Maintenance and Inspections
6. Inspection of the clock, time code, and user
bits
1 Set the user bits as required.
Please refer to [Setting of the user bits] (page 65) for the
setting procedures.
2 Set the time code.
Please refer to [Setting the Time Code] (page 68) for the
setting procedures.
3 Set the TCG switch to [R-RUN].
4 Press the REC START button.
Check that the counter display number changes as
recording progresses.
5 Press the REC START button again.
Check that recording stops and the counter display
number stops changing.
6 Set the TCG switch to [F-RUN].
Check that the counter display number changes
regardless of recording status.
7 Set the DISPLAY switch to [UB].
Each time the HOLD button is pressed, make sure that
the displayed value changes in the following sequence:
VTCG DATE TIME No display (time zone)
TCG; and also verify that the displayed value is correct.
If DATE, TIME, or time zone is not correct, refer to
[Setting the Internal Clock’s Date and Time] (page 67)
for guidance on setting the correct values.
Note
Note that date and time data set for DATE, TIME, and
time zone is recorded in clips, and affects the playback
sequence, etc. at the time of thumbnail manipulations.
Do not use thinner or other solvents to remove dirt.
Wipe the lens with a commercially available lens cleaner.
Do not wipe the mirror. If dirt or rubbish is sticking on the
mirror, remove it with a commercially available air blower.
Smears
Smears may appear when shooting an object with very high
brightness.
This phenomenon becomes more obvious as the electronic
shutter speed becomes faster.
White defects
When the frame rate is set low during operation under VFR,
tiny defects may be seen in the video. White defects become
more noticeable in high-temperature operating conditions.
The camera is shipped from the factory with a backup
battery already mounted.
When the battery runs out, the “BACKUP BATT EMPTY”
display appears on the viewfinder screen for 5 seconds after
the POWER switch is turned [ON].
The internal clock stops operating when the battery runs out.
Also, the TCG time code value returns to “00:00:00:00”, and
the time code backup is disabled. The battery must be
replaced.
Please consult your distributor for replacement with a new
battery (CR2032).
The backup battery is visible when the panel on the LCD
monitor side is removed (right side when viewed from the
front).
