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.).

About Your VIEWCAM

Recording Format

Hi8 is a high-performance extension of the

ordinary 8 mm format. It uses advanced

technology to achieve even higher resolution

and picture quality. Use a video cassette with

the mark for high-quality recording and

playback, or with the mark to enjoy ordinary

8 mm recording and playback.

•When you load a Hi8 tape, recording is in Hi8

format. (The indicator appears on the

LCD screen.) When you load a normal 8 mm

tape, recording is in ordinary 8 mm format.

(The indicator does not appear.)

•During playback, the recorded format is

automatically detected.

•Video equipment not for use with Hi8 is

unable to play back a tape recorded in Hi8

format.

•If you want to record with a Hi8 tape in normal

8 mm format, set the menu item to

“OFF”on the (MENU 1) screen (Camera

mode) before recording. (See page 23 for

operation of the menu screen.)

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.
