Quick Start Guide for Sony DVCAM
To start using the camera
o Find either small or large battery in camera case.
o If you use the larger battery, check battery life by pressing the white circular Push button on the front (non-grooved) side of the battery. The small circles will light up to the level of the battery’s charge. To recharge the battery, place it in the Sony Charge recharger (in the camera case), flip out the recharger prongs and plug the charger into an outlet. The small circles should light up in a flickering cycle as it begins recharging and will stop flickering when fully charged.
o Attach battery to back of camera under viewfinder. The blue and white “Recycle” sticker should face the top of the camera and battery should snap in securely.
o Turn the camera on by pressing in the green tab on the Power button on the back of the camera and move the Power button from the Off position.
o To take still pictures, turn the button to memory.
o To take video, turn the button to Camera.
o To playback video, turn the button to VCR.
o To insert a mini DV digital video cassette (included in the case):
o Press the Open/Eject button on the top right-hand side of the camera and move it towards you. Pull open the exterior panel.
o You must wait a moment for the interior cassette holder to pop out automatically.
o Insert the mini DV cassette with the holes facing toward the camera’s inside and the label side out.
o Press on the interior cassette holder (NOT the exterior panel) and wait for the interior holder to retract.
o Close the exterior panel.
o Remove the lens cap to see the picture.
o To see the picture you will be taking in black and white, use the extendable viewfinder on the top of the camera.
o To see the picture you will be taking in color or to avoid having to look through a viewfinder, press the silver Open button on the left rear side of the camera and flip out the viewer display screen.
