User manual SONY HVL-LBP

[. . . ] When recording with the video light, if the subject is too close to the camcorder, several shadows of the subject may overlap (multi-shadow). Always adjust the white balance of the video camera manually before recording. ⷠWhen storing the video light, store the condenser lens first, followed by the diffuser and then the protection plate. The remaining battery capacity can be checked even if the POWER switch is set to OFF. [. . . ] ⷠBy using the battery adaptor cord when the video light is attached to your camcorder, the weight of the camcorder is reduced and so is lighter to hold. When using batteries other than the Sony "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack L series (NP-F900 range, NP-F700 range) with the video light, the remaining battery capacity will not be displayed. ⷠWhen using a battery pack that only has a short lifetime remaining, the remaining battery display may not agree with the actual remaining battery capacity. ⷠWhen using a "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack attached to the "InfoLITHIUM" compatible AC adaptor/charger, the available operating time will not be displayed. To display the operating time, attach the battery pack to the camcorder and then use for about 20 seconds before attaching the battery pack to the AC adaptor/charger again. ⷠThe battery pack cannot be recharged with the video light. When the white LED overheats for some reason, the video light will be turned off for safety reasons, and the TEMP lamp turns red and blinks rapidly for about 60 seconds. If the ambient temperature is high, use the video light at a lower temperature. If the TEMP lamp continues to blink, stop using the video light and consult your Sony dealer or local authorized Sony service facility. The video light does not have dust-proof, splash-proof or water-proof specifications. Do not cause strong impacts to the video light such as by dropping it or striking it. ⷠUse the "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack NP-F970/F960/F770/F750/F730. The "InfoLITHIUM" battery pack NP-F570/F550/F530/F330 cannot be used. ⷠDo not attach the video light to a camcorder equipped with an intelligent accessory shoe. Only use the video light within an ambient temperature range of 0 °C (35 °F) to 40 °C (104 °F). Doing so will raise the internal temperature, and it may cause a fire or accident, or cause the unit to malfunction. ⷠDo not look directly at the white LED while it is on. ⷠTo prevent the camcorder from dropping, do not carry your camcorder by the video light when it is attached. ⷠDo not place the video light near combustible or volatile solvents, such as alcohol or benzine. Doing so may cause fire or smoke to be emitted. ⷠDo not allow any liquids into the video light or drop combustible objects or metal objects on the video light. Doing so may cause a fire or cause the unit to malfunction if used. [. . . ] 1 Turn the light attachment knob on the video light toward RELEASE in order to retract the screw. 2 Attach the video light to the accessory shoe on the camcorder. 3 Turn the light attachment knob on the video light toward LOCK to fasten the video light.
