ª Replacing the Batteries

The life of the batteries is about 1 year.

When the batteries are exhausted, purchase two

new “AAA”, “UM-4” or “R03” type batteries and

insert them in the same way as explained above.

≥Do not mix old batteries with new batteries.

≥Do not mix different battery types, i.e. Alkaline

and Manganese.

≥Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries.

≥Do not short-circuit the batteries.

≥When you do not use the Remote Controller

for a long time, take out the batteries and store

them in a cool, dry place.

ª Conditions for Correct Operation of

the Remote Controller

≥The distance to the Movie Camera must not

be more than 5 metres.

≥The Transmitter Window on the Remote

Controller or the Remote Control Sensor

(5)

on the Movie Camera must not be exposed to

direct sunlight and not be covered with

clothes, etc.

≥When operating the Zoom Function with the

Remote Controller, it is not possible to vary the

zooming speed. Also, there is a slight delay

between pressing the Zoom Buttons

(40) on

the Remote Controller and the mechanical

zoom adjustment on the Movie Camera.

≥Within a distance of about 1 metre, it is also

possible to use the Remote Controller from the

side ([MENU] Button side).

Power Supply

Input Lead.

2 Connect the AC Adaptor to the [DC IN]

Socket

(33) on the Movie Camera.

3 Connect the AC Mains Lead to the AC

Adaptor and the AC mains socket.

≥The AC Mains Lead’s outlet plug does not fit

entirely into the AC Adaptor socket. A gap

will remain as shown 1.

10˚

15˚

(5)

(33)

≥After use, be sure to attach the cap 2 to the

Inserting a Cassette

If the AC Adaptor or Battery is used to supply

power, it is possible to insert or eject the

cassette without turning on the Movie Camera.

1 Connect the AC Adaptor or attach a

charged Battery.

2 Turn the cog wheel 1 to tighten the tape.

3 Slide the [3OPEN] Lever (21) to the left

and simultaneously open the LCD Monitor

(22) in the direction of the arrow

approximately 90o.

≥Be sure to keep the LCD Monitor in its

vertical position, so that the Cassette

Compartment Cover, when it opens, does

not hit the LCD Monitor.

4 Press the [<EJECT] Button (29).

5 Insert the cassette with the cassette

window facing outward and push it all the

way in.

6 Close the Cassette Compartment by

pressing the [LOCK] Button

(23).

ª Accidental Erasure Prevention

≥Recording on a previously recorded cassette

erases the existing scenes and sound.

≥To protect important recordings against

accidental erasure, use a screwdriver to break

≥To be able to record again on a protected

cassette, firmly cover the hole where the tab

was with 2 layers of adhesive tape.

≥For other notes concerning this item, see

-55-.

ª Selecting the Correct Tape Length

To ensure that the Remaining Tape Time

Indication displayed during recording and

playback is correct, you need to set the tape

length that matches that of the inserted

cassette.

1 Set [DISPLAY SETUP] >> [TAPE2] >> the

correct tape length.

≥The Tape Length Indications change in the

following order:

ª Confirming the Remaining Tape Time

During recording and playback, the Remaining

Tape Time Indication 3 is automatically

displayed, so you always know how much time

you have left on the cassette. However, to

ensure correct display of the remaining tape

time, the tape length of the cassette being used

must be set correctly on the Movie Camera.

≥When recording or playback starts, the Tape

Length Indication disappears, and in its place

the [R] Indication 3 flashes while the

remaining tape time is being calculated. A few

seconds later, the Remaining Tape Time

Indication appears. ([R] means Remaining.)

≥When the remaining tape time is less than

2 minutes, the [R] Indication and the

Remaining Tape Time Indication start to flash.

≥When you use a cassette bearing the [P] mark

4 or other special types of cassettes, the

Remaining Tape Time Indication may not be

very precise.
