Precautions
On the video camera recorder
Take care not to expose the equipment to salty air. Do not drip water on the equipment.
• Do not open the marine pack while at sea or at the seaside. Preparations such as
installing and checking the equipment should be made in a place with low humidity
and no salty air.
• When a video camera recorder is used near the sea for a long time, we recommend
that it is checked periodically by a Sony dealer.
• If the equipment becomes wet, take it immediately to the nearest Sony dealer for
preventive maintenance.
On the video camera recorder power source
We recommend that you use battery packs with a large capacity. However, in some
cases battery packs NP-99/4500/F930/F950 cannot be attached to the video camera
recorder.
On the marine pack
• If you open and join the front and rear shells in a place with high temperature and
high humidity, moisture condensation may occur when you put the marine pack in
the water, causing the front glass to fog.
• The waterproof integrity of the marine pack is maintained by the O-ring, and the
groove and surface where it touches. Be especially careful not to damage or deform
that area. For details, see “Note on the O-ring” (page 18).
• Do not leave the marine pack under direct sunlight for a long period of time,
otherwise the temperature in the marine pack may rise and the equipment inside
may be damaged. If you cannot avoid leaving the marine pack under direct sunlight,
be sure to cover the marine pack with a towel or other protection.
• Do not throw the marine pack into the water. Lower it gently into the water.
• Whenever you pick up the marine pack, handle the grip. If the underwater video
light (not supplied) is attached to the marine pack, do not handle the underwater
video light’s arm.
On recording underwater
• Check that the equipment operates correctly and there is no water leak at a depth of
about one meter (3 feet) before you dive deeper.
• Be sure to follow the safety rules for diving, such as diving period and depth.
• Remove the bubbles from the outside of the front glass.
Sony does not accept liability for damage to the video camera recorder, battery, etc. in
the marine pack or for the loss of prerecorded material if water leak caused by
incorrect operation occurs.
