Care of Unit/Options

Microphone Socket

³If you want to perform audio dubbing via an

external microphone or audio equipment,

connect it to the [MIC] Socket. In this case, the

Movie Camera’s built-in microphone is turned off.

º Repeat Playback

³If you keep the Playback Button [1] pressed for

more than 5 seconds, the Movie Camera

switches over to the Repeat Playback Mode and

the [R !] Indication appears. (To cancel the

Repeat Playback Mode, set the [OFF/ON] Switch

to [OFF].)

º Attaching the Shoulder Strap

Before you go recording outside, we recommend

that you attach the Shoulder Strap to prevent the

Movie Camera from dropping accidentally.

1 Pull the end of the Shoulder Strap through

the Shoulder Strap Holder on the Movie

Camera.

2 Fold the end of the Shoulder Strap back,

pull it first through the loop and then the

Shoulder Strap Length Adjuster.

Pull it out more than 2 cm

 from the

Shoulder Strap Length Adjuster so that it

cannot slip off.

º LCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens Hood

LCD Monitor (NV-DS15, NV-DS150, NV-DS25

only)

³In places where big changes in temperature

occur, condensation may form on the LCD

Monitor. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

³If the Movie Camera is very cold when it is turned

on, the picture on the LCD Monitor is initially a

little darker than normally. However, as the

internal temperature rises, the LCD Monitor

regains its normal brightness.

³Extremely high precision technology is employed

to produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a

total of approximately 112,000 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

³Extremely 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% active 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.

³Do not leave the Viewfinder or the Lens aimed at

the sun. This could seriously damage internal

parts.

³If you use a large-capacity Battery (CGP-D320;

optional) attached to the Movie Camera, viewing

the picture in the Viewfinder from behind may not

be practical. In this case, turn up the Viewfinder

to an angle that allows comfortable viewing.

Lens Hood

³Never try to attach any conversion lens onto the

front of the Lens Hood; it does not have a

threaded mount on the front.

³When you want to attach the Tele Conversion

Lens (VW-LT4314WE, optional), the Wide

Conversion Lens (VW-LW4307WE, optional) or a

filter of the Filter Kit (VW-LF43WE, optional), be

sure to first remove the Lens Hood by turning it

counterclockwise. If you attach a filter of the

Filter Kit, you can attach the Lens Hood onto it.

³During recording with a filter or conversions lens

attached, the four corners of the picture may

become dark (vignetting effect), when you push

the [W/T] Zoom Lever toward [W]. For details,

please also read the operating instructions of the

accessory being used.

Cautions for Use

(Continued)

º Optimum Use of the Battery

Special Characteristics of the Battery

This Battery is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

Its ability to generate electric energy is based on

an internal chemical reaction. This reaction is

easily influenced by ambient temperature and

humidity, and the useful operation time that the

Battery can provide becomes shorter at high and

low temperatures. When used in extremely cold

surroundings, the Battery may only be able to

provide approximately 5 minutes of operation time.

If the Battery becomes extremely hot, a protection

function is activated and prevents the use of the

Battery for some time.

After Use, Always Remove the Battery.

Be sure to remove the Battery from the Movie

Camera. (If it is attached to the Movie Camera, a

small amount of electric current is consumed even

if the Movie Camera is turned off.) Leaving the

Battery attached to the Movie Camera for a very

long time could cause it to become excessively

discharged, so that it cannot be used any more

even after charging.

Keep the Battery’ s Terminals Clean.

Be careful that the terminals do not get plugged up

with dust, dirt or other substances.

If you accidentally drop the Battery, confirm that

the Battery itself and the terminals are not

deformed. Attaching a deformed Battery to the

Movie Camera or to the AC Adaptor could damage

the Movie Camera or the AC Adaptor.

Discarding a Battery That Has Become

Unusable

³The usable life of the Battery is limited.

³Do not throw the Battery in a fire because it could

explode.

º Precautions for Storage

Before Storing the Movie Camera, Take out the

Cassette and Remove the Battery.

Store all equipment in a dry place where the

temperature remains relatively constant.

(Recommended temperature is 15°C–25°C and

recommended relative humidity is 40%–60%.)

Movie Camera

³Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust form

entering.

³Never leave the Movie Camera in places with

high temperature.

Battery

³Extremely low or high temperature shortens the

Battery life.

³Storing it in places with oily smoke and a lot of

dust could cause the terminals to get rusty, and

this can result in a malfunction.

³Do not allow metal objects (such as

necklaces and hair pins) to touch the battery

terminals. Short-circuiting may occur and

generate heat, and touching it in this

condition could inflict serious burns.

³Store the Battery in discharged condition. If you

store the Battery for a long time, we recommend

that you charge it once a year and completely

use up the charge before storing it again in

discharged condition.

Cassette

³Rewind the tape to its beginning before storing.

Leaving the cassette with the tape stopped

halfway for more than 6 months (depending on

the storing condition) loosens the tape. Be sure

to rewind it to the beginning.

³Put the cassette in its case to store it.

Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) and

humidity could damage the tape. Dust contains

hard mineral particles and cassettes with dust

damage the video heads and other parts of the

Movie Camera. Make it a habit to always put the

cassette back into its case.

³Completely wind the tape forward and then

rewind it once every half year. Leaving the

cassette for more than a year without winding/

rewinding it may deform the cassette because of

stretching and shrinking of the tape due to

changes in temperature and humidity.

Also, the tape may stick together.

³Do not place the cassette near strongly

magnetized objects or equipment.

³The tape surface is coated with microscopic

magnetic particles and they record signals. Such

objects as magnetic necklaces and toys have

stronger magnetic force than commonly thought,

and this could erase the recorded contents and

cause noise in picture and sound.

MultiMediaCard (NV-DS25 only)

³While the MultiMediaCard is being read, do not

remove it, turn off the power, or subject it to

vibrations and shocks.

³Do not leave the MultiMediaCard in a place with

high temperature, exposed to direct sunlight, or

where electromagnetic waves and static

electricity can be generated.

³Do not bend or drop the MultiMediaCard as this

could damage the MultiMediaCard or the stored

contents.

³After use, be sure to remove the

MultiMediaCard from the Movie Camera.

³After using the MultiMediaCard or when storing

or carrying it, put it in the supplied

MultiMediaCard Case.

³Do not touch the connector on the rear edge of

the MultiMediaCard with your fingers and take

care that no dirt, dust or water enters it.
