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:

≥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.

≥The number of hours to wait depends on the amount of 

condensation and ambient temperature.

≥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.

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

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.

≥Head cleaning due to dirty heads is not considered a 

malfunction of the product. It is not covered by the 
warranty.

Periodical Check-up
To maintain the highest image quality, we recommend 
replacement of worn parts, such as heads, etc., after 
approximately 1000 hours of use. (This, however, depends 
on operating conditions, such as temperature, humidity, 
dust, etc.)

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.
Be Sure to Detach the Battery after Use
Be sure to detach the Battery from the Movie Camera. (If it is 
left attached to the Movie Camera, a minute amount of 
current is consumed even when the Movie Camera power is 
off.) If the Battery is left attached to the Movie Camera for a 
long time, over discharge takes place. The Battery may 
become unusable after it is charged.
Disposing of an Unusable Battery
≥The Battery has a limited life.
≥Do not throw the Battery into fire because it may cause an 

explosion.

Always Keep the Terminals of the Battery Clean
Prevent the terminals from getting clogged with dirt, dust, or 
other substances.
If you drop the Battery accidentally, check to see if the 
Battery body and terminals are deformed.
Attaching a deformed Battery to the Movie Camera or AC 
Adaptor may damage the Movie Camera or AC Adaptor.
