Power supply:
This unit can be operated by
connecting it to either the AC adapter
or battery pack. The AC adapter
incorporates the AUTO VOLTAGE (AC
110–240 V, 50/60 Hz) function.
If you record on a tape on which PCM sound has already been recorded, the audio
track of the new VIEWCAM recording may not come out if the tape is played back on
a PCM-capable VCR. If this occurs, set the VCR’s audio monitor select switch to the
“Standard” position.
NOTE
The VIEWCAM’s LCD panel is a very high technology product with close to 90,000
thin-film transistors*, giving you fine picture detail. Occasionally, a pixel may appear
on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green, red, or black. Please note that this
does not affect your VIEWCAM’s performance.
*Specifications are subject to change without notice.

Precautions
•When the VIEWCAM is not in use,
remember to remove the cassette tape,
turn off the power, and disconnect the
VIEWCAM from the power source.
•Do not aim the lens at the sun.
Do not allow direct sunlight to strike the
VIEWCAM lens or LCD monitor screen,
whether or not recording is in progress, as it
may damage the CCD sensor or LCD screen
surface. Be particularly careful when
recording outside.
• When shooting in dark places, avoid sudden
brightly lit objects or light sources, such as
the sun. Otherwise, the image may white out.
Should this happen, point the lens in a
different direction until the picture returns to
normal.
•Avoid magnetic
sources.
Using the VIEWCAM
near strong fluorescent
lights, motors,
televisions, or other
magnetic sources may adversely affect
recorded images.
•Using the VIEWCAM near a broadcasting
station or other powerful transmission
source may cause buzzing or picture
deterioration.
•Avoid shocks and
dropping.
Do not drop or otherwise
subject the VIEWCAM to hard
shocks or strong vibrations.
Bumping or striking the unit
during recording will
generate noise in the
recorded image.
•Avoid placing the
VIEWCAM in close
proximity to lighting
equipment.
The heat from
incandescent lights
may deform the
VIEWCAM, or cause it
to malfunction.
•Always respect prohibitions or restrictions
on the use of electronic equipment on
commercial flights or in other sensitive
areas.
•Be aware of the temperature and humidity.
You can use your VIEWCAM at 0⬚C to
Ⳮ40⬚C, and at 30% to 80% relative humidity.
Do not store the unit in an unventilated car in
the summer, in direct
sunlight, or near strong
heat sources; this can
result in severe damage
to the unit casing and
circuitry.
•Avoid situations where water, sand, dust or
other foreign matter could get on or inside
the VIEWCAM, and do not use or leave
your VIEWCAM in areas with excessive
smoke, steam or moisture.
Such environments can
cause malfunctions or
cause mildew to form
on the lenses. Be sure
to keep the unit in a
well-ventilated location.
•Some small, portable
tripods may be difficult to
attach and may not be
sturdy enough to support
your VIEWCAM. Be sure to
use only a strong, stable
tripod.
•When using your VIEWCAM in a cold
environment, the LCD monitor screen often
appears less bright immediately after the
power is turned on.This is not a
malfunction. To prevent the VIEWCAM from
becoming too cold, wrap it in a thick cloth
(a blanket, etc.).

ii
AC Adapter
•The AC adapter may interfere with reception if
used near a radio.
•Prevent flammables, liquids, and metal
objects from entering the adapter.
•The adapter is a sealed unit. Do not attempt
to open or modify it.
•Do not damage, drop, or subject the adapter
to vibration.
•Do not leave the adapter in direct sunlight.
•Avoid using the adapter in humid or
extremely hot places.
Cleaning
•Many plastic parts are used in the VIEWCAM
casing. Do not use thinner, benzene or other
strong chemical cleaners. These may cause
discolouration and damage to the casing.
•Clean the casing with a soft, dry cloth. If the
casing is particularly dirty, wipe the casing
with a tightly wrung cloth dampened with a
diluted, neutral detergent. Then wipe it again
with a soft, dry cloth.
•Use a soft cloth to wipe finger marks and
other soiling off the LCD screen.
•Use a soft cloth, or compressed air and lens
paper designed for photographic lenses to
clean the lens.
LCD Monitor Screen
The VIEWCAM is equipped with a large LCD
monitor screen that allows you to record
scenes while comfortably holding the
camcorder. The LCD monitor screen can be
rotated for easy recording at high or low
angles. It also functions as a handy playback
monitor so you can enjoy what you have just
recorded.
Cautions:
•Do not apply pressure to the screen.
•Do not expose the screen to shocks, as it may
break.
•Do not place the VIEWCAM with the screen
facing down.
Note:
•Use a soft cloth to clean the screen.

Preparation
Preparation
Cautions:
•BEFORE REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK,
ALWAYS STOP THE TAPE AND TURN THE
POWER OFF. If you remove the battery pack
during recording or playback, the tape will
remain wound around the video head drum,
potentially causing damage to the tape.
• Make sure the battery compartment door is
closed firmly during operation. If it is not, the
battery pack may fall out or VIEWCAM operation
may fail because of the poor contact pressure.
• Remove the battery pack from the VIEWCAM if
the VIEWCAM will not be used for a long period
of time.
•When removing the battery pack, do not tilt
the VIEWCAM so that the battery compart-
ment faces down. The battery pack may fall
out.
• Do not expose the battery compartment door to
strong force, as it may come off.
• Use only SHARP model BT-H22 or BT-H32
battery packs with this VIEWCAM. Use of other
batteries may present a risk of fire or explosion.

Notes:
• Using the zoom (see page 20) and other
functions or turning the power on and off
frequently will increase power consumption.
This may result in a decrease of more than 50%
in the actual recording time compared to the
maximum continuous recording time listed
above.
• The charging time and recording time may vary
depending on the ambient temperature and the
condition of the battery pack.
•It is recommended that you have enough battery
packs on hand to provide two to three times your
estimated recording time.
•See page 53 for more information on using the
battery pack.
Caution:
•Charge only SHARP model BT-H22 or BT-H32

in step 3, the VIEWCAM’s cassette protection
mechanism might eject the cassette. If this
happens, repeat the insertion procedure.
•Do not attempt to pick up the VIEWCAM by the
cassette compartment door.
Notes:
•If the battery power is too low, you may not be
able to eject the cassette. Replace the battery
pack with a fully charged one.
•See page 54 for more information on the video
