Precautions for Proper Use

(continued)

7

Others

�Do not insert objects other than the memory card into the

card slot.

�Do not block the vent on the unit.

Blocking of the vent causes internal heating and may lead to

burns and fires.

�Do not turn off the [POWER] switch or remove the power

cable during recording or playback.

�The camera recorder may not show stable pictures for a

few seconds immediately after the power is turned on, but

this is not a malfunction.

�When the video signal output terminals are not in use, put

on the covers to prevent damage to the terminals.

�Do not drop this unit or subject it to strong impact or

vibration as it is a precision e uipment.q

�Optical performance of lens

Due to the optical performance of the lens, color divergence

phenomena (magnification chromatic aberration) may occur

at the periphery of the image. This is not a camera

malfunction.

LCD Monitor and Viewfinder

�The LCD monitor and viewfinder screens are

manufactured using high-precision technology. Black spots

may appear on the LCD monitor and viewfinder screens, or

red, blue, and/or white spots may not disappear. However,

this is not a malfunction and these spots are not recorded on

the SDHC card.

�If you use this unit continuously for a long period of time,

the characters displayed in the viewfinder may temporarily

remain on the screen. This is not recorded on the SDHC

card. They will not appear after you turn the power off and

then on again.

�If you use this unit in a cold place, the images may appear

to lag on the screen, but this is not a malfunction. Retained

images are not recorded on the SDHC card.

�Do not press against the surface with force or subject it to

strong impact. Doing so may damage or break the screens.

�Noise may appear in the viewfinder when switching

between the live video and playback images.

�Due to the characteristic of the viewfinder display device,

colors may appear on the images when you blink your eyes.

This is not a malfunction. It does not affect the recorded

images, SDI output, or component output.

Characteristic CCD Phenomena

�Smear and blooming

Due to the physical structure of CCDs, vertical streaking

(called “smear”) may occur when shooting an extremely

bright light source or expansion of light (called “blooming”)

may appear around it. Although the CCD employed in this

unit produces very little smear or blooming, these

phenomena may still occur when shooting a bright light

source.

�Moire or aliasing

Stripes, lines or other fine patterns may appear jagged when

they are shot.

�White dots

High temperatures can cause CCD sensor pixels to produce

white dots in the image. This is especially prominent when

boosting the sensitivity.

This is a characteristic of the charged-coupled device (CCD).

As far as possible, use this unit under conditions where the

temperature of this unit does not increase.

Precautions for Batteries

●Store the battery in a cool and dry place when not in use.

Do not expose the battery to high temperatures (such as

in a car under direct sunlight). This will cause battery

leakage and shorten the battery life.

●Operating time is shortened if the battery terminal is dirty.

●If the operating time shortens drastically even after

charging, the battery may be reaching the end of its life.

Replace the battery with a new one.

Charging

●Use up the charge completely before you charge the

battery. If the battery is not fully discharged before

charging, the battery capacity may drop after repeated

cycles.

●If the battery capacity drops due to repetitive shallow

charging and discharging, it may be recovered by using

up the charge completely and then fully charging the

battery again.

●If you charge the battery immediately after using while the

battery is still warm, it may not be fully charged.

●

It is recommended that you charge the battery in an

environment between 10

f

and 5 3

f

. The battery may

not be fully charged or the charging time may be prolonged

if charged under low temperatures (below 10

f

).

marks light up in red.

● During recording in the Dual Rec mode to two cards with a

different amount of remaining space, if the space of one

card runs out, recording to both slots will stop

automatically. After recording stops, recording

automatically resumes for the card with remaining space.

Although the clips are separated in this case, the clips can

be seamlessly joined by arranging them on the timeline of

the editing software since they are recorded seamlessly.

● If the last clip on the cards that are loaded to the two slots

are different from each other, and the time code operating

mode is set to REGEN , the Regen mode for the A B

selected card slot will be enabled in the next recording.

Note :

● To perform recording in the Dual Rec mode, it is

recommended that you start recording by making use of

two cards with the same capacity and from the formatted

state.

● You can combine the use of the Dual Rec mode with a

special recording mode. While in the Dual Rec mode, you

can also set [Rec Mode] to Normal , Pre Rec , A B A B AClip

Continuous , or B AVariable Frame .B

( Page 58 [Special Recording])A

( Page 76 [Rec Mode])A

● When both the slots are loaded with recordable cards, the

Dual Rec (simultaneous recording) operation can be

performed. If a recordable media is only loaded to one of

the slots, you can also start recording with one card.

● In the Dual Rec mode, continuous recording by switching

from one slot to another cannot be performed. Continuous

recording will not be performed if a recordable media is

loaded to a slot after recording to the other slot has

started.

● When recording to one slot is in progress with the

recorder set to the Dual Rec mode, loading a recordable

media to the other slot does not enable the Dual Rec

operation. To perform the Dual Rec operation, stop

recording temporarily (excluding pausing recording in the

Clip Continuous Rec mode), and start again.

● When one of the cards is accidentally removed while the

Dual Rec operation is in progress, recording to the card in

the other slot will continue. However, repair of the

accidentally removed card by the recovery function may

fail.

● If an error occurs on one of the cards in the two slots

during recording, recording of the erroneous card stops,

while that of the other card continues.

● Operations on clips recorded in the Dual Rec mode, such

as clip deletion in the Media mode or appending of OK

marks, can only be performed on the card in the selected

slot.

Besides the normal recording mode, three special recording

methods are available in this camera recorder. They are Pre

Rec, Clip Continuous Rec, and Variable Frame Rec.

Select the mode from [Rec Mode] in the [Record Set] menu.

Pre Rec

By setting the number of seconds in the [Pre Rec Time], you

starts based on the Pre Rec Time setting.

When starting actual recording while the camera recorder is

in Recording Standby (STBYP) mode, you can start

recording a few seconds earlier based on the [Pre Rec Time]

setting.

Using Pre Rec allows you to record a complete event without

missing the initial scenes even if you start the recording late.
