Maintenance and Inspections
Make sure you check that the system is operating normally before embarking on a shoot. We recommend using a color video 
monitor to check the image.
1Mount a charged battery pack.
2Turn the POWER switch [ON] and check that 5 or more 
“BATT” indication marks appear.
yIf fewer than 5 “BATT” indication marks appear, 
replace the battery with a fully-charged battery.
3Insert a P2 card into the card slot and close the slide 
cover.
Confirm that the P2 card access LED for the inserted 
card slot lights up in orange. If P2 cards are inserted into 
multiple card slots, only the P2 card access LED for the 
first-inserted P2 card lights up in orange. Then, the other 
P2 card access LEDs light up in green when P2 cards 
are inserted.
If the access LED for the P2 card slot in which a P2 card 
is inserted keeps blinking in green, or if there is no 
display, recording is not possible on that particular P2 
card.
1Set the zoom to electric zoom mode and check the 
zoom operation.
Check that the image changes to telephoto and wide 
angle.
2Set the zoom to manual zoom mode and check the 
zoom operation.
Turn the manual zoom lever to check that the image 
changes to telephoto and wide angle.
3Set the iris to automatic adjustment mode and aim the 
lens at objects with different degrees of brightness, to 
check that the automatic iris adjustment operates 
normally.
4Set the iris to manual adjustment mode and turn the iris 
ring, to check the manual iris adjustment.
5While holding down the instant iris automatic adjustment 
button, aim the lens at objects with different degrees of 
brightness, to check that the instant iris automatic 
adjustment operates properly.

						

							154Maintenance and Inspections: Inspections Before Shooting Make sure you successively carry out the inspections from 
[1. Inspecting the P2 Card Recording] to [4. Inspecting the 
Earphone and Speaker].
1. Inspecting the P2 Card Recording
1Check on the display inside the viewfinder that the 
remaining P2 card recording capacity is sufficient. 
Please refer to [P2 Card Remaining Free Space/
capacity Indication] (page 84) for information about P2 
card remaining recording capacity.
2Set the TCG switch to [R-RUN].
3Set the DISPLAY switch to [TC].
4Press the camera’s REC START button to check the 
following items:
yThe P2 access LED blinks in orange.
yThe REC lamp inside the viewfinder lights up.
ySystem warnings do not appear inside the viewfinder.
5Press the camera’s REC START button again.
This step confirms that the P2 access LED is on and 
showing orange, and the REC lamp in the viewfinder is 
turned off.
6Press the LIGHT button to check that the screen 
brightness in the display window increases.
7Press the PLAY/PAUSE button to check that the clip that 
has just been shot is played back from the beginning.
Check that recording and playback operate properly.
8When multiple P2 cards are inserted into the P2 card 
slots, press the user button to which the SLOT SEL 
function has been assigned in order to select the P2 
card used for recording.
Repeat the operations in steps 4 to 5 and 7 to check that 
recording and playback operate properly.
2. Inspecting the Audio Level Automatic 
Adjustment
1Set the AUDIO SELECT CH1 and CH2 switches to 
[AUTO].
2Set the AUDIO IN CH1 and CH2 switches to [FRONT].
3Aim the microphone connected to the MIC IN jack at an 
appropriate sound source. Then, check that the level 
displays for both CH1 and CH2 change according to the 
sound level.
3. Inspecting the Audio Level Manual Adjustment
1Set the AUDIO IN CH1 and CH2 switches to [FRONT].
2Set the AUDIO SELECT CH1 and CH2 switches to 
[MAN].
3Turn the AUDIO LEVEL CH1 and CH2 controls.
Check that the level display increases when the controls 
are turned to the right.
4. Inspecting the Earphone and Speaker
1Turn the MONITOR control to check that the speaker 
volume changes.
2Connect an earphone to the PHONES jack.
Check that the speaker is turned off and the microphone 
sound can be heard from the earphone.
3Turn the MONITOR control to check that the earphone 
volume changes.
5. Inspection for Using an External Microphone
1Connect an external microphone to the AUDIO IN CH1 
and CH2 connectors.
2Set the AUDIO IN CH1 and CH2 switches to [REAR].
3Set the LINE/MIC/+48V selector switches on the rear 
panel to [MIC] or [+48V], depending on the power 
supply type of the external microphone.
MIC:For a microphone with internal power supply.
+48V:For a microphone with external power supply.
4Aim the microphone at a sound source. Then check that 
the audio level meter in the display window and the 
audio level display inside the viewfinder change 
according to the sound level.
The channels can also be checked separately by 
connecting a single microphone to each channel.
