6 months with the tape stopped midway, the 
tape sags (although it depends on the storage 
condition). Be sure to rewind to the beginning.

≥Store the Cassette in its case. Dust, direct 

sunlight (ultraviolet rays), or humidity may 
damage the tape. Dust contains hard mineral 
particles, and dusty Cassettes damage the 
heads of the Movie Camera and other 
components. Develop a habit of returning the 
Cassette back to its case.

≥Once every half year, wind the tape to the end 

and then rewind it to the beginning. If the 
Cassette is left for 1 year or longer without 
winding or rewinding, temperature and humidity 
changes may cause the Cassette to deform due 
to swelling, shrinking, and so forth. The wound 
tape may stick to itself.

≥Do not place a Cassette near highly magnetic 

substances or equipment.

≥The surface of tape is covered with extremely 

minute magnetic particles, upon which signals 
are recorded. Magnetic necklaces, toys, etc., 
have magnetic force that is stronger than you 
may normally expect, and they may erase the 
contents of a recording or may cause noise in 
images and sounds.

ª LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood

LCD Monitor
≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, 

condensation may form on the LCD Monitor. 
Wipe it with soft dry cloth.

≥If your Movie Camera is extremely cold when 

you turn its power on, the image on the LCD 
Monitor is slightly darker than usual at first. 
However, as the internal temperature increases, 
it goes back to the normal brightness.

Viewfinder
≥Do not direct the Viewfinder or Lens to the sun. 

Internal components may be seriously 
damaged.

≥When the Movie Camera is used with a large 

capacity Battery (CGA-DU14, CGA-DU21;

screen featuring a total of approximately 
123,000 pixels. 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.

optional) attached to it, it is not practical to look 
in the Viewfinder from behind the Battery.

Lens Hood
≥Do not attach other conversion lenses in front of 

the Lens Hood; there is no mount to be used for 
the attachment.

≥When you wish to attach the Tele Conversion 

Lens (VW-LT2714N2E; optional), Wide 
Conversion Lens (VW-LW2707N2E; optional), 
MC Protector (VW-LMC27E; optional), or ND 
Filter (VW-LND27E; optional), first of all, turn 
the Lens Hood counterclockwise. If the MC 
Protector or ND Filter is used, the Lens Hood 
can be mounted on the filter.

≥If you push the [W/T] Lever toward [W] during 

recording with the filter and conversion lens 
attached together to the Movie Camera, 
4 corners of the image may become dark 
(vignetting). For details, please refer to the 
operating instructions of your accessories.

≥Be sure to keep the Lens Hood attached to the 

Movie Camera so as to shut out unnecessary 
light.

• Is the power source connected correctly? (

)

• When the Recording Pause Mode continues 

for more than 6 minutes, the power is turned off 
automatically for tape protection and power 
conservation. (If the AC Adaptor is used, the 
power is turned off only when the tape is 
inserted in Tape Recording Mode.) When the 
tape is inserted in Tape Recording Mode and if 
the Recording Pause Mode continues for more 
than 6 minutes, the power is turned off 
automatically. 
To resume recording from this condition, turn 
off, then turn on the power again.
