To store the battery for a long period of time, we 
recommend you charge it once every year and 
store it again after you have completely used up 
the charged capacity. 

Dust and other matter attached to the battery 
terminals should be removed.

Do not throw 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. 

ª

About the AC

 

adaptor

If the battery is warm, charging requires more 
time than normal.

If the temperature of the battery is extremely 
high or extremely low, the [CHARGE] lamp may 
continue flashing, and the battery may not be 
charged. After the battery temperature has 
decreased or increased sufficiently, recharging 
starts automatically. So, wait for a while. If the 
lamp still continues flashing even after the 
recharging, the battery or AC adaptor may be 
faulty. If so, please contact a dealer.

If you use the AC adaptor near a radio, radio 
reception may be disturbed. Keep the AC 
adaptor 1 metre or more away from radio.

When using the AC adaptor, it may generate 
whirring sounds. However, this is normal.

After use, be sure to pull out the AC mains lead 
from the AC mains socket. (If they are left 
connected, a minute amount of current is 
consumed.) 

Always keep the electrodes of the AC adaptor 
and battery clean.

ª

About the cassette

Never place the cassette in a high temperature 
place.

The tape may be damaged, producing 
mosaic-like noise at the time of playback.

When storing the cassette after use, be sure 
to rewind the tape to the beginning and take it 
out. 

If the cassette is left for more than 6 months 
(depending on the storage condition) in the 
movie camera or stopped midway, the tape may 
sag and be damaged.

Once every 6 months, 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, the tape may be deformed 
by expansion or shrinkage attributable to 
temperature and humidity. The wound tape may 
stick to itself.

Dust, direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays), and 
humidity may damage the tape. Such usage 
may cause damage to the movie camera and 
the heads.

After use, be sure to rewind the tape to the 
beginning, put the cassette in the case to 
protect it from dust, and store it upright.

Keep the cassette away from strong 
magnetism.

Apparatuses using magnets such as magnetic 
necklaces and toys have magnetic force that is 
stronger than expected, and they may erase the 
contents of a recording or may increase noise.

ª

About the card

When inserting or removing the card, always 
set the [OFF/ON] switch to [OFF].

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. Moreover, do not fold or 
drop the card, and do not strongly vibrate it.

The card may break or the contents of the card 
may be destroyed or erased.

After use, be sure to remove the card from the 
movie camera for storage.

After use, or when storing or carrying the card, 
put it in the storage case.

Do not allow dust, water, or foreign substances 
to adhere to the terminals on the back of the 
card. Moreover, do not touch the terminals with 
your hand.

ª

Folder structure of the card

The folder structure of the card formatted by 
the movie camera will be displayed on the PC 
as the illustration below.
