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.
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.
ª Cautions for Storage
Before storing the Movie Camera, take the Cassette out 
and detach the Battery.
Store all the components in a dry place with a relatively 
stable temperature.
(Recommended Temperature: 15 to 25
oC, Recommended 
Humidity: 40 to 60%)
Movie Camera
≥Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from getting into the 
Camera.
≥Do not leave the Movie Camera in places that expose it to 
high temperature.
Battery
≥Extremely high temperatures or low temperatures will 
shorten the life of the Battery.
≥If the Battery is kept in smoky or dusty places, the terminal 
may rust and cause malfunctions.
Do not allow the Battery terminals to come in contact 
with metal objects (such as necklaces, hairpins, etc.). 
This can result in a short circuit or heat generation 
and, if you touch the Battery in this condition, you may 
be badly burned.
≥Store the Battery in a completely discharged state. To store 
the Battery for a long period of time, we recommend you 
charge it once every year and store it again after you 
completely use up the charged capacity.
Cassette
≥Before storing it, rewind the tape to the beginning. If the 
Cassette is left for more than 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.
Card (NV-MX8 only)
≥When the Card is being read, do not remove the Card, turn 
off the power, or subject it to vibration or impact.
≥Do not leave the Card in places where there is high 
temperature or direct sunlight, or where electromagnetic 
waves or static electricity are easily generated.
≥Do not bend or drop the Card. The Card or the recorded 
content may be damaged.
≥After use, be sure to remove the Card from the Movie 
Camera.
≥After use, store the supplied SD Memory Card in the 
enclosed yellow bag.
≥Do not touch the terminals on the back of the Card with 
your fingers. Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter it.
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.
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce 
the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 
110,000 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.
...............................................................................................
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 (CGP-D28S/CGP-D320; optional) attached to it, it 
is not practical to look in the Viewfinder from behind the 
Battery. In this case, lift up the Viewfinder to an 
easy-to-see angle.
...............................................................................................
Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce 
the Viewfinder screen featuring a total of approximately 
113,000 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.
...............................................................................................
Lens Hood
≥Do not attach other conversion lenses in front of the Lens 
Hood; there is no mount to be used for the attachment.
