Preparing the Camcorder

The Camcorder’s Cooling System

The camcorder’s internal temperature is controlled using a cooling fan that 
will turn on whenever the camcorder itself is turned on. However, you can 
turn off the cooling fan temporarily if necessary.

1 Open the [Fan] submenu.

[w Other Functions] > [Fan]

2 Select [Automatic] and then press the joystick.

Options

NOTES

• Depending on the ambient temperature and other shooting conditions, the cooling fan may not turn off even if 

you set [Fan] to [Automatic].

• The cooling fan cannot be turned off in 

 mode.

• When changing the camcorder’s configuration, be careful not to obstruct the cooling fan’s air intake and 

exhaust vents (marked respectively as AIR INTAKE and EXHAUST VENT).

• If you set an assignable button to [Fan] (A 89), you can press the button to toggle between the [On] and 

[Automatic] settings.

Operating modes:

[On]:

The cooling fan is on as long as the camcorder is on.

[Automatic]:

The cooling fan is temporarily turned off. If the camcorder's internal temperature rises too much, 

 

will appear in yellow on the left of the screen. If the temperature starts to become critical, the 

 icon 

will turn red and the cooling fan will come on to prevent overheating. Once the camcorder has 
cooled off sufficiently, the fan will turn off again. While the fan is activated automatically, 

 will 

appear next to the 

 icon.
