Precautions for using lights
* Do not point the light at the recorder body.
Instead, make sure that it is pointed parallel
to the camera or away from It. Be especially
careful with lights attached to the accessory
shoe. The high heat from the lights pointed at
the camera body can warp the cabinet.
Lights weighing over 500 g (1 Ib), or
floodlights (lights with wide dispersion) must
not be attached to the accessory shoe, as the
heat from the light will warp the cabinet. Use
of a special light stand is recommended.
e Lights become extremely hot during use—do
not touch them!
¢ Do not mix different types of light, as light
color temperatures vary and can cause the
subject's color to be recorded incorrectly.
For detailed instructions on proper use of lights,
carefully read the instruction manuals that
accompany them.
