I. Camera Basics

The Sony DCR-PC100 is not a difficult camera to use, but the user will need to become familiar

with the majority of the operations and options of the camera in order to use it effectively. The

following images are major components to the DV camera. All of these features will be discussed in

this document.

Power Source

The camera uses a rechargeable battery

located on the side of the camera (See

the above images). A power cord is

used to charge the camera; therefore,

the battery does not need to be

removed.

To turn On/Off the camera:

To turn on the camera, simply push the

small green button and slide the power

switch up. To turn off the camera,

slide the power switch to OFF

position. This switch is located

directly below the viewfinder.

To use the power cord:

The camera bag should contain a DC

power cord that connects the camera to

a power outlet.

Beneath the battery is a cover labeled

“DC IN.” Open the cover and insert

the end of the cord into the camera.

Plug the other end into a power source.

To recharge the battery:

To recharge the battery, follow the

same direction as “To use the power

cord.” When charging the battery, the

camera should be turned off. The

orange light will turn off when the

battery is fully charged.

Inserting a DV tape

The Sony DV camera uses standard

DV tapes.

a. Slide the OPEN EJECT switch

down and pull open the cover. The

tape compartment will

automatically open.

when the cover is on the lens.

Note: Always replace the lens cover when not in

use.

CAMERA/VTR/Memory Power

Switch

a. CAMERA: Records digital video.

recorded video.

to work with the memory stick to

take still photographs. Set switch to

Focus

There are two methods to focus

the camera:

a. To auto focus push the FOCUS

button on the side of the camera.

b. The second method is manual focus.

The user needs to push the focus

select button to MANUAL. This is

the same button you would push to

select auto focus. On the LCD

screen manual focus is represented

by an icon of a hand with a “F”

inside it (See image).

Adjust the focus ring until the shot

comes into focus and then record.

Note: it is suggested that auto focus be used

until the user becomes comfortable with

manual focus option.

II. Recording

When recording video you can view the shot through the LCD screen or through the

viewfinder. The concept of the camera is to point and record. The camera needs to be in the

CAMERA mode to record video.

To Record

a. Simply aim the camera and press the

record button (See image).

If the image is too far away or too

close the user can use the zoom to

Page 6 of 11 Last Modified: 8/12/03

bring the shot in closer (T) or move

out farther (W). These options are

located between the view and the

lens near the top of the camera.

Note: If the zoom option is not practical the

user should physically move in order to

capture the frame of the shot.

b. When the camera records a red REC

will appear in the middle of the LCD

screen (See image).

To Review the Recording

a. Move the

CAMERA/VTR/MEMORY

selector

to the VTR setting.

b. In the VTR mode the camera

controls will appear (See image). To

review the recording, simply rewind

the tape and press PLAY.

III. Exporting to External Devices

To export the captured footage to an external device the user has a variety of options.

This is where the Sony DCR-PC100 becomes very verstile. The camera allows users to

output to a TV, a VCR, another DV Camera, or a PC. No additional software is required

when exporting to a TV, a VCR, or another DV Camera. However, when exporting to a

PC your computer will need an iLink cable, an IEEE-1394 card, and editing software.

The ITRC can supply all these needs when it comes to editing the footage.
