Attaching the camera to the tripod

First it is necessary to attach the tripod adaptor also known as a foot-plate to the tripod.

The wedge shaped section of the footplate is inserted into the recess on the top of the

tripod. It should securely click into place. Fully open the three legs of the tripod into a

position that is secure and balanced.

Place the camera’s pin into the grooved surface of the tripod (a). Slide the camera forward

until you hear a click.

To remove the digital camera from the tripod, press the red button on the release lever,

and whilst holding this button down, move the lever forward to release the lock.

Charging and removing the battery

1. Connect the mains lead to the charger.

2. Align the surface of the battery pack with the charger. Then fit and slide the battery

pack in the direction of the arrow.

3. Connect the power lead to the mains. At this time the CHARGE lamp will light up

orange to identify the battery is charging.

When the charge lamp goes out, charging is complete.

Unplug the unit from the mains and then remove the battery.

The battery can be used before it is completely charged.

The approximate normal charging time is 3 hours

A battery that is indicated as dead should hold a minimal charge

to allow for a cassette to be ejected from the camera

Installing and removing the battery

To install the battery

An arrow situated on the battery indicates which way to

place it

Slide the battery down until it clicks into place.

To remove the battery

Press the BATT button, lift the battery pack out in the

direction of the arrow.

Connecting the mains supply that accompanies the equipment can operate the camera.

To do this, connect the mains supply to the charger. The DC lead has two different

connectors, one attaches to the charger (see diagram 4) and the other to the camera. To

attach the DC lead to the camera open the rubber flap at the side of the camera and insert

the plug into the DC IN socket.

Media Equipment: DSR 200

A battery must be installed and the power switch at on to carry out the following steps.

1. Open the cassette compartment cover.

2. Insert a cassette with the tab upwards, and the window facing out and press down so

that the cassette loads.

3. Close the cover.

To eject the cassette, open the cassette compartment cover and press the eject button.

After the cassette rises take it out and close the cover.

Recording

Make sure the battery is installed, and the camera switched on and a cassette is inserted.

Set AUTO LOCK to ON (see diagram 11 on page 6 for location of this switch), thereby

allowing the settings to be automatically adjusted to best suit your shooting environment.

1. Remove the lens hood cap, and attach it to the grip strap.

2. Set the POWER switch to ON.

3. Set CAMCORDER / PLAYER to CAMCORDER.

4. Turn the start stop level to STANDBY.

5. Press START / STOP button.

The digital camera starts recording. The “REC” indicator appears and the red lamp lights

up in the viewfinder. The tally lamp on the front of the camera lights up red to indicate

recording.

To stop recording momentarily or to pause.

Press the start stop button. The “STBY” indicator appears in the

viewfinder.

To finish recording

Press the start stop button. Turn the start

stop lever to LOCK, and set the POWER

switch to OFF.

Recording sound

The DSR 200 comes with an on board microphone as well as an external shotgun

microphone. To make the most of the sound recording facilities a number of settings on

the camera should be made.

To gain the optimum from the microphone at the front of the camera set both switches to

AUTO.

The two REC LEVEL dials will only operate if using the REC LEVEL in the manual position

and not in auto mode.

Selecting the on board microphone or the external shotgun microphone

The upper switches relate to channel 1, the bottom switches to channel 2. Selecting either

channel 1 or 2 has implications on where to plug in the external microphone, it is therefore

necessary to compare which channel is selected here and which channel the external

microphone is plugged into (see diagrams 12 & 13).

Whichever channel is selected:

FRONT if using the onboard microphone.

REAR if using the external shotgun microphone.

Line should not be selected.

Attenuation switches must be positioned at OFF

unless rear microphone input levels are excessive

and distorted.

When using the external shotgun microphone. Plug into either channel 1 or 2. But

whichever channel is selected switch to rear position as shown in diagram 12.

The on board microphone is effective when the subject is in close proximity and the

surrounding environmental noise is low.

The external shotgun microphone is effective when the camera is located away from the

subject. If environmental noise is high the external shotgun microphone also allows you to

position it closer to the subject to attain the highest levels achievable.

Remember when recording audio levels connect the headphone to the camera and

monitor the levels.
