[. . . ] Indoors, however, artificial lighting is usually required. Video lights with halogen lamps provide the most natural artificial light over a long operating life. · Avoid backlit subjects.

Battery pack Label Window Cover · When storing a battery pack that is not fully charged, put the cover upside down so that only the battery pack casing is seen through the window. Caution: · For safety reasons, put the cover on the battery pack when it is not being used. If the metal parts of the battery pack come in contact with other metal items, there is a danger that a short circuit may occur. Battery power is consumed even when the VIEWCAM's power is turned off. If you are not going to use your VIEWCAM immediately, remove the battery pack (see page 8). Battery pack life The battery pack has a limited service life. If the period of use becomes noticeably shorter with a normal charge, the battery pack is at the end of its service life. Replace it with a new battery pack. Temperature during charging · The Ni-MH (nickel-metal hydride) type BT-H22 and BT-H32 battery packs can be charged at a temperature of 15°C to 30°C. Extending battery pack life · It is recommended that you use the battery pack until its charge is fully drained and the VIEWCAM is inoperable before recharging the pack. · Recharge the battery pack right before recording. A battery pack stored for an extended time will naturally wear down, resulting in decreased recording time. · Do not try to recharge a fully charged battery pack before it has been discharged, as this will cause deterioration of the battery's capacity. · Store the battery pack in a dry, cool place. 50 References References Video Cassette Tapes Use only tapes with the with this VIEWCAM. or mark Cleaning · Many plastic parts are used in the VIEWCAM casing.
