Subject size underwater
Since the refractive index underwater is higher than that in air, objects appear 1/4
closer, and therefore larger. This phenomenon affects the lens on the camcorder as well
as human the eye. Using the supplied wide-conversion lens is recommended.
Operate the camera with slow and stable motions
When recording, keep your body stable.
An unstable shot will be magnified on the TV screen.
Move the camcorder as slowly as possible. Since most of the objects underwater move,
you can record a good shot without moving the camcorder too much.
Note on recording underwater
Be sure to follow the safety rules for diving, such as diving period and depth.
Water leakage
The marine pack is designed to be
waterproof, however if water happens
to leak in ,the LEAK lamp (yellow)
flashes.
In such a case, remove the marine pack
from the water as soon as possible,
keeping it horizontal. Be sure to surface
following the safety rules for diving.
Dry the marine pack with a soft cloth
and then open it.
To switch off the lamp, disconnect the remote control cable.
Check the cause of the leak.
If the camcorder is wet, take it to the nearest Sony dealer immediately.
We recommend you purchase property damage insurance for underwater materials in
case of emergency.
After using
• After recording in the sea, submerge the marine pack in tap water or fresh water for
about 30-60 minutes before undoing the latches to completely remove any salt from
the marine pack unit, filter, and wide-conversion lens.
• When your camcorder is to be used near the sea for a long time, we recommend that
it be checked periodically by a Sony dealer.
