Be sure to affix a label only on the location
illustrated below [a] so as not to cause
malfunction of your camcorder.

Rewind the tape to the beginning, put the
cassette in its case, and store it in an upright
position.

Reinsert the cassette.

The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack is a lithium-ion
battery pack that has functions for
communicating information related to operating
conditions between your camcorder and an
optional AC adaptor/charger.
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack calculates the
power consumption according to the operating
conditions of your camcorder, and displays the
remaining battery time in minutes.

•Be sure to charge the battery pack before you

start using your camcorder.

•We recommend charging the battery pack in an

ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C
(50°F to 86°F) until the CHG lamp goes off,
indicating that the battery pack is fully charged.
If you charge the battery outside of this
temperature range, you may not be able to
efficiently charge the battery pack.

•After charging is completed, either disconnect

the cable from the DC IN jack on your
camcorder or remove the battery pack.

•Battery pack performance decreases in low-

temperature surroundings. So, the time that the
battery pack can be used is shorter in a cold
place. We recommend the following to use the
battery pack longer:
– Put the battery pack in a pocket to warm it up,

and insert it in your camcorder immediately
before you start taking shots.

– Use the large capacity battery pack (NP-FF70,

optional).

•Frequently using the LCD screen or frequently

operating playback, fast forward or rewind
wears out the battery pack faster. We
recommend using the large capacity battery
pack (NP-FF70, optional).

•Be certain to slide the POWER switch to OFF

(CHG) when not taking shots or playing back
on your camcorder. The battery pack is also
consumed when your camcorder is in standby
or playback paused mode.

•Have spare battery packs handy for two or

three times the expected recording time, and
make a trial recording before taking the actual
recording.

• Do not expose the battery pack to water. The

battery pack is not water resistant.

•If the power goes off even although the

remaining battery time indicator indicates that
the battery pack has enough power to operate,
charge the battery pack fully again so that the
indication on the remaining battery time
indicator is correct. Note, however, that the
correct battery indication sometimes will not be
restored if it is used in high temperatures for a
long time or left in a fully charged state, or the
battery pack is frequently used. Regard the
remaining battery time indication as an
approximate shooting time.

•The 

E mark indicating there is little remaining

battery time sometimes flashes depending on
the operating conditions or ambient
temperature and environment even if the
remaining battery time is about 5 to 10 minutes.

•Even if the battery pack is not used for a long

time, remove the battery pack from the
camcorder, store it in a dry, cool place after
fully charging it once per year and then using
the battery pack fully on your camcorder. This
is to maintain the battery pack’s functions.

•To use the battery pack fully on your

camcorder, turn on your camcorder and leave it
as it is without a cassette inserted.

•The battery life is limited. Battery capacity

drops little by little as you use it more and
more, and as time passes. When the available
battery time is shortened considerably, a
probable cause is that the battery pack has
reached the end of its life. Please buy a new
battery pack.

•The battery life varies according to how it is

stored, the operating conditions, and the
environment for each battery pack.

The i.LINK (MICROMV) jack on this unit is an
i.LINK-compliant MICROMV jack. This section
describes the i.LINK standard and its features.

i.LINK is a digital serial interface for handling
digital video, digital audio and other data in two
directions between equipment having i.LINK
jacks, and for controlling other equipment.
i.LINK-compatible equipment can be connected
by a single i.LINK cable. Possible applications are
operations and data transactions with various
digital AV equipment. When two or more
i.LINK-compatible devices are connected to this
unit in a daisy chain, operations and data
transactions are possible with not only the
equipment that this unit is connected to but also
with other devices via the directly connected
equipment.
Note, however, that the method of operation
sometimes varies according to the characteristics
and specifications of the equipment to be
connected, and that operations and data
transactions are sometimes not possible on some
connected equipment.

Note
Normally, only one piece of equipment can be
connected to this unit using the i.LINK cable.
When connecting this unit to MICROMV-
compatible equipment having two or more
i.LINK jacks, refer to the instruction manual of
the equipment to be connected.

i.LINK is a more familiar term for the IEEE 1394
data transport bus proposed by SONY, and is a
trademark approved by many corporations.
IEEE 1394 is an international standard
standardized by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers.

The maximum baud rate of the camcorder is
“S400”.
i.LINK’s maximum baud rate varies according to
the equipment. Three maximum baud rates are
defined:

S100 (approx. 100 Mbps*)
S200 (approx. 200 Mbps)
S400 (approx. 400 Mbps)

The baud rate is listed under “Specifications” in
the instruction manual of each piece of
equipment. It is also indicated near the i.LINK
jack on some equipment.
The maximum baud rate of equipment, except
for this unit, on which it is not indicated is
“S100”.
When units are connected to equipment having a
different maximum baud rate, the baud rate
sometimes differs from the indicated baud rate.

*What is Mbps?
Mbps stands for megabits per second, or the
amount of data that can be sent or received in
one second. For example, a baud rate of 100
Mbps means that 100 megabits of data can be
sent in one second.

For details on how to dub when this unit is
connected to other video equipment having
i.LINK (MICROMV) jacks, see page 101, 105.
This unit can also be connected to other i.LINK
compatible equipment made by SONY (e.g.
VAIO series personal computers) other than
video equipment.
Before connecting this unit to your computer,
make sure that application software supported
by this unit is already installed on your
computer.
For details on precautions when connecting this
unit, also refer to the instruction manuals for the
equipment to be connected.

Use the Sony i.LINK 4-pin-to-4-pin cable (during
MPEG2 dubbing).

If your camcorder is brought directly from a cold
place to a warm place, moisture may condense
inside your camcorder, on the surface of the tape,
or on the lens. In this condition, the tape may
stick to the head drum and be damaged or your
camcorder may not operate correctly. If there is
moisture inside your camcorder, the beep sounds
and the 

% indicator flashes. When the Z

indicator flashes at the same time, a cassette is
inserted in your camcorder. If moisture
condenses on the lens, the indicator will not
appear.

None of the functions except cassette ejection will
work. Eject the cassette, turn off your camcorder,
and leave it for about 1 hour with the cassette
compartment open. Your camcorder can be used
again if the 

% indicator does not appear when

the power is turned on again.

Note on moisture condensation
Moisture may condense when you bring your
camcorder from a cold place into a warm place
(or vice versa) or when you use your camcorder
in a hot place as follows:

– You bring your camcorder from a ski slope

into a place warmed up by a heating device

– You bring your camcorder from an air-

conditioned car or room into a hot place
outside

– You use your camcorder after a squall or a

shower

– You use your camcorder in a high

temperature and humidity place

How to prevent moisture condensation
When you bring your camcorder from a cold
place into a warm place, put your camcorder in a
plastic bag and tightly seal it. Remove the bag
when the air temperature inside the plastic bag
has reached the surrounding temperature (after
about 1 hour).

To ensure normal recording and clear pictures,
clean the video head. The video head may be
dirty when:
– mosaic-pattern noise appears on the playback

picture.

– playback pictures do not move.
– playback pictures do not appear.
– the 

x indicator and “  CLEANING

CASSETTE” message appear one after another
or the 

x indicator flashes on the screen during

recording.

If the above problem, [a], [b] or [c] occurs, clean
the video heads with the Sony MGRCLD
cleaning cassette. Check the picture and if the
above problem persists, repeat cleaning.

If the video heads get dirtier, the entire screen
becomes blue [c].
