Battery Check
Check the battery's power before filming. Rotate
the Main Switch at the side of the camera body
to the 'R' setting and press the battery check
button. If the lamp lights, battery power is suf­
ficient and shooting is possible at any frame
speed. If the lamp starts blinking, correct filming
is possible only at 18 and 9 fps. If the lamp fails to
light, the batteries must be changed. Please
check the batteries if you have just changed bat­
teries, you have filmed about 10 cartridges, you
have not used the camera for a long time, and if
you are filming in cold places.
Dioptric Adjustment
Dioptric adjustment is indispensable because
blur will result if the eyepiece is not adjusted to
the user's eyesight. The adjustable range is from
— 4 to -(-2 diopters.
1. Remove the cover and set the distance scale
at
0
°.
2. Point the camera toward a window and look
through the eyepiece.
3. Rotate the dioptric adjustment ring.
4. Stop rotating the dioptric adjustment ring
when the line located in the center of the split-
image screen can be clearly seen.
