    ªVideo Head Clogging and CareIf the heads (the parts that make contact with the 
    tape) are dirty, mosaic-pattern noise may appear 
    on the playback image, or the screen as a whole 
    becomes black. If the heads are extremely dirty, 
    recording performance deteriorates, and, in the 
    worst case, the Palmcorder cannot record at all.
    Causes of Dirty Heads
    ≥Large quantity of dust in the air
    ≥High-temperature and high-humidity 
    environment
    ≥Damaged tape
    ≥Long operating hours
    Using Mini-DV Format Digital Video Head 
    Cleaner
    1Insert the Head Cleaner into the Palmcorder 
    in the same manner as a Video Cassette.
    2Press the [1] Button, and approximately 
    20 seconds later, press the [∫] Button. (Do 
    not rewind the tape.)
    3Take out the Head Cleaner. Insert a Video 
    Cassette and start recording. Then, play the 
    tape back to check the recorded image.
    4If the image is not still clear, repeat 
    Steps 1 to 3. (Do not use the Head Cleaner 
    for 3 times or more consecutively.)
    Notes:
    ≥Do not rewind every time you use the Head 
    Cleaner. Rewind only when the tape reaches 
    the end, and then use it again from the 
    beginning in the same manner as before.
    ≥If the heads become dirty soon after cleaning, 
    the tape may be damaged. In this case, 
    immediately stop using that Cassette.
    ≥Do not clean the heads excessively. (Excessive 
    cleaning may cause excessive wear of the 
    heads. If the heads are worn, images cannot be 
    played back even after the heads are cleaned.)
    ≥If the dirty heads cannot be cleaned with the 
    Head Cleaner, the Palmcorder needs to be 
    cleaned at a service center. Please consult a 
    dealer.
    ≥Video Head Cleaners can be purchased from 
    service centres.
    ≥Head cleaning due to dirty heads is not 
    considered a malfunction of the product. It is not 
    covered by the warranty.
    Periodical Check-up
    To maintain the highest image quality, we 
    recommend replacement of worn parts, such as 
    heads, etc., after approximately 1000 hours of 
    use. (This, however, depends on operating 
    conditions, such as temperature, humidity, dust, 
    etc.)
    ªOptimal Use of the BatteryBattery 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 
    Palmcorder. (If it is left attached to the 
    Palmcorder, a minute amount of current is 
    consumed even when the Palmcorder power is 
    off.) If the Battery is left attached to the 
    Palmcorder 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 Palmcorder 
    or AC Adaptor may damage the Palmcorder or 
    AC Adaptor.
    ªCautions for StorageBefore storing the Palmcorder, take the 
    Cassette out and detach the Battery.
    Store all the components in a dry place with a 
    relatively stable temperature.
    Recommended Temperature: 59oF to 77oF (15oC 
    to 25oC), Recommended Humidity: 40% to 60%
    Palmcorder
    ≥Wrap it with a soft cloth to prevent dust from 
    getting into the Camera.
    ≥Do not leave the Palmcorder 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 terminals 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 Palmcorder 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
    ≥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 
    Palmcorder.
    ≥After usage, store the supplied SD Memory 
    Card in the enclosed 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.≥Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children 
    to prevent swallowing.
    ªLCD Monitor/Viewfinder/Lens HoodLCD Monitor
    ≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, 
    condensation may form on the LCD Monitor. 
    Wipe it with soft dry cloth.
    ≥If your Palmcorder 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 Palmcorder is used with a large 
    capacity Battery 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 (not supplied), Wide Conversion Lens (not 
    supplied), MC Protector (not supplied), or ND 
    Filter (not supplied), first of all, turn the Lens 
    Hood counter-clockwise. 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 Palmcorder, 4 corners 
    of the image may become dark (vignetting). For 
    details, please refer to the operating instructions 
    of your accessories.Extremely high precision technology is 
    employed to produce the LCD Monitor 
    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.

    Explanation of Terms
    ªDigital Video SystemIn a digital video system, images and sounds are 
    converted into digital signals and recorded on a 
    tape. This complete digital recording is capable of 
    recording and playback with minimal image and 
    sound deterioration.
