Others
Do not insert objects other than the memory card into the
card slot
Do not block the vent on the unit
Blocking of the vent causes internal heating and may lead to
burns and fires
Do not turn off the [POWER] switch or remove the power
cable during recording or playback
The camera recorder may not show stable pictures for a
few seconds immediately after the power is turned on, but
this is not a malfunction
When the video signal output terminals are not in use, put
on the covers to prevent damage to the terminals
Do not drop this unit or subject it to strong impact or
vibration as it is a precision equipment
Optical performance of lens
Due to the optical performance of the lens, color divergence
phenomena (magnification chromatic aberration) may occur
at the periphery of the image This is not a camera
malfunction
LCD Monitor nd Viewfinder
The LCD monitor and viewfinder screens are
manufactured using high-precision technology Black spots
may appear on the LCD monitor and viewfinder screens, or
red, blue, and/or white spots may not disappear However,
this is not a malfunction and these spots are not recorded on
the SDHC card
If you use this unit continuously for a long period of time,
the characters displayed in the viewfinder may temporarily
remain on the screen This is not recorded on the SDHC
card They will not appear after you turn the power off and
then on again
If you use this unit in a cold place, the images may appear
to lag on the screen, but this is not a malfunction Retained
images are not recorded on the SDHC card
Do not press against the surface with force or subject it to
strong impact Doing so may damage or break the screens
Noise may appear in the viewfinder when switching
between the live video and playback images
Due to the characteristic of the viewfinder display device,
colors may appear on the images when you blink your eyes
This is not a malfunction It does not affect the recorded
images, SDI output, or component output
Ch r cteristic CCD Phenomen
Smear and blooming
Due to the physical structure of CCDs, vertical streaking
(called “smear”) may occur when shooting an extremely
bright light source or expansion of light (called “blooming”)
may appear around it Although the CCD employed in this
unit produces very little smear or blooming, these
phenomena may still occur when shooting a bright light
source
Moire or aliasing
Stripes, lines or other fine patterns may appear jagged when
they are shot
White dots
High temperatures can cause CCD sensor pixels to produce
white dots in the image This is especially prominent when
boosting the sensitivity
This is a characteristic of the charged-coupled device (CCD)
As far as possible, use this unit under conditions where the
temperature of this unit does not increase

button while the power of the equipment connected to the [IEEE1394] terminal is turned on
during thumbnail display in Media mode (SD Card mode) (Only for HD video systems)
When an SD video system is in use, availability of the [IEEE1394] terminal connection
cannot be detected in Media mode (SD Card mode) Allow the camera recorder to detect
the [IEEE1394] terminal connection in advance by turning on the power of the connected
equipment in Camera mode
Once the camera recorder is in IEEE1394 mode, the playback images of the connected
equipment are displayed
However, if the IEEE1394 connection is not recognized (such as when the power of the
IEEE1394-connected equipment is not turned on), the camera recorder will switch to
Camera mode instead
Press the [CAM/MEDIA] selection button during IEEE1394 mode to switch to Camera mode
If the power of the equipment connected to the [IEEE1394] terminal is OFF or if connection
is canceled in IEEE1394 mode, the camera recorder will not automatically switch to other
modes To quit IEEE1394 mode, you must operate the [CAM/MEDIA] selection button
Note :
This mode is used for viewing images input to the [IEEE1394] terminal from an external
device, and not intended for recording input images on the camera recorder
USB Mode Or nge This mode allows you to connect to a PC and transfer the files on an SDHC card to the PC
When the camera recorder is connected to a USB cable, the message AChange to USB
ModeB appears Select [Change] and press the Set button to switch to USB mode
