Prepare spare batteries when going out 
for recording.
≥Prepare batteries enough to last for 3 to 4 
times the period you are planning to 
record for. Cold places such as a ski resort 
can shorten recording time.
If you drop the battery accidentally, 
check to see if the terminals are 
damaged.
≥ Inserting a battery with damaged terminals 
can damage the unit.
Do not throw an old battery into fire.
≥ Heating a battery or throwing it into a fire 
may result in an explosion.
If the operating time is very short even 
after the battery has been recharged, the 
battery has worn out. Please purchase a 
new battery.
≥ If the temperature of the battery is 
extremely high or extremely low, charging 
may take time or the battery may not be 
charged.
≥ If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, 
radio reception may be disturbed. Keep 
the AC adaptor 1 m (3.3 feet) or more 
away from the radio.
≥ When using the AC adaptor, it may 
generate whirring sounds. However, this is 
normal.
≥ After use, be sure to disconnect the AC 
adaptor. (If it is left connected, a minute 
amount of current is consumed.)
≥ Always keep the electrodes of the AC 
adaptor and battery clean. When the status indicator is flashing at a 
particularly fast or slow rate, the 
following should be considered.
Flashing with approx. 4 second period 
(off for approx. 2 seconds, on for approx. 
2 seconds):
≥
When the battery is over discharged or the 
temperature of the battery is too high or 
low. It can be charged, but it may take a 
few hours to complete the charging 
normally.
≥ It will flash in approx. 2 second intervals 
when normal charging resumes. Even in 
such cases, it may start flashing in approx. 
4 second intervals until charging is 
completed depending on the conditions of 
use.
Flashing with approx. 0.5 second period 
(off for approx. 0.25 second, on for 
approx. 0.25 second):
≥ The battery is not charged. Remove the 
battery from the unit, and try charging 
again.
≥ Check that the terminals of the unit or 
battery are not dirty or covered with a 
foreign object, and connect the battery 
correctly once again. If a foreign object or 
dirt is present, turn off the unit before 
removing.
≥ The battery or environment is at an 
extremely high or low temperature. Wait 
until the temperature has returned to an 
appropriate level and try charging again. If 
you are still unable to charge, there may 
be a fault in the unit, battery or AC 
adaptor.
Off:
≥ Charging has finished.
≥ If the status indicator stays off despite the 
charging being unfinished, there may be a 
fault in the unit, battery or AC adaptor. 
Refer to page 150 for details on the 
battery.

About 3D recording
Attach the 3D Conversion Lens securely. 
It must not be used with an insecure 
attachment.
Do not use the 3D Conversion Lens 
without adjusting it first.
≥It will not be possible to record 3D image 
correctly, and this may lead to tiredness or 
discomfort.
≥ When you re-attach the 3D Conversion 
Lens after removing it, we recommend 
making the adjustments again.
With the 3D Conversion Lens attached, 
do not record a subject at less than the 
minimum focus distance.
≥ The 3D effects may be more pronounced, 
and therefore cause tiredness or 
discomfort.
≥ The minimum focus distance is approx. 
1.2 m (3.9 feet).
When recording with the 3D Conversion 
Lens attached, be careful not to shake 
the unit.
≥ Tiredness or discomfort may result if the 
shake is pronounced, due to riding in a 
vehicle or walking etc.
≥ When moving the unit as you record, 
move it slowly.
≥ We recommend using a tripod.
About 3D viewing
Anyone who is hyper sensitive to light, 
suffers from heart disease or is otherwise 
unwell should avoid viewing 3D image.
≥Doing may have an adverse affect on 
such medical conditions.
If you feel tired, uncomfortable or 
otherwise strange when viewing 3D 
image, stop viewing at once. 
≥ Continuing to view may cause illness.
≥ Please rest appropriately after stopping 
the viewing. When viewing 3D image, we recommend 
taking a break every 30 to 60 minutes.
≥
Viewing for extended periods may cause 
eye-fatigue.
Short-sighted or far-sighted persons, 
those with differences in the sight of their 
right and left eyes, and those with 
astigmatism are advised to correct their 
vision by wearing glasses etc.
Stop viewing if you can clearly see a 
double image while viewing a 3D image.
≥ There are differences in the way that 
different people experience 3D images. 
Please correct your sight appropriately 
before viewing 3D image.
≥ You can change the 3D setting of your 
television or 3D output setting of the unit 
to 2D.

LCD monitor
Extremely high precision technology is 
employed to produce the LCD Monitor 
screen featuring a total of approximately 
460,000 dots. The result is more than 
99.99% effective dots with a mere 0.01% 
of the dots inactive or always lit. 
However, this is not a malfunction and 
does not affect the recorded picture.

lens will cloud up and the unit may not work 
properly. Make every effort to ensure that 
condensation does not form. If it does form, 
take the actions described below.
Causes of condensationCondensation takes place when the 
ambient temperature or humidity is 
changed as follows.
≥
When this unit is brought inside from the 
cold (e.g. a ski slope) to a warm room.
≥ When this unit is moved from an 
air-conditioned car to outside.
≥ When a cold room has been warmed up 
quickly.
≥ When cool wind from an air conditioner is 
directly blown onto this unit.
≥ After rain showers.
≥ When this unit is in a very humid place 
where the air is thick with steam. (e.g. a 
heated swimming pool)
Helpful hint
If, for example, you have used this unit for 
recording on a ski slope and are taking it into 
a heated room, place the unit inside a plastic 
bag, remove as much of the air from inside 
the bag as possible, then seal the bag. 
Leave the unit for about an hour in the room 
so the temperature of the unit is close to the 
ambient temperature of the room, then use 
it.

≥SD cards are only mentioned with their main memory size. The stated number is the 
approximate number of recordable pictures.
When recording 3D still pictures
≥The number of recordable pictures depends on the subject being recorded.
≥ When recording a 3D still picture, the equivalent 2D still picture is recorded as well; 
therefore, the number of recordable pictures will be reduced accordingly.
≥ Maximum number of recordable pictures that can be displayed is 9999. If the number of 
recordable pictures exceeds 9999, R 9999+ is displayed. The number will not change 
when the picture is taken until the number of recordable pictures is 9999
 or less.≥The memory capacity indicated on the label of an SD card is the total of the capacity for 
copyright protection and management and the capacity that can be used on the unit, a PC 
etc.
