer.

≥If the Battery is warm, charging takes a longer 

time than normal.

≥If you use the AC Adaptor near a radio, radio 

reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC 
Adaptor 1 metre or more away from radio.

≥When the AC Adaptor is in use, it may generate 

whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

≥After use, be sure to pull out the AC Mains Lead 

from the AC mains socket. (If they are left 
connected, a minute amount of current is 
consumed.)

≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor and 

Battery always clean.

ª Condensation

If the Condensation Indication flashes after the 
Movie Camera is turned on, condensation has 
formed inside the Movie Camera. In this case, the 
Movie Camera power is turned off automatically 
after about 1 minute.
Follow the steps below:

Take out the Cassette.
≥None of the other functions operate. 

Depending on the amount of condensation, 
removing the Cassette may even become 
difficult. If this happens, wait for 2 to 3 hours 
before taking the Cassette out.

Open the Cassette Compartment Cover and 
wait  for  2 to  3 hours.
≥The number of hours to wait depends on the 

amount of condensation and ambient 
temperature.

2 to 3 hours later, turn on the Movie Camera 
power and check to see if the Condensation 
Indication is displayed.
≥Even if the Condensation Indication is not 

displayed, as a precaution, please wait for 
another hour before using the Movie Camera.

Watch for Condensation even before the 
Condensation Indication is displayed.
≥Because condensation takes place gradually, 

the Condensation Indication may not be 
displayed during the first 10 to 15 minutes of 
condensation formation inside the Movie 
Camera.

≥In extremely cold places, condensation may 

freeze and form frost. In this case, the frost 
melts first, thus forming condensation, and then 
it takes another 2 to 3 hours to eliminate the 
condensation.

When the Lens is Fogged:
Set the [OFF/ON/MODE] Switch to [OFF] and 
leave the Movie Camera in this condition for 
about 1 hour. When the lens temperature 
becomes close to the ambient temperature, the 
fog disappears naturally.

ª Video Head Clogging and Care

If the heads (the parts that make contact with 
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.
Causes of Dirty Heads
≥Large quantity of dust in the air
≥High-temperature and high-humidity 

environment

≥Damaged tape
≥Long operating hours
Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head

Notes:
≥Do not rewind every time you use the Head 

Cleaner. Rewind only when the tape reaches 
the end, and then use it again from the 
beginning in the same manner as before.

≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning, 

the tape may be damaged. In this case, 
immediately stop using that Cassette.

≥Do not clean the heads excessively. (Excessive 

cleaning may cause excessive wear of the 
heads. If the heads are worn, images cannot be 
played back even after the heads are cleaned.)

≥If the dirty heads cannot be cleaned with the 

Head Cleaner, the Movie Camera needs to be 
cleaned at a service centre. Please consult a 
dealer.

≥Video Head Cleaners can be purchased from 

service centres.
