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.
Extremely high precision technology is

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.

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.