    In addition, it automatically records data, such as 
    Time Code and Date/Time, as digital signals.
    Compatibility with S-VHS or VHS Cassettes
    Because this Palmcorder employs a digital 
    system for recording image and sound data, it is 
    not compatible with conventional S-VHS or VHS 
    video equipment that employs an analog 
    recording system.
    The size and shape of the Cassettes are also 
    different.
    Compatibility with Output Signals
    Because AV signal output from the AV signal 
    output socket is analog (the same as 
    conventional video systems), this Palmcorder can 
    be connected with S-VHS or VHS video or a TV 
    for playback.
    ªFocus
    Auto Focus Adjustment
    The Auto Focus System automatically moves 
    forward and backward the focusing lens inside 
    the Palmcorder to bring the subject into focus so 
    that the subject can be seen clearly.
    However, the Auto Focus System does not 
    function properly for the following subjects or 
    under the following recording conditions.

    -75-
    Please use the Manual Focus Mode instead.
    1) Recording a subject whose one end is 
    located closer to the Palmcorder and the 
    other end farther away from it
    ≥Because Auto Focus makes adjustments at 
    the center of an image, it may be impossible 
    to focus on a subject that is located in both 
    foreground and background.
    2) Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty 
    glass
    ≥Because the focus is on the dirty glass, the 
    subject behind the glass will not be focused.
    3) Recording a subject in dark surroundings
    ≥Because the light information that comes 
    through the lens decreases considerably, 
    the Palmcorder cannot focus correctly.
    4) Recording a subject that is surrounded by 
    objects with glossy surfaces or by highly 
    reflective objects
    ≥Because the Palmcorder focuses on the 
    objects with glossy surfaces or on highly 
    reflective objects, the subject may become 
    blurry.
    5) Recording a fast-moving subject
    ≥Because the focus lens-inside moves 
    mechanically, it cannot keep up with the 
    fast-moving subject.
    6) Recording a subject with little contrast
    ≥Because the Palmcorder achieves focus 
    based upon the vertical lines of an image, a 
    subject with little contrast, such as a white 
    wall, may become blurry.
    ªTime CodeTime Code signals are data that indicate time 
    measured in hours, minutes, seconds, and 
    frames (30 frames per second). If this data is 
    included in a recording, an address is assigned to 
    each image on the tape.
    ≥The Time Code is automatically recorded as a 
    part of the sub-code at each recording.
    ≥When a new (previously unrecorded) Cassette 
    is inserted, the Time Code automatically starts 
    from zero. If a recorded Cassette is inserted, 
    the Time Code picks up from the point where 
    the last scene was recorded. (In this case, when 
    the Cassette is inserted, the zero display 
    [0h00m00s00f] may appear, but the Time Code 
    starts from the previous value.)
    ≥The Time Code cannot be reset to zero.
    ≥Unless the Time Code is continuously recorded 
    from the beginning of a tape, accurate editing 
    may not be possible. To ensure that the Time 
    Code will be recorded with no breaks, we 
    recommend the use of the Blank Search 
    Function (
    -26-) before recording a new scene.
    ªMemory Stop FunctionThe Memory Stop Function is useful for the 
    following operations.
    Rewinding or fast-forwarding a tape to a 
    desired position
    1Set [DISPLAY] >> [C.DISPLAY] >> 
    [MEMORY].
    2Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the tape 
    position from which you want to play it 
    back later. (
    -14-,-21-)3Start playback or recording.4After playback or recording has finished: 
    Set the Palmcorder to Tape Playback Mode.
    5Rewind the tape.
    ≥The tape automatically stops approximately 
    at the position where the counter was set to 
    zero.
    Stopping editing automatically during audio 
    dubbing
    1Set [DISPLAY] >> [C.DISPLAY] >> 
    [MEMORY].
    2Reset the Tape Counter to zero at the 
    position where you want to stop editing.
    3Play back the still picture where you want to 
    start audio dubbing.
    4Start audio dubbing. (-46-)
    ≥Audio dubbing automatically stops at the 
    position where the counter was set to zero.
