Introduction
Handling of SDHC Cards
Ⅵ The access lamp lights up in red when data on the SDHC
card is being accessed. Do not remove the SDHC card
during data access (such as recording, playback, or
formatting). Do not turn off the power or remove the
battery and AC adapter during access either.
Ⅵ Do not use or store this device in a place that is subject to
static electricity or electrical noise.
Ⅵ Do not place the SDHC card near locations that are
exposed to strong magnetic fields or radio waves.
Ⅵ Inserting the SDHC card incorrectly may result in damage
of this device or the SDHC card.
Ⅵ We are not liable for any accidental loss of data stored on
the SDHC card. Please back up any important data.
Ⅵ Make use of the SDHC card within the prescribed
conditions of use. Do not use the SDHC card in places
that are subject to direct sunlight, high humidity or
corrosion; places near thermal equipment; sandy or dusty
places; or in a car under the sun with the doors and
windows closed.
Ⅵ Do not bend or drop the SDHC card, or subject it to strong
impact or vibration.
Ⅵ When formatting or erasing data using the camera
recorder, only the file administration information is
changed. The data is not completely erased from the
SDHC card. If you want to completely erase all of the
data, we recommend either using commercially available
software that is specially designed for that purpose, or by
physically destroying the SDHC card with a hammer, etc.
Ⅵ Do not dismantle or modify the SDHC card.
Ⅵ Do not touch the terminals with your hands or with a metal
object.
Ⅵ Do not allow dust, dirt, water, or foreign objects to adhere
to the terminals.
Ⅵ Do not remove the pasted labels or stick other labels or
stickers on the SDHC cards.
Ⅵ Do not use pencils or ballpoint pens to write on the SDHC
cards. Always use oil-based pens.
Ⅵ If you format (initialize) the SDHC card, all data recorded
on the card, including video data and setup files, will be
deleted.
Ⅵ You are recommended to use cards that are formatted
(initialized) on this camera recorder.
● The SDHC card may be damaged if the camera recorder
is not operated correctly. Formatting (Initializing) the
SDHC card may allow it to operate correctly.
● SDHC cards that have been formatted (initialized) on
other cameras, computers or peripheral equipment may
not operate correctly. In this case, format (initialize) the
SDHC card on this camera recorder.
LCD Monitor and Viewfinder
Ⅵ The LCD monitor and viewfinder screens are
manufactured using high-precision technology. Black
spots may appear on the LCD monitor and viewfinder
screens, or red, blue, and/or white spots may not
disappear. However, this is not a malfunction and these
spots are not recorded on the SDHC card.
Ⅵ If you use this device continuously for a long period of
time, the characters displayed in the viewfinder may
temporarily remain on the screen. This is not recorded on
the SDHC card. They will not appear after you turn the
power off and then on again.
Ⅵ If you use this device in a cold place, the images may
appear to lag on the screen, but this is not a malfunction.
Retained images are not recorded on the SDHC card.
Ⅵ Do not press against the surface with force or subject it to
strong impact. Doing so may damage or break the
screens.
Ⅵ Noise may appear in the viewfinder when switching
between the live video and playback images.
Ⅵ Due to the characteristic of the viewfinder display device,
colors may appear on the images when you blink your
eyes. This is not a malfunction. It does not affect the
recorded images, SDI output, or component output.
Characteristic CCD Phenomena
Ⅵ Smear and blooming
Due to the physical structure of CCDs, vertical streaking
(called “smear”) may occur when shooting an extremely bright
light source or expansion of light (called “blooming”) may
appear around it. Although the CCD employed in this device
produces very little smear or blooming, these phenomena may
still occur when shooting a bright light source.
Ⅵ Moire or aliasing
Stripes, lines or other fine patterns may appear jagged when
they are shot.
Ⅵ White dots
High temperatures can cause CCD sensor pixels to produce
white dots in the image. This is especially prominent when
boosting the sensitivity.
This is a characteristic of the charged-coupled device (CCD).
As far as possible, use this device under conditions where
the temperature of this device does not increase.
