55 ≥When the AC adaptor is in use, it may generate whirring sounds. This is normal. ≥After use, be sure to disconnect the AC Adaptor from the AC Main socket. (If it is left connected, about 0.3 W of current is consumed at most.) ≥Keep the electrodes of the AC Adaptor clean at all times. ªAbout the Battery Battery characteristics A lithium ion battery is a small-sized battery with large capacity. However, when it is cooled down due to the low temperature (50oF (10oC) or less), the operating time becomes short by its characteristics and it may not operate properly. In this case, warm the battery moderately (e.g. in a pocket) and then insert it just before you use the Camera. (When using a body warmer, be careful not to let the battery directly touch the warmer.). Be sure to detach the battery after use. ≥If it is left attached to this unit, a minute amount of current is consumed even when this unit power is off. If it is left for a long time, over discharge takes place. The battery may become unusable even after it is charged. Have spare batteries on hand when you use this unit outdoors. ≥In a cold place, the recordable time will be shorter. ≥When you travel, be sure to bring the supplied AC adaptor for charging in the place you are visiting. If the battery is dropped, check that the terminal is not deformed. ≥If the battery attached to this unit with the terminal is deformed, it may damage the body of SD Video Camera. Be sure to pull out the battery and the card, disconnect the plug after use. ≥Store the battery in a cool and dry place with a relatively stable temperature. (recommended temperature: 59 to 77°F (15 to 25oC), recommended humidity: 40 to 60%) ≥Extremely high or low temperatures will shorten the life of the battery.≥If the battery is kept in hot, humid, smoky or dusty places, the terminals may rust and cause malfunctions. ≥Store the battery in a completely discharged state. To store the battery for a long period of time, we recommend charging it once every year and storing it again after you completely use up the charged capacity. Do not throw the battery into a fire. ≥If you heat or burn the battery, it may cause an explosion. ≥The battery has a limited life. If the operating time is drastically shortened even after charging, the life has expired. Replace it with a new battery. ªCondensation When using the camera outdoors during very cold weather, dews can be formed on the camera and the lens when you return to a warm place. If condensation takes place, the lens may be fogged or the camera may not properly operated. Take care not to cause condensation and take the appropriate countermeasures. Causes of condensation Differences in temperature and humidity as shown below cause condensation. ≥When this unit is brought into a warm room from outdoors in the cold. ≥When this unit is brought inside a car from outside. ≥When warming a cold room suddenly. ≥When cool air from an air conditioner is directly blowing on the unit. ≥When the place is humid. When condensation has taken place: ≥Turn the power off and leave this unit in this condition for about 1 hour. When the camera become close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally. ≥When you move this unit from a cold place to a warm place, enclose the camera in a plastic bag, wait until the camera is warmed, and then take it out of the bag. AV50PP_ENG.book 55 ページ 2003年11月26日 水曜日 午後3時17分
56 ªAbout the LCD Monitor ≥In a place with drastic temperature changes, condensation may form on the LCD monitor. Wipe it with the cleaning cloth (supplied). ≥Do not push the LCD monitor forcefully. It may cause unevenness and malfunctions to the monitor. ≥When the lens is aimed at a subject with high contrast, the picture may look uneven or after images may appear on the LCD monitor. This is not a malfunction. ≥If this unit is extremely cold when you turn the 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. ªAbout the Lens ≥Do not touch the lens. Wipe the SD Video Camera with the cleaning cloth (supplied) when the lens becomes unclean. Do not wipe stains on the lens with sharp objects. The lens may be scratched or broken. ≥When the Lens is Fogged Up, turn off the SD Video Camera and leave the SD Video Camera in this condition for approx. 1 hour. When the lens temperature becomes close to the ambient temperature, the fog disappears naturally. ªAbout the Memory Card When the power/card access lamp is Blinking (when the card is being read), do not remove the card, turn the power off, 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, drop, or subject it to strong vibration. ≥If the above precautions are not taken, the card or the recorded content may be damaged. Be sure to pull out and store the card after use. ≥Keep the card in the storage bag to store or carry the card around. ≥Do not allow dirt, dust or water to enter the terminals on the back of the card. Do not touch it with your fingers. ≥The SD Memory Card has a write-protect switch. Sliding the switch to [LOCK] prevents the contents in the Memory Card from deleting accidentally. ≥As a result of improper operations, recorded data may be damaged or erased. We are not responsible for the loss caused by the erasure of the recording data. ªState of Power Lamp while charging The Power Lamp flashes while charging. (Flashes approx. every 4 seconds when charging is normal (flashes on approx. 2 seconds and off approx. 2 seconds).) When the Power Lamps flashes more quickly or slowly (or turns off), some abnormality may have occurred. The flashing speed suggests the following states. Extremely high precision technology is employed to produce the LCD Monitor screen featuring a total of approximately 117,600 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.
