Features And Precautions - Sony MPK-DVF2 Bedienungsanleitung

Features and Precautions

On the marine pack
• If you open and join the front and rear shells in a place with high temperature and
high humidity, moisture condensation may occur when you put the marine pack in
the water, causing the front glass to fog.
The waterproof integrity of the marine pack is maintained by the O-ring, and the
groove and surface where it touches. Be especially careful not to damage or deform
that area. For details, see "Note on the O-ring" (page 16).
• Do not leave the marine pack under direct sunlight for a long period of time,
otherwise the temperature in the marine pack may rise and the equipment inside
may be damaged. If you can not avoid leaving the marine pack under direct sunlight,
be sure to cover the marine pack with a towel or other protection.
• Do not throw the marine pack into the water. Lower it gently into the water.
On recording underwater
• Checking that the equipment operates correctly and that there is no water leakage at
a depth of about one meter (3 feet) before you dive deeper.
• Be sure to follow the safety rules for diving, such as diving period and depth.
• Remove the bubbles from the outside of the front glass before recording.
Sony dose not accept liability for damage to the video camera recorder, battery, etc.
in the marine pack or for the loss of prerecorded material if a water leakage caused
by incorrect operation occurs.
On maintenance
The metal parts will rust and the movement of the operation switches will be impaired
if you leave salt water on the marine pack. If sea water enters through scratches in the
coating, the salt can corrode the metal parts of the marine pack unit and cause the
coating to peel off. After recording in the sea, submerge the marine pack in tap water or
fresh water for about 30 minutes before undoing the buckles to completely remove any
salt from the marine pack unit, filter and wide-conversion lens.
After washing, wipe the water from the inside of the marine pack and the loaded video
camcorder with a soft dry cloth.
Always carry out the above when you use the marine pack.
Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, benzine or alcohol for cleaning, as this
might damage the surface finish.
When you store the marine pack
• Coat the O-ring slightly with the supplied grease, and put it in the groove correctly.
Join the front and rear shells then put in a cool and dry place without fastening the
buckles.
• Prevent dust from collecting on the O-ring.
• Avoid storing the marine pack in a very hot, cold or humid place, or together with
naphthalene or camphor, as these conditions might damage the unit.
After using the marine pack
• Insert the A/V connecting cable plug to the plug holder of the camera mounting
shoe B.
• Insert the remote and microphone plugs to the plug holder inside of the front shell.
