ªReplacing the Batteries
The life of the batteries is about 1 year.
When the batteries are exhausted, purchase two
new “AAA”, “UM-4” or “R03” type batteries and
insert them in the same way as explained above.
≥Do not mix old batteries with new batteries.
≥Do not mix different battery types, i.e. Alkaline
and Manganese.
≥Do not use rechargeable (Ni-Cd) batteries.
≥Do not short-circuit the batteries.
≥When you do not use the Remote Controller
for a long time, take out the batteries and store
them in a cool, dry place.
ªConditions for Correct Operation of
the Remote Controller
≥The distance to the Movie Camera must not
be more than 5 metres.
≥The Transmitter Window on the Remote
Controller or the Remote Control Sensor (5)
on the Movie Camera must not be exposed to
direct sunlight and not be covered with
clothes, etc.
≥When operating the Zoom Function with the
Remote Controller, it is not possible to vary the
zooming speed. Also, there is a slight delay
between pressing the Zoom Buttons (40) on
the Remote Controller and the mechanical
zoom adjustment on the Movie Camera.
≥Within a distance of about 1 metre, it is also
possible to use the Remote Controller from the
side ([MENU] Button side).

≥For other notes concerning this item, see -55-.
ªSelecting the Correct Tape Length
To ensure that the Remaining Tape Time
Indication displayed during recording and
playback is correct, you need to set the tape
length that matches that of the inserted
cassette.
1Set [DISPLAY SETUP] >> [TAPE2] >> the
correct tape length.
≥The Tape Length Indications change in the
following order:
ªConfirming the Remaining Tape Time
During recording and playback, the Remaining
Tape Time Indication 3is automatically
displayed, so you always know how much time
you have left on the cassette. However, to
ensure correct display of the remaining tape
time, the tape length of the cassette being used
must be set correctly on the Movie Camera.
≥When recording or playback starts, the Tape
Length Indication disappears, and in its place
the [R] Indication 3flashes while the
remaining tape time is being calculated. A few
seconds later, the Remaining Tape Time
Indication appears. ([R] means Remaining.)
≥When the remaining tape time is less than
2 minutes, the [R] Indication and the
Remaining Tape Time Indication start to flash.
≥When you use a cassette bearing the [P] mark
4or other special types of cassettes, the
Remaining Tape Time Indication may not be
very precise.
