Maintenance information and precautions
On the lens
If moisture condenses on the lens, no indicator appears, but the picture becomes dim.
Turn off the power and do not use the camcorder for about 1 hour.
How to prevent moisture condensation
When bringing the camcorder from a cold place to a warm place, put the camcorder in a
plastic bag and allow it to adapt to room conditions over a period of time.
(1) Be sure to tightly seal the plastic bag containing the camcorder.
(2) Remove the bag when the air temperature inside it has reached the
temperature surrounding it (after about 1 hour).
Video head cleaning
To ensure normal recording and clear pictures, clean the video heads. When the
v˚ indicator and “ CLEANING CASSETTE” message appear one after another or
playback pictures are “noisy” or hardly visible, the video heads may be dirty.
[a] Slightly dirty
[b] Very dirty
If this happens, clean the video heads with the Sony V8-25CLH/V8-25CLD cleaning
cassette (not supplied). After checking the picture, if it is still “noisy,” repeat the
cleaning. (Do not repeat cleaning more than 5 times in one session.)
Caution
Do not use a commercially available wet-type cleaning cassette. It may damage the
video heads.
Note
If the Sony V8-25CLH/V8-25CLD cleaning cassette is not available in your area, consult
your nearest Sony dealer.
